What would you have done differently?
I was visiting a team of administrators this week to give them a presentation on how to work more effectively with another department. Whilst I was fine tuning my presentation I over heard two people having a conversation that really wasn’t going anywhere. Lets call them A and B for simplicities sake.
A wanted B to do a piece of work. B was in the middle of doing something and states that he cannot do that right now. These two points of view were repeated a few times with out much more being added or taken away. The result was A walked away saying “fine whatever”.
Both A and B were clearly trying to convey a message that didn’t seem to be resonating with the other person. So it got me thinking what was going wrong and how could they have had a more productive exchange?

Ever get the feeling that you seem to be putting a lot of effort in but don’t really seem to be getting the results out? Maybe you just need a break, some time out to relax and allow yourself to have some fun. Paul and Gina talk about how being too focused on one thing can actually be counter productive and a simple break can result in some refreshing ideas and results that just pure hard work can cause you to over look.

Are you the type of person that doesn’t seem to have any time to yourself? Do you also find that you never get thanks for the thing you are doing? Maybe it’s time to start giving yourself some credit. Spending some time and energy on yourself doesn’t automatically make you selfish!

I remember being school-aged, and feeling like time really dragged by. A week seemed to crawl ,and a month was a life-sentence (especially when grounded!). I also recall my grandmother telling me emphatically that ‘time flies’; and on this – my thirtieth birthday – I certainly understand more of the depth of her message!
It’s not just leaving my 20’s that causes me to ask: So what does age really mean/matter? Is there any significance in the quantity of our birthdays other than to mark the passing of time?

Spending is an activity that some of us love, and some of us dislike – yet we do it in some form or another every single day, whether we are conscious of it or not. It is usually associated with the notions of consuming, disposing of and exhausting (the object or resource) – and there is often a sense of trade – ‘this’ for ‘that’, to meet an immediate need or want. So, if we are not talking about money – then what other resource do we spend daily?
