There are 7 key areas where we all need to pay attention to become highly effective. Having read this deepstash article , you will learn to:• Choose to be proactive rather than reactive•Visualize the end of an endeavor before undertaking it•Schedule your priorities instead of prioritizing your schedule•Seek what is beneficial for everyone involved•Try to understand others first so that they can understand you•Work with others to achieve exponential results•Keep an effective system runningQUOTECharacter change is more sustainable than behavioral change.

The easiest way to improve your personal and professional life 

QUOTE1. A Paradigm is a pattern we apply to explaining certain phenomena.Our set of paradigms determines our character. Our paradigms can spell the difference between success and failure in business and relationships. A paradigm shift occurs when we begin to question our set behaviors and attitudes and start changing them gradually. QUOTE 2. Our paradigms, correct or incorrect, are the sources of our attitudes and behaviors, and ultimately our relationships with others. ~ Stephen R. Covey

 Journey toward lasting change begins with a change in Paradigms

QUOTE Being proactive means that you take responsibility for your actions rather than blame your entire life on external circumstances.Proactive people believe their mood or behavior is a function of their internal engineering. Rather than blame others for failure, they seek the way forward. They view life in terms of 2 concentric circles:•CIRCLE OF CONCERN•CIRCLE OF INFLUENCE The circle of concern is filled with the things we worry about: the bills we need to pay, the loans we need to refund,etc. This circle is quite big.Inside this circle is a smaller circle called the circle of influence.

Exercise Your capacity for proactivity rather than reaction 

We do things twice. First, we conceive an idea in our minds and then execute it in the real world.To win, you must visualize what winning means and then implement it. QUOTE Proper planning is the key to the impeccable execution of any worthwhile goal. Create time for visualization. Write down your end goals and itemize the steps that you would take to reach them. Before you begin, look at the end.

Create precise mental pictures and flawless mission statement

Once you have that sense of mission, you have the essence of your own proactivity. You have the vision and the values which direct your life.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

When it comes to privacy and accountability, people always demand the former for themselves and the latter for everyone else.

Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.

To be accountable means that we are willing to be responsible to another person for our behavior and it implies a level of submission to another's opinions and viewpoints.

Share your knowledge.It’s a way to achieve immortality.

Knowledge Transfer is the practice of uploading and downloading information, skills, and tools from one part of your business or team member to another. It’s a critical component of organizational success.Many factors can affect knowledge transfer in a workplace. Knowledge is transferred when a worker leaves the company and must be replaced, a new employee begins in a company, or when an employee moves departments.The knowledge that is being transferred can consist of any information that has been learned by an individual through their developmental history.

Micro-Learning Strategies for Effective Knowledge Transfer

Have your A-Players document their work process and share their success formula with the rest of the team.They can pump up motivation to other team members who also wanted to perform at their peak. It can never offend someone who is striving to get better so don't mind those workers who are naysayers.

Model High Achievers by Showing their Work

Once you document your team's best ideas and workflows organize them in a knowledge base that new team members can easily access.Embed this work practice in your work culture by modeling and rewarding excellence. When a manager is able to clearly see what tasks an employee has completed, they are better able to provide constructive feedback and guidance. This not only improves efficiency but also overall morale. Managers who effectively manage their employees can see the benefit of this system.

Document and Organise Process

Microlearning enables managers to implement a learning plan with speed and urgency.]This style of learning allows workers to keep up with new information without requiring an entire day to be set aside for it. The overwhelming amount of information available today means that we need to cultivate ways of coping with this vast amount. Microlearning does the trick!

Identify critical skill gaps, then plugin the training content

Let Managers quickly put together highly relevant and useful content for their teams' individual training needs.There is no one size fits all approach in teaching, not even in class. Humans tend to learn in their own way and in their own phase, we cannot easily transfer knowledge the way we did with another employee expecting others will receive your information the same.

Tailor Fit Content to Specific Training Needs

Most Training Course Facilitators are experts at delivering content in engaging, interactive ways and large conferences feature experts on top of their field.Webinars can work but People tend to collaborate and interact more in a conference while mingling with other participants.This is a great way to socialize and expand their network while learning from the top resource in your companies industry.

