On and off stage, rock stars are always in the moment, making magic happen: quick thinking, razor wit, and the knack of landing the right move at just the right time, in just the right way.
Have you got what it takes to bring rock-star moves to your office? When the spotlight is on, can you pull off a performance that will be the center of everyone's attention? We bet you can.
Read and adopt these eight slick tricks for doing just that, hacks to help you stand out and turn your next under-pressure moment at work into a top-ten hit.
1. Impromptu Meeting? Don't Miss a Beat: Here's the scenario — you're on your way out of the office for lunch and the boss snags you for a sudden meeting. Next thing you know, you've got a to-do list of demands that need completing by day's end. Grab your S Pen on the Galaxy Note 4, get it all down, and now you're ready to impress.

 2. Major Meeting, Dead Phone Battery? No Problem:
Nothing gets the stage fright going as quickly as realizing you forgot to charge your phone before the morning's big client meeting. Don't freak out! Plug in your Galaxy Note 4, grab a shower and a cup of coffee, and you'll be good to go. The Note 4 charges up to 50% in around 30–40 minutes. Get ready to knock your clients’ socks off. 

 3. Create an After-Meeting Encore:
Is the conference-room whiteboard full of important details at the end of the weekly meeting? Snap a shot with Photo Note on the Galaxy Note 4, and it will be digitized right away. Then modify, edit, and expand on the parts you want to emphasize. Instantly send the final product around to key players, right from your device. 

 4. Go the Extra Distance:
Great rock stars know the benefits of doing a bit of extra work for the people. Volunteer. Pitch in on programs outside your job description. You'll get accolades from the folks you help, inside your company and out.
 
5. Inspire Others: Be a resource to the new employee — help them learn the ropes and come up to speed as they start their gig. Be a cooperative resource, they'll remember you fondly for it, and so will your other colleagues.
 
6. Go to the After-Party: Put in those after-work hours at the pub or restaurant. Show your human side. Shake a hand and tell someone they're a valuable part of the team. Or, hit the field with your company's springtime softball or soccer league. It's always a rock-star move to bond with and make fans out of your colleagues and friends. They will save you from an unexpected crisis someday.
 
7. Witty Banter: Not every meeting recap needs to be a serious thought-piece on 
 ways forward. Drop in a joke or two. Hey, work the crowd. Your teammates will know you're the life of the party and the office.
 
8. A Little Luxury: It never hurts to surround yourself with a little luxury, either. At lunchtime, do a bit of shopping, rock stars need some retail therapy, too! Then return to the office calm and ready to take on the day.

By:   Deborah Brown Have you given up on your dreams? Would you like to get them back? Many of us give up on our dreams. Often our dreams slip away without our even realizing it.

Once you know how important living your dreams is to your health and mental well being, then yo

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
