THEY CHEATED - 1

-
Sometimes last year, I was opportune to invigilate an examination in a secondary School. I was asked to stand in for a teacher while she attended to something important in the staffroom. It was a senior class of about 55 students. At first when they saw that I was to be with them while the exam went on, they were excited and thought that I would give them a free hand... They started hailing "Aunty! Aunty!!" I smiled and announced to them, "I do not condone exam malpractice; no side talks, no peeping into your friend's script.... " They were not expecting such from a "friendly Corper" that I'd been. But the girls still continued, trying to convince me to allow them "help" one another. There and then, I insisted and told them plainly that I am strongly against any sort of corruption, including exam malpractice. At this point, only 30% of the class was able to continue the exam without external help. They became sad and bitter, many of them looked at me with so much contempt.

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
