the increased focus on career breaks creates an outstanding opportunity to remove the stigma from them. Just because someone has taken a break does not mean they are lazy or that their skills are stagnating. Indeed, many people who take a career break are working just as hard, if not harder, as before and are gaining new skills that can serve them well when they reenter the workforce.

Career Breaks Are Okay Now

<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/business/talent/blog/product-tips/linkedin-members-spotlight-career-breaks-on-profiles">LinkedIn</a>, recognizing the value of giving these workers every chance to regain employment, recently added a feature allowing its users to add career breaks to their résumé. So now, instead of having an employment gap that raises questions with prospective employers, LinkedIn users can make the most of their break, showing employers how it helped increase their value. It’s a good solution for all involved.

The Stamp Of Professionals

Career breaks are starting to become the norm. <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/business/talent/blog/product-tips/linkedin-members-spotlight-career-breaks-on-profiles">62% of all employees worldwide</a> have taken a career break, and 64% of women have done so. Most people associate career breaks with either women who leave their employer to have children and care for them or younger workers who head off into the world for a gap year, but there are <a href="https://news.linkedin.com/2022/march/new-way-to-represent-career-breaks-on-linkedin">many other reasons</a> employees take time away, including parental leave (22%), medical leave (17%), and mental health reasons (14%).

Breaks Are Commonplace but Not so Commonly Accepted

The power dynamic on breaks is shifting, especially as the number of people with breaks on their résumé increases. The shift in the workforce toward millennials and younger generations is also forcing employers to reconsider their positions on career breaks. The vast majority of millennials (84%) expect to take an extended career break at some point in their life.In the future, it will be increasingly difficult for employers to find potential hires who have not had a break.

The Future Is Full Of Career Breaks

Just because an employee leaves the workforce temporarily does not mean that they are not developing relevant skills. Of those who returned to the workforce, 53% say they are better at their job after taking a break. 50% of hiring managers believe people returning from a career break have often gained valuable soft skills, and 51% believe workers who take breaks can restart their career any time.

Making the Most of Career Breaks

Some skill sets built during a break are harder to sell than others. Hard skills, such as solving healthcare issues for family members, is a chore that requires creative thinking and brainstorming. Employees may have to juggle mortgage payments, <a href="https://www.earnest.com/blog/student-loan-consolidation/">student loan payments</a>, and the added medical and living costs for family members, teaching them how to optimize spending. And when employees have to unexpectedly take in a family member, they must become logistics and budgeting experts—critical skills for many employers.

Career Break Reasons That Cannot Be Sold To Employers

Those who take breaks for caregiving reasons, whether for children or ailing family members, often cite increased patience and self-awareness as benefits of their time away. These <a href="https://www.fastcompany.com/90704279/eager-to-boost-your-teams-soft-skills-focus-on-this">soft skills</a> can be more difficult to translate into benefits for employers, even though they are undoubtedly important for both team building and effective management. Yet, for employees to showcase these skills, employers must get past the career break stigma.

Caring For Family

The pandemic and the ensuing Great Resignation <a href="https://www.fastcompany.com/90730449/the-second-year-of-the-pandemic-messed-with-you-more-than-you-realize">shined a spotlight</a> on workers’ legitimate needs and desires for a career break. In fact, 69% of people who took a break say the time away helped them gain perspective, and 68% say taking a break positively impacted their well-being. It’s time for employers and employees alike to change their perception of breaks. By offering certain profile features and sharing research, platforms like LinkedIn are making it easier for employees to include their new career-break skills and attract employers.

The Bottom Line

LinkedIn research shows a break in your career journey is no longer something to hide or speak vaguely about.

Taking a career hiatus is now perfectly okay

Emotional things happen at work every day. When faced with overbearing bosses, annoying colleagues, or comments that derail us, it’s not always easy to maintain our calm and composure. But showing poise in the face of difficult situations is an important skill to develop your executive presence. Should you find yourself suddenly set off at work, try one or more of these strategies to regain your calm.

Triggered At Work

When you’re in fight-or-flight mode, your breathing becomes irregular, fast, short, and shallow. Regulating it can be your first line of defense. Lengthen your exhales and focus on breathing from your belly. Inhale for a count of four and exhale for a count of eight. This slows down your heartbeat, stabilizes your blood pressure, and encourages full oxygen exchange, which is critical to the brain’s ability to function.

