If you’ve hiked to a plateau, you know it can be a great place to rest and soak up the surrounding scenery. Clients and colleagues pick up on negativity before you even realize you’re emanating it. Becoming a Negative Presence?

In the argument the boss brought up the job performance of the employee and how he wasnt showing productivity. By counting backwards and focusing on the numbers, it is more difficult to focus on the actual stress element and therefore, you become more relaxed. Be assertive, state your case, and give and ask for solutions.

Either way, it’s easy to get caught up in the daily grind and sometimes, you need a reminder of all the loveable parts of your job. It’s no secret that admin professionals rack up tons of knowledge on dozens of office topics and that no two days are ever the same.

As founder and CEO of Office Dynamics International, I have been on the “other side of the desk” for 25 years. Executives and Assistants cannot keep up with the emails that flood their Inbox on a 24/7 basis. I had other relationships that weren’t so rewarding and I did not stay very long at those jobs.

Brilliantly Better

JUNE 22, 2010

Each and every day I woke up with the firm conviction that if I would be a successful business man, if I would make a lot of money and build an image of success, good things will happen. A partner may abuse the other one in various ways, from lack of acceptance up to lying or cheating. Notice the word “bullshit” in my article?

Unchecked, the effects are: increased stress, lower self-esteem and poor productivity among the abused, which in turn damage any organization’s effectiveness, stability and profitability. If bullying behavior is tolerated, the company is damaged from the inside out by chewing up its people. It’s just the right thing to do.
