How much of your life do you as a professional woman spend attempting to fulfill someone else’s expectations of you? How many times do you make professional-womandecisions based on what someone thinks you ‘should’ do? If you are like most people (and that includes me) you probably give far more attention to those shoulds than is healthy for you.

As children, we are brought up on shoulds such as, ‘you should eat all your supper because there are starving kids in the world,’ ‘you should drink your milk because it’s good for you,’ ‘you should share your toys with all the other kids,’ and of course, ‘you should be a good girl and go to bed now’. Those are just a very few of the shoulds we grow up with. There are thousands more.

 

As we grow and mature, we become so accustomed to doing what we are told by our parents and teachers that in many instances, we end up living on automatic pilot. We don’t stop and think about our choices, we just do what we have been taught we ‘should’ do.

Psychological techniques in the interview

If you are going for an interview, each of us would like to know in advance all the tricks and techniques that are used by employers and which are so often the Psychological techniques in the interviewcause of failure. Not infrequently, these methods play a crucial role in determining your compliance of the proposed post. By meeting, at least, you’ll save a decent composure, confidence in their own abilities and professionalism. So:

1. If in the interview you are asked to draw on a sheet of paper imaginary creatures – do not be surprised.
As shown in my experience, often have to draw, especially if the suits in foreign operations. This – not a joke to come for an interview, but only one of the so-called graphic techniques are widely used in psychology. So feel free to take a pencil and draw any animal that you just come to mind. No one will look at your artistic ability and quality. Trick and the trick is only in the fact that it animal will … impersonate you, as your psychological portrait. So draw a furry, big-nosed, large or small entity, the main thing – that it turned out good and likable. Do not forget that this is your internal prototype

2. Questions about your strengths and weaknesses can be held for a dirty tricks and cunning.
Speaking of his own merits, the main thing – do not overdo it in praising himself and not take sides for not related to the vacancy qualities. You can talk about your responsibility, diligence, punctuality, initiative, integrity, ability to continue to operate in the most difficult of situations. But it is not necessary to mention your reliability and willingness to perform any work, which you can ask the staff. No need to talk about excessive kindness and openness with people, and certainly not worth mentioning is that you can fine cross stitching, and the greatest passion of your life – your dog.

You want to see your relationship alive and healthy with others,so you need to retain some points in your mind,otherwise a relationship can’t survive for longer and eventually end from its crippled stage.

Before mentioning some indispensable points in this regard,we see the second name for friendship is give-and-take relationship which is not worth of it,any relationship is behind as long as both people are firm and consistent to see it.

To make every thing is difficult and to break is easy.No doubt its unchangeable when it comes to relationships,its quiet easy to destroy a per-existing relationship but not as easy to create a new one or restore the ruined one whatever the relationship people have with each-other as its between two friends or a couple,between an employer and employee or between parents and children.So what makes a relationship ended ,when and why we are disconnected from each-other?

It’s with good reason that people talk of dangling the proverbial carrot instead of using the stick. Bruising your employees egos is hardly a long-term motivator. But there were days as a manager when I came dangerously close to grabbing the stick. I’m sure you’ve been there. Here are some tips on using the “carrot” to inspire your employees.

Hot Tip from the Top

“Motivation begins with yourself, it’s contagious. I make sure to say ‘thank you’ a lot to my staff.”

MOTIVATING YOUR STAFF