Take Deep Breaths

Do something to take the attention away from your strong emotion temporarily. Focus on another sensation in your body, such as the feeling of your weight pressing into your seat, wiggling each toe individually, or lightly rubbing your fingertips together to see if you can feel the ridges of your fingerprints.

Distract Yourself

Research shows that putting your feelings into words, or emotional labelling, can quickly reduce their grip on you and lessen your physiological distress. When you feel that emotional rush in a meeting, ask yourself, “What are two or three words that describe how I feel right now?”

Use Your Words

After the moment has passed, and when you have more time, process your feelings more fully alone or with someone you trust to determine the relative costs and benefits of expressing them. This will help you decide whether to share them more widely — either with your manager or with the person who triggered you.

Process Your Feelings

The above strategies will help you break free from an amygdala hijack and increase activation of your prefrontal cortex. But there may also be times, particularly in team meetings, when you’ll need to respond right away and won’t have a private moment to collect yourself.To prepare for these situations, come up with a couple of go-to lines that will allow you to quickly respond and buy yourself more time.

Be Ready with A Script

How to Quickly Calm Down When You Get Triggered at Work

Motivation is something that comes and goes as it pleases. This means that waiting for motivation to strike to start working on something will result in very unreliable and inconsistent work habits.

Don't wait for motivation to find you

The way around this barrier is to utilise the motivation loop. This is a infinite loop which consists of -ACTION-INSPIRATION-MOTIVATION- in a continuous circle. To take advantage of this loop you need to take action (even when the motivation to do so isn't there) which, as per the loop, will then lead to inspiration then motivation and so on.

Find motivation yourself

Do the hard work... especially when you don't feel like it

Acting in this way will drastically improve feelings of motivation in your life and in doing so will allow you to work not only longer and at a better standard but you will also feel more satisfied about yourself and your work

Benefits of Acting Prior to Motivation

Using this method I am able to reach my goals/ things I want in life much faster due to one less thing holding me back

One of the most integral parts of a manager’s job is providing performance feedback and holding people accountable. So much so that it can’t be abdicated or delegated to someone else. And yet, managers often avoid these types of conversations. Just the prospect of giving feedback on another person’s performance <a href="https://www.strategy-business.com/article/Using-Neuroscience-to-Make-Feedback-Work-and-Feel-Better">triggers an immediate increase in heart rate</a>—a sign the body is going into “fight-or-flight” mode.The resulting anxiety can be especially stressful when the intended recipient of feedback is more knowledgeable and experienced than the person giving it.

The Anxiety In Giving Feedback

To avoid the emotional buildup to delivering feedback in situations where you’re leading a team of experts, it helps to address the elephant in the room from the moment you join the team. Rather than letting your insecurities lead you to pretend to have more knowledge than you do, acknowledge your senior team members’ experience and expertise upfront and ask for their help in bringing you up to speed.

Set Expectations from The Start

Create clarity around your expectations and check on your individual team members’ capabilities to meet them, before agreeing on milestones and what success on a given project or initiative looks like. Let them know that you’ll be providing regular feedback along the way so people know where they stand in terms of their performance, and that you’ll be asking for theirs as well, to learn how you can be more helpful in supporting them.

Clarity Of Expectations

We can reduce the intensity of negative emotions by using science-backed emotion regulation strategies to intervene in the four-step process that generally gives rise to emotions such as fear, anger, and sadness.  The process starts with a situation—real or imagined. One strategy to keep your anxiety in check at this stage of the emotion generation process would be situation avoidance.

Short-Circuit Your Emotions: 1. Situation Avoidance

The second step is the attention paid to a particular, often threatening aspect of a situation. The intervention strategy in this step of the emotion generation process would involve intentionally changing your focus, and instead of ruminating about something negative that might happen, focusing instead on positive aspects, such as a feedback recipient’s leadership potential or the value they contribute to the team and the organization.

