Workplace Performance & Workplace Stress
Are you an employee in a job you don't like?
Are you an employer or a manager trying to motivate your employees to be more productive?
Over the last 20 years I have been both an employer and an employee in many different businesses. And it seems to me that the challenges are much the same across all businesses.
Without wanting to simplify things too much, managers want to make their businesses more profitable and have a minimum of employee related challenges.
For employees they want to be rewarded and acknowledged for good performance, and they want to avoid discovery of poor performance.
Communication & Persuasion Skills
It is no secret that life is largely about communication. If you want someone to do something for you then you have to communicate. If you are having a challenge that you want to overcome then you need to communicate.
If you want to improve the quality of your life then you need to look at improving the quality of your communication. Most conflict in life comes from a communication malfunction.
Persuasion Skills
Getting someone to do what you want without conflict is a vital skill in today's business environment. Customer relations, human resources, and management are all about persuasion.
One of the things I credit with improving my skills in this area is NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming). NLP is about understanding why we do what we do and why other people do what they do.
You can spend thousands of dollars learning NLP from a variety of courses. Alternately check out the 'Persuasion Skills' ebook. This little ebook is an awesome collection of the skills required to get people to do what you want willingly
