When You Need To Tell Your Boss About A Mistake (And When You Can Fix It Yourself)

-

1. YOU SENT THE WRONG DATE ON AN INVITATION OR THE WRONG ATTACHMENT IN AN EMAIL TO CLIENTS

So you went back to read over an email you sent earlier today and found an error, and now you’re feeling pretty embarrassed. But have no fear: This situation has an easy fix. Follow up the first email with a second email in which you apologize to the clients and include the correct date or attachment, and voila—problem solved.

2. YOU ACCIDENTALLY DELETED IMPORTANT DATA IN A COMPANY GOOGLE DOC

Gulp—just like that, with one swift push of a button, three weeks of your team’s hard work has been lost. While your first reaction might be to go into full-on panic mode, take a deep breath and remember that Google docs provide an option to view revision history and restore old versions of documents. Read: You’ll have the doc back up and running again in no time. And if a coworker happened to notice your mistake in the split second that the info was gone? Send her a quick apology via Gchat.

3. YOU AND A COWORKER HAD A MINOR MISUNDERSTANDING

After a slight miscommunication via email, you and a coworker are feeling, well, pretty frustrated with one another. While it might be tempting to bring in someone else to mediate, take a minute to step back and evaluate the situation. If it really is just a matter of miscommunication (and this is the first time this has ever happened), you can handle it on your own. Start a calm, in-person conversation with your coworker and use those excellent people skills of yours to resolve the conflict—all without getting your boss involved.

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. Our dreams are who we are. They give us an incentive to get out of bed everyday. They are the reason we were born, and our destiny to fulfill while we are here. They are within your grasp. And yes, they can come true. It's up to you to decide if they will. What can you do if you've given up on your dreams? Follow these easy steps: Remember you are worth it. You deserve to live your dreams. Recognizing this is the hardest and most necessary step. Most of us think that only other people get to live their dreams. Only other people are lucky enough, not us. We think we don't deserve it but the only thing these thoughts do is keep us from moving forward. Remember that your dreams are important. 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