2. Changing Your Focus

The third step is what called appraisal. So when we would think of providing negative feedback (the situation), and focused (attention) on what we expected would be strongly negative reactions by our team, the meaning (appraisal) we assigned to providing feedback was that our team would resent our “incompetence” and hate working for us.

3. Appraisal

Our appraisal of a situation then leads to the fourth step in the emotion-generation process, the emotional response.After gaining insight into the neurological process by which our anxieties were generated, We learned We could take control and change the meaning We assigned to the act of providing feedback, rather than defaulting to the automatic assumption our brain made that our team would resent us.

4. The Emotional Response

Just the prospect of giving feedback on another person’s performance can set your heart racing, especially when the intended recipient is more knowledgeable and experienced than the person giving it.

Salary negotiation is an important part of the interview process. You risk losing if you don't ask for more. Even if you don't think you have leverage, you should still negotiate.

Negotiating a salary in the interview process

It can be nerve-racking to negotiate your salary if you’re a recent graduate or someone who wants to change careers. It's common practice for companies to lowball initial offers because they expect jobseekers to negotiate. Not negotiating your starting salary can set you back more than $500,000 by the time you reach 60.

Negotiating when you don't have much experience

<ul><li>Talk to members of professional associations of your target industry. Use Glassdoor and Google to find the market value of your position.</li><li>Take a deep dive into the specifics of the position to reveal a range of leveraging options.</li><li>Use the STAR method to highlight your experience - situation or task, action, and result. Describe the situation, the action you took and the result.</li><li>Show your knowledge of industry trends if you lack experience in the industry.</li><li>Identify possible biases ahead of time and find a way around them, including inexperience.</li><li>Do a practice run in low-stake situations.</li></ul>

Steps to put yourself in a strong position

<ul><li>You break the silence too soon. Employers use silence as a negotiating tool. Instead of backpedalling, use the silence in your favour.</li><li>You ask for a salary that reflects your lifestyle, not facts. Most employers work within salary guidelines set by the company for entry-level positions, not by your lifestyle expenses.</li><li>You accept a low salary without negotiating.  if you do that, you’ll likely be underpaid as long as you stay at that company. </li><li>You think of salary negotiation as a take-it-or-leave-it scenario. You could ask for a review and salary adjustment based on your performance.</li></ul>

Mistakes to avoid

Salary negotiation is a conversation, not a battle. Here are a few tricks to keep in mind.<ul><li>Never accept a verbal offer. Ask for an opportunity to review everything in writing.</li><li>Do your research on pay parity.</li><li>Figure out what you need to be successful–and ask for it. Get as much information as you can about the role you’re up for. If you can understand what you’ll be doing upfront, you’ll be able to negotiate different things.</li><li>Get creative with benefits. Many companies have flexed out their compensation packages to get the best employees.</li></ul>

Essentials in any salary negotiation

During the interview process, it’s important to not only negotiate your salary but your benefits.

How to negotiate your salary for any job

<ol><li>When you save part of your income (even if you have a low income), it helps you build up your wealth.</li><li>When you invest your money, it will multiply so you have more of it.</li><li>Leverage the advice of financial experts if you need to when investing your money for more security.</li><li>Don’t rush headlong into an investment you know nothing about! It’s just asking for trouble.</li><li>Don’t fall for get-rich-quick schemes or scams. You’ll lose your money.</li></ol>

The Five Laws Of Gold

<ul><li>Set aside 10% of your income for you!</li><li>You can use that other 90% to pay bills and other expenses. But that 10% is specifically for you to save and invest later on.</li><li>It seems small at first, but gradually, you’ll start to have a good amount set aside.</li></ul>

1. Start Thy Purse To Fattening - Start Earning

If you’re not in debt:<ul><li>Set aside 10% of your income before anything else; and</li><li>Live on the 90% that’s left.</li></ul>If you are in debt:<ul><li>Set aside 10% of your income before anything else;</li><li>Repay your creditors with 20%; and</li><li>Live on the 70% that’s left.</li></ul>

<ul><li>On to the subject of thrift - when you have extra money, it’s tempting to splurge and buy fancy things. But don’t! Make sure to live within your means and only take on necessary expenses.</li><li>Arkad says: “What we call ‘necessary expenses’ will always grow to equal our incomes unless we protest to the contrary.”</li></ul>

