The BIGGEST Reasons 80% Of Relationships FAIL... | Esther Perel

<ul><li>Although we tend to think of migration as birds flying from one country to another, there are actually many animals who migrate.</li><li>Wildebeest, for example, undertake a circular migration, roaming the African plains in huge numbers during the dry season in search of fresh grass.</li><li>However, birds are the record-breakers when it comes to travel. The bar-tailed godwit has the longest recorded non-stop migration, with one individual spending almost ten days travelling from Alaska to New Zealand without a break.</li></ul>

Bird And Animal Migration

<ul><li>Migration is a costly business – birds need to carry enough fat reserves to power their flight and sustain themselves over the duration of their journey. </li><li>Getting lost could have disastrous consequences, so birds have developed incredible navigation skills(a natural GPS-like connection with Earth's magnetic fields) to help them fly the shortest and safest routes.</li><li>Some species have an innate, inherited ability to migrate, which allows them to move to areas independently to enhance their survival.</li></ul>

How Birds Find Their Way

<ul><li>Many birds undertake long-distance migrations to the UK for the summer breeding season.</li><li>Feeding birds nuts, seeds, and household scraps will help to provide some easily accessible food.</li><li>Enhancing biodiversity in your garden by creating a wildflower meadow, or taking part in no mow May - an initiative from British conservation charity, Plantlife, asking everyone to "lock up their lawnmowers and let vegetation grow during the month of May" will also be hugely beneficial</li></ul>

Why birds migrate vast distances – and how you can help during their breeding season

Steve Jobs intentionally designed a wow moment in every major product launch, using products like props in a magic show. Jobs could have simply introduced the first iPod by showing photos, but instead, he took an iPod out of a small pocket of his jeans and said: "It's like carrying 1,000 songs in your pocket." Jobs understood that the key to mesmerizing the audience is to give them something to remember.

The "wow" factor in a story

People naturally pay more attention to stories, so consider telling more of them.  At the 2005 commencement address at Stanford University, Steve Jobs told three personal stories from his life. Many people remember Jobs talking about a calligraphy course in college, despite not knowing what to use it for. Later, Jobs used that knowledge to build the Macintosh, which changed desktop publishing with its fonts.

Tell more stories

Science journalists put data into context to catch the readers' attention. But they know the reader's eyes will glaze over topics like greenhouse gas emissions if the event is not put into context. So they wrote, "The concentration of gas in the atmosphere that causes climate change is the highest it's been in 800,000 years."

Offer surprising statistics

Our brains understand metaphors. We compare unfamiliar things to things we understand. Billionaire Warren Buffet uses analogies to simplify complex financial topics. For example, he explains how he chooses winning companies by saying, "I look for economic castles protected by unbreachable moats."

Create analogies

A wow moment can be as simple as packaging content creatively to reveal a surprise. In 2007, Steve Jobs repeatedly mentioned three new products - a new iPod, a phone, and an internet communicator. Finally, he stated that it is not three devices but one device: the iPhone.

Plan surprise reveals

We remember pictures better than words. In presentations, use short videos. People likely will pay intense attention to your screen. This is known as the "picture superiority effect". If your presentation repeats the same pattern, you will lose your audience's attention. Instead, break it up with photos or videos.

This is defined as any sort of threaten or danger that can damage the good standing of your business and negatively impact your reputation with consumers and overall business success.  Such risks are usually unexpected and occur with little to no warning. All kinds of reputational risk can cause consumers and sometimes business owners to lose confidence in the business.

Reputational Risk

<ol><li>Direct actions of your company and company practices: actions included here could be by not complying with regulations, data breaches due to unsafe practices, or internal scandals that become public knowledge.</li><li>Actions of anyone who directly represent your business: employees who poorly represent your brand to others, business leaders with negative reputations, or employee misconduct</li><li>Direct actions by partners or suppliers: partners or suppliers who speak ill of your business or engaging in misconduct </li><li>External Factor: Customers: negative social media posts or negative press</li></ol>

4 Types of Reputational Risk

Listed down below are some practices that could lessen the likelihood of reputational risk scenarios:<ul><li>Prioritizing customer satisfaction</li><li>Listening to customer feedback and acting on their needs</li><li>Compliance with legal rules</li><li>Responding to online reviews and managing the conversation</li><li>Consistent monitoring of product quality</li><li>Maintaining safe work environments for employees, physically and mentally</li><li>Having and accepting that everything and anything can affect public perception of your business and has the potential to risk your reputation</li></ul>

Reputational Risk Management

Mitigating reputational risk involves lessening the blow when a threat occurs, essentially getting out in front of the problem.  Acknowledge that it is occuring and have your PR team create crisis messaging that will help your business explain what is happening to the consumers. Then, explain what you're going to do about the issue and be transparent.