Register your team for learning Events

Sites like Linkedin Learning, Udemy, and Skillshare are some of the more popular learning platforms for students and professionals alike. The good thing about the online learning platform is that you get world-standard course content.Face to Face interaction is vital for one learning but some people like to do it alone and in a world today? Online is the go-to medium of most of the employees, especially in learning.

Subscribe to an online learning Platform

They can help organizations not to get stuck on what they know and will make the teaching of newbies seamless in their organization.

Knowledge transfer might be the next big thing for your business to thrive in this information technology revolution.

The goal of product design is to get something done. The faster it takes to get something done, the better the design. Products can be more than just performing a certain function or look a certain way. They can offer us a new perspective on how we view the world.

The app Notion is designed to be modular and adaptable to your needs. It manages all of your notes, tasks, and thoughts- one or many, many things. Each of the ideas and projects you work on is connected with everything else in some way.

Modular and Adaptable

Notion makes it easy to start any kind of project, write any kind of document, organize your life however you want. You can even import the code from another word processor, or customize Notion. Every feature is designed toward letting you do this. You can turn your journal into a novel or research paper.

Organize your life

I love trying out apps. I was looking for a holistic approach to getting work done. Before using Notion, I used Trello, Google Keep, Google Drive, OneDrive, Evernote, Dropbox and so many other apps to bring my life together all in one place. Notion moves all of that into a single app. I love it and can’t imagine ever using another task manager.

I am an app freak

Notion is the main tool I use for all my projects. I use it for blogging, for managing tasks, for content planning, to write notes, to make checklists… you get the point. It’s great because of its flexibility. Notion doesn’t try to fit your content into pre-designed boxes. Instead, it encourages you to use your own words, your own ideas to design your project the way that works best for you.

All in one Tool

More than 150 pages on Notion. The book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Winning-Pricing-Strategy-ideal-market-ebook/dp/B09HMZCTXK/ref=sr_1_1?qid=1637531941&refinements=p_27%3AAde&s=books&sr=1-1">“Winning Pricing Strategy”</a> is currently on <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Winning-Pricing-Strategy-ideal-market-ebook/dp/B09HMZCTXK/ref=sr_1_1?qid=1637531941&refinements=p_27%3AAde&s=books&sr=1-1">Amazon</a>.Disclaimer: Notion probably won’t read this.

As a leader, how do you do the hard things that come with taking on the responsibility of leadership, while remaining a good human being? This is an eternal conundrum for all leaders. Most of us think we have to make a difficult, binary choice between being a good person or being a tough, effective leader. This is a false dichotomy. Being human and making hard leadership decisions are not mutually exclusive. In truth, doing hard things is often the most human thing to do. There are two key ingredients: wisdom and compassion.

The Eternal Conundrum: Am I A Leader Or A Good Person?

A Harvard Business Review article, introduces <a href="https://hbr.org/2020/12/compassionate-leadership-is-necessary-but-not-sufficient">the concept of wise compassionate leadership </a>, with wisdom defined as a deep understanding of what motivates people and the courage to be transparent and to do what needs to be done, even when it is uncomfortable; and compassion as the quality of showing genuine care and concern for others, with a positive intention to support and help.

The Concept Of Wise Compassionate Leadership

HBR’s study of leaders and employees from more than 5,000 companies in nearly 100 countries has shown the extraordinary power of wisdom and compassion. Employees with leaders who show either wisdom or compassion have net positive experiences across the board. They enjoy and are engaged with their jobs and are less likely to burn out.

The Parts Are Great Alone. 

But, when a leader demonstrates both wisdom and compassion, the impact on employee wellness and productivity is striking. Job satisfaction is 86% higher for an employee who works for a wise and compassionate leader than an employee who does not. In this case, the sum is much greater than the parts.

But Their Sum Is Much Greater Than Them. 

Not surprisingly, however, actually leading with this combination of wisdom and compassion isn’t easy. It takes learning and practice. The first big step is to unlearn what you might think “leadership” means and to relearn what it means to be human.Very simply put, management is about managing others, about exercising executive control over people. Leadership, on the other hand, is about seeing and hearing others, setting a direction, and then letting go of controlling what happens next.