2. Control Thy Expenditures - Spend Less Than You Earn

<ul>
<li>Make a list of all your outgoing expenses.</li>
<li>Think very carefully about what’s strictly necessary and what’s just a luxury.</li>
<li>Cut back on things you can live without.</li>
<li>Be very wary of developing expensive habits.</li>
</ul>

Never Live Beyond Your Means

<ul><li>Now that you have some money set aside, it’s time to put it to work. When you invest your cash, it can reproduce and bring you a steady stream of income and personal wealth!</li><li>Arkad’s philosophy is that “you make your gold have children, who can then also work for you.”</li><li>In our modern world, this might be loaning money out or getting interest from a savings account or stocks or crypto or gold.</li></ul>

3. Make Thy Gold Multiply - Invest

<ol><li>You should surround yourself with people who want, understand and make lots of money.</li><li>You should only seek financial advice from the very best experts in the field. Don’t take advice from your family, friends or colleagues.</li><li>You should stick to the plan. Don’t underestimate the power of compounding. Trust what you know, not what you see. Let time take care of the rest.</li></ol>

How Can I Make Money Multiply?

“Advice is one thing that is freely given away, but watch that you only take what is worth having.”

<ul><li>Arkad warns us that there is no way to make massive amounts of money overnight. Instead, it takes time, effort, and knowledge.</li><li>And when you are ready to invest, make sure to start small. You need to learn to secure smaller amounts until you can handle larger ones.</li><li>Arkad praises the ability to reclaim your money when you need it back in a hurry.</li><li>Study before making an investment so you can be sure it is a wise one.</li><li>You won’t get rich overnight… but you will get rich eventually.</li></ul>

4. Guard Thy Treasures From Loss  - Diversify / Insure

<ul><li>Don’t get into debt.</li><li>Don’t help people in ways that mean you take on their financial burdens.</li><li>Don’t lend money to others without taking some guarantee of repayment.</li><li>Don’t forget to protect your income and assets with diversification and insurance.</li><li>Don’t invest in things you don’t fully understand.</li><li>Don’t get sucked into get rich quick schemes.</li><li>Don’t put your money in investments which don’t pay out dividends (i.e., cash).</li></ul>

Common Traps We Should Avoid

<ul><li>Arkad tells us that “every man should own the roof that sheltereth him and his.” That’s because it can reduce your cost of living and make more money available for your desires.</li><li>Instead of just throwing your money away on rent, you’ll be building equity in an investment. And can pay off big when planning for future income.</li></ul>

5. Thy Dwelling A Profitable Investment - Own Your House

<ul><li>Arkad recommends planning for retirement in advance to ensure your treasures and protect your family. Naturally, having a savings account or retirement pension with a lot of money saved up is great.</li><li>But you can also rent out the properties that you bought earlier in life. Either way, coming up with a plan now should ensure you’ll be comfortable when you’re older.</li></ul>

6. Insure A Future Income - Plan For Retirement

<ul><li>Want to earn more? Develop your mindset and your skills! The more wisdom you have, the more you can earn.</li><li>Choose knowledge over gold — a bag of books over bag of money.</li><li>Doing all of these things can help you become a better investor and increase your ability to earn. Whatever you do, start small. Eventually, you can go bigger as you learn and become more capable.</li></ul>

Gold lender Mathon’s advice on lending ,When lending, only lend to those you trust, who are knowledgeable in their field and have the means to repay. If possible, you should even consider taking some collateral worth the value of the loan. This winning combination of factors ensures you’ll get your money back eventually.The moral : It’s better to have a little caution than a great regret.

Story-3 : The Camel Trader Of Babylon

Sharru Nada was a slave working for a baker, where he made extra pastries and shared the money with his master. He wanted to work hard so he could buy back his freedom.Unfortunately, his master gambled all his money, so Sharru was sold again and almost condemned to a hard labor life before his friend purchased him. His friend was able to do this because Sharru taught him about the value of hard work.The moral : Hard work can be your best friend in times of distress and help you achieve many things.

Passion gives happiness but not everyone can have the golden chance to follow their own passion.