Mitigating Risk Management

Reputational risk scenarios are unexpected but can significantly damage your business’ public standing. Learn what these situations are and how to handle them when they happen.

What Is Reputational Risk? [+ Real Life Examples]

In stand-up comedy, those who are successful deliver the first punchline in the first 15 seconds. The second punchline is delivered in the next 15 seconds. This earns you the right to speak for a longer duration before the next punchline.
When you're pitching an idea, don't start with information your audience already knows. Instead, throw in your teaser immediately to make them interested in listening to the rest of your pitch.

Get to the punchline as soon as possible

Don't assume that your audience has prior knowledge. If your audience doesn't understand you, you've lost them. When you're presenting, try not to speak in acronyms and jargon. For example, instead of saying NFTs, say non-fungible tokens. Ensure your audience knows what you mean before you continue.

Don’t make assumptions about your audiences’ knowledge

Think about who your audience is. Would your idea excite them or offend them? People will support your idea if it is useful, interesting, relevant, not offensive. To manage this, pitch your idea first to a mentor or senior manager. If they question something, you may need to reconsider.

Keep culture in mind

If someone in your audience has a question or objection, address it immediately. If you don't adapt quickly, they may start to doubt you or continue to think about their question for the remainder of your presentation. Neither is good. If your manager asks you a question, don't say you'll address it at the end. Instead, answer the question and then get back to your story.

Address your audiences' questions quickly

Use just enough words to get your point across and not one more. When you pitch an idea, keep it short and to the point. It helps to keep the engagement of your audience. It shows that you value their time.

Keep it short

Movies about law, having heroic or ferocious lawyers often strike gold in Hollywood, giving good competition to big-ticket movies.
To Kill A Mockingbird, a 1962 adaptation of a book by Harper Lee, had the character Atticus Finch, a fictional lawyer who became the greatest hero of all American cinema in a list ‘100 Years... 100 Heroes and Villains’ by the American Film Institute.

Hollywood’s Love For Movies With Lawyers

Well-known movie stars like Gregory Peck, Tom Cruise and Kevin Costner have portrayed lawyers.Movies about lawyers, like Gandhi, 12 Angry Men and Philadelphia have made it to the Top 50 movies of all time in the ‘100 Years... 100 Heroes and Villains’ list by the American Film Institute.

Big Movies With Lawyers

Law movies offer legal wisdom and often have justice prevailing in the end. The audience is enthralled by the wit and the voyeurism, where internal details are filled with drama and mystery, offering an inside look at how a lawyer stands up for someone in the court of law.The human experience, vulnerable and raw, is on full display in legal stories, whose choreography, twists, and impossible odds are loved by filmmakers and the audience.

The Thirst For Justice

Revenge has a universal appeal, as does the righting of something wrong or unfair. Justice is first denied and then reclaimed by hard work and sweat, with the audience rooting for the lawyer in charge of setting things right, facing hard challenges.Law movies do not portray a real courtroom, but change their pace in order to be entertaining. The audience are not looking for accuracy, but a good story that gives justice to the one who is mistreated by law, and to put the real wrongdoer behind bars, whatever it takes.

The Magnetism Of Revenge

The audience is looking for an escape from the mundane reality and an action flick often does not provide the mental stimulation or an uplifting of the human spirit. They would prefer a courtroom drama, where heroism is not shown by muscle power, but by the presence of mind, resilience and legal chops.

An Escape From Reality

The ABA Journal is read by half of the nation's 1 million lawyers every month. It covers the trends, people and finances of the legal profession from Wall Street to Main Street to Pennsylvania Avenue.

Why Hollywood loves lawyers

“There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance.”

“We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections.”

“If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there’d be peace.”

“If someone thinks that peace and love are just a cliché that must have been left behind in the 60s, that’s a problem. Peace and love are eternal.”

“I don’t believe in killing whatever the reason.”

“Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.”