The First Step To Leading With Wisdom And Compassion

“If you start to think about what our role is as leaders, it’s actually quite simple,” Chris Toth, CEO of the medical device company Varian, told HBR. “Our role is not to be the ones who make the decision or to be the smartest person in the room. In fact, it can be exceptionally dangerous if the decision-making always goes to the leader. Instead, you must create a culture of compassion and empowerment that is accepting of diverse perspectives. This unlocks people’s creativity, productivity and happiness.”

Welcome, Foster, Then Set Free

To foster this type of leadership approach, it is critical for leaders to acknowledge that we are not our job titles: we are human beings, wanting to connect on a human level with other people. Here are four ways to bring more humanity to your leadership.

4 Ways To Bring More Humanity To Your Leadership

Compassion, at its root, is a desire to see others happy and a readiness to take action to help it happen. This is basically an expression of the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. The Golden Rule is a helpful step for putting wise compassion in action since it requires the consideration of another person’s point of view.

1. Remember the Golden Rule

When we are able to put ourselves in the other person’s shoes, we can take a fresh look at a challenging situation. We can take a moment to recognize that we have one view of the situation, but things may, and probably do, look very different from another person’s perspective. Although putting yourself in another person’s shoes is good for reflection, it is important to avoid thinking you know what the other person is feeling or experiencing. We need to balance putting ourselves in someone else’s shoes with not assuming we understand their reality, which requires good listening.

… But First Make Sure You Don’t Misunderstand It

We have two ears but only one mouth. This means we can—and should—listen twice as much as we speak. When you <a href="https://hbr.org/2016/07/what-great-listeners-actually-do">truly listen to others </a>, they feel heard and seen, which satisfies one of our primary needs as humans.

2. Listen intently.

If you have an important conversation coming up, take extra time to prepare. This can mean establishing the right kind of environment so that you can be fully present or setting an intention to really hear and feel what the other person wants and feels versus focusing on fixing a problem.

… And Set Up Both The Environment And Yourself To Do So

A Chinese proverb says, “There is no way to compassion; compassion is the way.” Asking how you can be of benefit to others, though, is a “way to compassion.” Whenever you are about to engage with someone, take a moment to reflect on what might be going on for this person. What is challenging or going well? And then ask yourself: what support might they need to overcome their struggles? What nudge might they need to gain more self-awareness about their blind spots that are creating difficulties? These questions will help to create a more human interaction focused on their growth and development

3. Ask yourself “How can I be of benefit?”

A good leader values who we are today but also challenges us to stretch ourselves and do better to realize more of our true potential. This is not easy. When someone is already doing well, pushing them to do better can be discouraging and demotivating. But leadership is not about trying to please people and make them feel content and at ease. Leadership is about supporting people by shining a light on things they may not want to face. Instead of shying away from these uncomfortable conversations, try to view your role to stretch people as an indication of true care for them.

4. Stretch people to see their potential

When we practice wise compassion, we can create a culture in which others increase their focus on real human connections. As leaders, we should never underestimate the impact we have on people. We have the power to control their livelihood. We have power over the work they do. And we have power over how they feel treated. This is a huge responsibility. This makes it of the utmost importance to do the hard work of leadership in a human way, so that we can be more successful in positively impacting people’s work experience, their sense of commitment, and their job performance.

Do The Hard Work Of Leadership In A Human Way

Leaders always have, looming over their heads, about to crash down upon them, the words “hard”, “tough”, sometimes even “inhuman”. But, doing hard things, is often the most human thing to do. 

You can be both effective and compassionate.

How to Be Both an Effective Leader and a Good Person

Everyone knows that success at work depends on being—and being seen as—both competent and likable. You need people to notice your growth and accomplishments while also enjoying your company. But if you draw attention to the value you’ve created, to ensure that managers and peers recognize it, you risk coming across as a shameless self-promoter. No one likes a braggart. In this article the author explains how to highlight your accomplishments at work without having it backfire.

Art of Self Promotion

Drawing from a fascinating strain of laboratory research, she advises against several popular tactics such as “humblebragging” and “boomerasking” (asking a question in the hope it will be reciprocated so that you can bring up your own accomplishments). The trick is to know when to talk about our achievements and when not to do so. That calls for maturity, judgment, and a degree of spontaneity. Here are some tips given by the author. Author Leslie K. John is a professor of business administration at Harvard Business School.