Carrier is more important than spending time in degree, I actually believe that not degree is everything. You can do a lot without a degree so it's what I think but not our society. People think that a piece of paper indicates what your skill is and how intelligent you are. In my honest opinion, if you think that you should opt for something else for building your career rather than having a degree, then go ahead. Because in the upcoming years skills matter the most if you have something new then only you are highlighted.

3. Giving priority to career rather than degree

It's better to leave a relationship that makes you stressed and where you are ignored. A relationship where your views and words don't matter is similar to hell or a cage. So it's better to stay alone rather than making your self respect go down, leave it not because they are bad but because they don't deserve you.

4. Leaving relationship

No body is goona with you till the end of your life except yourselfMake yourself feel better, give yourself more priority love yourself and encourage yourself to live a happy life.Don't waste your feelings and emotions for someone who doesn't care you. Spend some time with yourself because self care is important.

Key Takeaways From The Book

How you treat people means everything – whether they will trust you, build relationships with you, follow you, support you and work hard for you, or not.Rudeness is on the rise. In the “Civility in America 2016” survey, 95% of respondents said “incivility” is a major problem in the United States. Workplace incivility takes many forms: making calls or texting during meetings, yelling at employees, belittling or heckling subordinates, taking credit for someone else’s work or ideas, and undermining other people’s efforts. Often, people are uncivil when they’re tired or stressed.

Civility Vs Incivility: Rudeness On The Rise

To make the greatest impact in your business and to get the most out of your career, choose the path of respectfulness over rudeness.Globalization brings people from different cultures into contact with one another. What is seen as acceptable in one culture may be perceived as rude in another. Remote work and other arrangements put pressure on office relationships. Increased workloads cause stress and make people feel overwhelmed, causing them to lash out. Some employees mimic their leaders’ and co-workers’ behavior.

Rudeness Vs Respectfulness

The typical reaction to incivility is stress, which can trigger health problems and can result in more instances of abrupt or rude behavior. Rudeness also extracts a psychological toll. When someone treats people meanly at work, they lose concentration and their performance suffers. They become less creative, have more difficulty making decisions, and have trouble processing or recalling information.

Incivility Carries Heavy Costs, But Civility Pays Big Dividends

People misread texts and emails, because the written notes lack the nuance of face-to-face and phone interactions.Often, people are uncivil when they’re tired or stressed. Generally, they’re not aware of how their actions affect others. Yet, unintentional rudeness is also destructive. When someone feels hurt, it doesn’t matter if the precipitating behavior wasn’t deliberate.

Unintentional Rudeness

People don’t easily recover from the negative effect of rudeness.Even low-intensity events or single incidents can diminish their focus and cognitive abilities.On the flip side, feeling genuinely appreciated lifts people up. It energizes. It’s also a powerful tool for encouraging the right behaviors.

People Are People: Emotional Torture Vs Emotional Rescue

Workplace relationship problems have significant costs for employers in the form of lost productivity, absenteeism and turnover. Dealing with incivility takes an average 13% of managers’ time as they work to mend relationships and deal with the aftermath of crass behavior. Rudeness causes recipients to be less likely to welcome feedback or initiate interactions. Their willingness to help others or share information drops significantly. Experiencing rudeness can trigger negative or aggressive thoughts, although victims may not understand the association.

Lost Productivity

Behaving politely toward others conveys respect and regard. It lifts people up. A smile, a cheerful greeting and a compliment make people feel valued and appreciated. When a leader treats employees in a respectful way, the leaders’ status increases along with the employees’ motivation. People work harder for warm, approachable bosses they respect and admire.You have more control than you think. Your attitude, mind-set and willfulness can make all the difference.

Civility Pays Off

Civility helps people succeed. People enjoy collaborating with someone who is cooperative and respectful. Seeking people’s input, listening to their ideas, thanking them for their efforts and sharing credit with them increases productivity. Team members feel safe in a civil environment, which frees them to take risks and offer suggestions. Civility spreads just as pervasively as incivility since people reciprocate behavior

A Catalyst In Success

How civil are you? Examine yourself about a range of behaviors, from positive, such as saying please and thank you, to negative, such as texting or using email during meetings, interrupting, blaming others, spreading rumors, ignoring invitations, making snide remarks, or failing to listen.
