Communication is an activity that occupies approximately 70% of our waking hours and also something we tend to struggle with on a regular basis. Via Anne Egros
Belinda MJ.B's insight:
It is common sense that we should listen to ourselves when we speak. Indedd, we tend to forget that what we say doesn't matter. That's actually how it is perceived by others that will remain the most important.

Good question to ask to yourself : Am I taking full responsibility for the message being heard by the other person? (Remember, it doesn’t matter what you say, it only matters what the other person hears.)

Groundbreaking ideas are no longer a luxury when success is contingent upon an organization's ability to adapt, innovative, and improve. We need look no further than Kodak, Sears, or Sony for validation that status-quo thinking is the fast-track to failure. How, then, can organizations break free of conventional thinking to spark creativity? Via Roger Francis, Tom Haak, Gary Bamford, David Hain Delete the scoop?

News is bad for you. It leads to fear and aggression. It hinders your creativity and makes you sick. We should stop consuming it, says Rolf Dobelli, who's abstained for years
Belinda MJ.B's insight:
Many of my clients comes to prepare and find peace of mind while in transition in a multicultural environement either to overcome conflicts, or to learn how to make meaningful decision for them, their family and their organizations.
During the process we evaluate how likely they react and respond to life events out of their comfort zone in order to assist them finding strengths and develop new communication and leadership skills. We often find them having a high level of catabolic energy which is exhibited by passivity or hostility.
And guess what, most of their stress and distress are cultivated and or aggravated by the "news". Those short irrelevant pieces of information which do not bring any good news, nor real news at all. The pieces of information which go on and on on CPP and FAX NEWS from one and unique perspective: sensational FEAR and who is to BLAME.
From the article,
"The media feeds us small bites of trivial matter, tidbits that don't really concern our lives and don't require thinking. That's why we experience almost no saturation. Unlike reading books and long magazine articles (which require thinking), we can swallow limitless quantities of news flashes, which are bright-coloured candies for the mind.[...]
News is toxic to your body. It constantly triggers the limbic system. Panicky stories spur the release of cascades of glucocorticoid (cortisol). This deregulates your immune system and inhibits the release of growth hormones. In other words, your body finds itself in a state of chronic stress. High glucocorticoid levels cause impaired digestion, lack of growth (cell, hair, bone), nervousness and susceptibility to infections. The other potential side-effects include fear, aggression, tunnel-vision and desensitisation.[...]
Society needs journalism – but in a different way. Investigative journalism is always relevant. We need reporting that polices our institutions and uncovers truth. But important findings don't have to arrive in the form of news. Long journal articles and in-depth books are good, too.[...]"
The author has now gone without news for four years, so he can see, feels and reports the effects of this freedom first-hand: less disruption, less anxiety, deeper thinking, more time, more insights. It's not easy, but it's worth it.

John Michel's curator insight,
April 29, 10:08 PM
The study found that emotional intelligence—which Six Seconds defines as “a set of skills for understanding and using emotions effectively”—accounted for almost half of an individual manager’s performance level. It also found that emotional intelligence increased organizational engagement, higher organizational engagement achieved higher bottom-line results, and employee turnover dropped 63 percent during the study.

We need to see ourselves as others see us, even when others' perceptions don't match our own. Risking the possibility of finding out that others don't consider us the capable, well-intentioned bosses we think we are requires enormous courage. The fact is, you don't know how others see you or whether they trust you, if you don't somehow ask. Via Sabrina Murphy, Bobby Dillard

Belinda MJ.B's insight:
This was one of my biggest fear, speak in public in English which is not my mother tongue. As a French native speaker, born and raised for 30 years in a country were excellence and perfection are key to succeed, it took me courage and commitment to step in and start to host Teleconferences, Seminars, Workshops and other public speaking duties.
I made mistakes, I tripped on words, my hands sweat heavily, my head burned often until the day I realized that most of the people in the room were listening actively and were supportive!
Each time, it is a success over my fear (I don't have it anymore!) that helped me to build greater confidence!