Humility is admirable. But if someone requests information or an answer that requires you to reveal positives about yourself, you should oblige. Most of the time people in this category earn recognition through consistent performance.Eg: What are your strengths?How did you finish the task quickly?In such situations, being humble would downplay us when not answered. Let questions arise organically, and when you see opportunities to highlight your successes, make the most of them.

Share when asked

Research indicates that in situations where others share too, people can successfully convey their accomplishments without coming across as unlikable, egotistical, or inconsiderate.Sharing something personal often triggers a reciprocation. Based on the research conducted by the author, bragging seems to dissipate when others in the room are engaging in self promotion. In another job interview study, people who took time to outline their strengths, experience, and achievements were more likely to be rated by their interviewers as suitable for the job and of greater interest to the organization.

Share when others are sharing

You can find intermediaries, including peers, bosses, mentors, and sponsors, who will be happy to speak up on your behalf—as long as you are respectful in your solicitation. We must also remember that when we praise and endorse others consistently, others are bound to praise us. Reciprocity is one of the key principles on which the world runs. If someone unexpectedly compliments you publicly, resist the instinct to humbly downplay it; a smile or a simple “Thank you” will suffice.

Find a promotor

Research indicates that when people present a balanced picture of themselves, rather than discussing only successes, they come across as more credible and affable. Those with high positions, in particular, should acknowledge failures and foibles as well as achievements, not only because such candor is laudable, but also because it makes them less likely to come across as brash, unlikable, and worthy of envy.

Strike a balance

We all want our achievements to be recognized and applauded. It’s a boost to morale and well-being. And there are ways to celebrate without coming across as boastful. One is to find a circle of close friends at work and outside it who will cheer your victories as if they were their own. Research shows that telling confidants about your successes can improve those relationships. The reverse is also true

Celebrate the right way

Knowing how and when to boast—and when to refrain—is one important way to advance your career. I personally feel, bring humble is a culture thing or even genetic behaviour, every habit can be cultivated, practiced and nurtured. Deeper self-reflection could bring you far more personal benefit than self-promotion ever will.Your thoughts?

Every presentation is an opportunity to build trust with your audience. The cohesiveness of your group presentation is an indicator to your clients of what their relationship will be like working with you.
For many organizations, group presentations are a part of life. Your team may deliver a group pitch to a new client, or perhaps the capstone exercise of your leadership development program includes a series of group presentations to the head of your business unit.

An Opportunity To Build Trust

<ul>
<li>Each slide looks like it was designed by a different person.</li>
<li>Presenters talk over one another.</li>
<li>Forgetting that you are “on.” even after your turn is over.</li>
</ul>

Three Missteps found in Group Presentations

When you add a group presentation to your calendar, block off time to prepare as a group. Use this time to agree on your audience’s level of knowledge about the topic, your specific goal for the presentation, the main message, the general outline and who will present each section before each of you starts writing your individual components.
This helps you avoid the last-minute stress of trying to fit each of your slides into one cohesive unit.

Best Practices: Strategizing In Advance

Before the presentation, make time for a complete run-through, with slides. 
Specifically, practice your transitions from one person to the next: For example, " Stacey did a great job talking us through the challenges of entering this new market. Now, I’ll provide a few solutions based on our firm’s expertise."
Use a timer to ensure you are keeping to the allotted time, or set a realistic time limit based on the format of your meeting, so you ensure plenty of time to field questions.

Best Practices: Group Rehearsals

When speaking in person, position yourself so that you can reference the slides but speak directly to the audience. 
Bring your own personality to the presentation. Personal anecdotes that connect to the audience are a terrific way to build trust between the audience and each member of the group presenting.

Best Practices: Deliver With Confidence And Authenticity

When you grow up, you tend to get told that the world is the way it is and your life is just to live your life inside the world. Try not to bash into the walls too much. Try to have a nice family life, have fun, save money. That’s a very LIMITED LIFE. Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact. THAT IS—EVERYTHING AROUND YOU THAT YOU CALL LIFE WAS MADE UP BY PEOPLE NO SMARTER THAN YOU. And you can change it. You can influence it. . . . Once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again.

