WHEN LAST DID YOU CHECK?

-
Yes, when was the last time you checked, on your distant cousin, old school mates, ex-bestie and others that you have not lost their contacts but have lost touch with? It is often saddening how the unending activities of life shifts our already divided attention and care away from those we love and share things in common with. We tend to remember them when Facebook notifies us of their birthdays, when we need their assistance, or when we hear of their death. Then, we begin to recall all the great memories we had with them in sweet emotion-arousing words, and praaaaa!, we split again, until the next cycle. With the rapid increase in suicide, depression and low self esteem rate, the COVID-19, business ownership and work stress and even the most recent nationwide protests, a phone call to catch up will just be fine. I charge you to check on someone today. Short sentences like ‘I just want to check up on you’, ‘Hope you are fine?, goes far long way than you can imagine. That just add more sense to life. cc: @layo_sobo @layo_sobo

7 Effective Ways to Develop Your Negotiation Skills

1. Practise Saying ‘No’ Human beings are programmed to be non-confrontational. From a young age, we’re taught to follow orders or else get punished, and as adults, we’re taught the same thing. Time and again, we’re told to ‘let it go’ and ‘just go with the flow’ so we don’t upset the client or the boss. This lifelong habit of avoiding confrontation and just saying ‘yes’ weakens your negotiation skills. But not to worry; you can still reprogramme your mind by practising saying ‘no’. You can start with something small like going home on time or refusing to work extra hours, especially if you’re already raking in too much overtime. If that seems like a big step for you, then you can start by saying ‘no’ to that annoying colleague who loves sabotaging your healthy eating habits by tempting you with a piece of chocolate cake. These might seem like small steps, but taking the opportunity to say ‘no’ to minor instances will help you say ‘no’ to bigger things – whether it’s
