Embrace the awkward moment fully. By doing this, you show true confidence.

The fear of looking ridiculous and being judged by others freezes your emotions and expressions, amplifying your discomfort in front of others.

Win Arguments

... without making enemies:

Make sure you communicate you are not there to fight (using your tone of voice, for example).
Avoid making stateme...

Raising Your Voice

When the conversation gets heated, we tend to raise our voices and talk faster. This is a dangerous path because now the ability of both sides to change their minds is close to zero. We dig even deeper into our initial positions and beliefs and no matter how good an argument is, it is not going to be received by the other side.

You can sense this happening when people rush to talk over one another.

Releasing Tension

Slowing things down: take a deep breath before speaking, to create a pause, to reduce the tension and to open up the other person to your position.
Inflections: upward inflections are good for de-escalating conflict because they show you are not there to control and command.
The ability to crack a joke and the ability to take a joke and laugh make you more persuasive, give the impression of being on the same side and release the tension.

'Deep breath, cup of tea, long walk': nine ways to stay calm in a crisis

From conflicts with colleagues or family, frustrations at work, or even being stuck in traffic - our daily lives are not short on stress.

How Do I Shop Ethically?

If we buy non-essential items, are we further endangering the people who make and box and deliver those things? Or does shopping provide much-needed support to crippled businesses?

Feeling Guilty For Shopping

As shopping for non-essentials becomes a luxury, our old habits of ordering whatever we want, whenever we feel like ordering, is now making many of us feel guilty.
Brands are eager to restart th...

Before We Click Buy

There are now many things to consider before ordering something:

Should we add to the burden of the ‘essential workers’ already toiling hard?
Shouldn’t we save the money for the uncertain future?
Shouldn’t we give it to a homeless charity, to those less fortunate in these troubled times?
Is ordering safe?

Shop Small

This seems to be the new mantra among the responsible people who are worried about themselves and their families. Large supply chains have a greater chance of transmitting diseases. Small shops also need our business to survive this catastrophe.

These small shops are also trying very hard to follow all CDC recommendations regarding protective gear and social distancing.