SimpleThere’s no point dwelling in the past and letting it define you, nor in getting lost in anxiety about the future. In the present moment, you’re in the field of possibility. How you engage with the present moment will direct your life. This is Bending Reality.Think of happiness in the now and vision for the future as two ingredients that can be combined, but that have to be in balance. Too much of one or the other creates imbalance and limitation. Depending on how they’re combined, at any moment in life, we can be in one of four different states of mind.

WHAT IS THE IDEA OF 'BENDING REALITY'?

BENDING REALITY: This is the ideal state where you’re happy in the now, and you have a vision for the future that drives you. Your vision pulls you forward, but you’re happy now—despite not having yet attained that vision. When you’re in this state, there’s a feeling of growth and enjoyment. It’s about the journey as well as the destination. An interesting observation about this state is that it often seems as if the universe “has your back"!

SO THE DEFINITION OF BENDING REALITY IS

Because I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you’ll be a happy man

Call it what you want—but it starts to feel as if you’re lucky. The right opportunities, ideas, and people seem to gravitate to you. It’s as if your happiness is rocket fuel moving you toward your vision.

Law 1: Transcend the Culturescape: Choose the ideas and values selectively yourselfLaw 2: Question the Brules: Also called the Bull S**t rules that no longer work out for you.Maybe there are certain rules which no longer work out for you in the present. Just like how your computer software needs an update every time...The rules that you've been following need to update too!

AND HERE'S THE LAWS

<ul><li>The first is to spend time with people who are good for your mental health.</li><li>The second is to CHOOSE to see the good, the lesson, or the blessing in everything.</li><li>The third is to LIVE YOUR WAY. Follow your intuition and not feel guilty for doing things your own way.</li><li>Fourth is to take care of yourself. Your physical, mental and spiritual health.</li><li>And finally the fifth is to Believe, trust, and let go.</li></ul>

5 simple tips to bring more happiness into your life.

And the 6 phases are1. Compassion: Imagine an expanding bubble of compassion surrounding you and let this bubble expand slowly from your room where you are sitting to throughout the universe.2. Gratitude: Ponder of the things you are grateful for.3. Forgiveness (Happiness in the now): Grudges towards yourself or someone? Imagine that person right in front of you and tell them that you've forgiven them and ask the same from their side as well. You can imagine giving them a hug too!

THE 6 PHASE MEDITATION

4. Future dreams (A Vision for the Future): What are your dreams for the future? How do you see yourself 5 years from now?Ask yourself and imagine them.5. The Perfect Day: What is your ideal day like? What's your ideal routine for today? Imagine!6. The Blessing: And finally ask the Divine for the blessings. Try to imagine it as light showering right all over you from your head to toe.While you are meditation ponder and about all these 6 important phases of your life.You can give a minute or two for each phase.So that will be a duration of approx 6 minutes in total.

THE 6 PHASE MEDITATION (continued)

Exercise 1: What's your refresh rate in all the areas of your life?For example in your normal workout routine, you can optimize it by trying new workouts every month. This challenges you and makes your normal exercise routine even more exciting! Exercise 2: What are your setpoints and measurements for your growth?Step 1: Identify the areas of your life where you want to create setpoints.Step 2: Determine your set points.ExampleAREA: MINDFULNESSSETPOINT: RATING MYSELF FROM 1 TO 5 AS TO HOW MINDFUL I AM IN THE PRESENT. IF IT'S WITHIN THE RANGE OF 4 OR 5 THEN A GREEN SIGNAL IF NOT THEN REFLECTION

ACTION PLAN: WHAT'S YOUR REFRESH RATE?

Have big goals—but don’t tie your happiness to your goals. You must be happy before you attain them.We shouldn’t do things so we can be happy. We should be happy so we can do things.Extraordinary minds are able to bend reality. They have bold and exciting visions for the future, yet their happiness is not tied to these visions. They are happy in the now. This balance allows them to move toward their visions at a much faster rate while having a ton of fun along the way. To outsiders, they seem “lucky.”