“I am going into an unknown future, but I’m still all here, and still while there’s life, there’s hope.”

“I used to think anyone doing anything weird was weird. Now I know that it is the people that call others weird that are weird.”

“You can judge a man’s true character by the way he treats his fellow animals.”

“It’s being here now that’s important. There’s no past and there’s no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now.”

“Life is what happens to you when you’re busy making other plans.”

“I only had two alternatives. Give up or carry on.”

“And any time you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain. Don’t carry the world upon your shoulders.”

“Music is like a psychiatrist. You can tell your guitar things that you can’t tell people. And it will answer you with things people can’t tell you.”

“A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.”

“You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us. And the world will live as one.”

“When you do something noble and beautiful and nobody noticed, do not be sad. For the sun every morning is a beautiful spectacle and yet most of the audience still sleeps.”

Beatles Quotes that Reach for a Better World

Lack of self-efficacy, that is your confidence (or belief) in navigating a challenging situation and shooting down potential obstacles is a fundamental reason for the inability to focus.
<ul>
<li>Coined in 1977 by psychologist Albert Bandura, self-efficacy is different from confidence, as it relates to a particular task or topic.</li>
<li>High self-efficacy results in less stress and depression and almost guarantees your personal accomplishment.</li>
<li>A low self-efficacy results in procrastination, failure and blame games.</li>
</ul>

The Worst Offender In Your Lack Of Focus

Procrastination, motivation and focus relate to our emotions and internal feelings. Fear and uncertainty play a big role in these emotional issues. Low self-efficacy lowers our guard towards the internal distractions and one is easily stressed out.
A high self-efficacy insulates us from the emotional problems that affect our focus negatively.

Impact Of Self-Efficacy On Your Ability To Focus

<ol>
<li>Mastery experiences: Convince yourself about your capability by completing small but difficult tasks using deliberate practice.</li>
<li>Vicarious experiences: Observe and be with people doing the tasks you want to do successfully. Find mentors and guides that push you towards your success.</li>
<li>Social persuasion: Create opportunities for review and feedback in an earlier stage of the project, ensuring it is sincere.</li>
<li>Our emotional state: Remove stressful thoughts and focus on being effective and positive by changing your inner voice.</li>
</ol>

Four Elements To Build Self-Efficacy At Work

How to hack your self-efficacy to provide you with the desired confidence, in spite of the inevitable obstacles:
<ol>
<li>Break your goal into smaller tasks.</li>
<li>Track your progress using any tracker app.</li>
<li>Set up steps to get feedback at an early stage.</li>
<li>Ask questions, request for help and guidance.</li>
<li>Keep your stress and doubts aside for a while.</li>
<li>Celebrate your wins, however small and reflect on what has worked.</li>
</ol>

A Practical Guide To Building Motivation And Focus

When you have high self-efficacy, you’re more likely to set challenging goals and stay motivated through unexpected setbacks.

Self-efficacy: A psychological trick to ‘hack’ your focus and motivation

The first step in approaching a negative situation with an optimistic outlook is to accept what you can’t change.Once you’ve done that, you have 2 options: reframe ( look for an opportunity instead of ruminating on the loss ) or divert (shift your focus to something else).

Reframe or divert

Noticing and savoring the pleasant moments and thinking, "Wow, this is really great "can strengthen positive emotions.In general, we tend to dwell on the negative side and not notice the positive things we experience.

Savor the good

Write yourself a message on a sticky note and attach it to your computer screen at work (an inspirational quote, a reminder to smile, etc).Small reminders like these help keep positivity front and center in your life.

Set reminders

One of the fastest, most effective ways to feel happier is to show someone kindness.In a 2017 study by Oxford University, researchers found that performing acts of kindness for just seven days had a measurable, positive effect on well-being and positive social emotion.

Do something nice for someone else

Most optimists have strong, supportive relationships. The comfort of knowing you don’t have to do everything by yourself contributes to long-term happiness.You don’t have to have a lot of them, but you have to have around you people you trust and trust you back.

Phone a friend

Thinking about what you’re grateful for can instantly improve your mood.It works because our interpretation of events influences our emotions more than the events themselves.

Say thanks

Being positive doesn't always come naturally. If you want to reap the benefits of a more positive life, here's what experts suggest you do.

How to Be a More Positive Person, According to Experts | Time

“You must be the change you wish to see in the world.”

“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”

“A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.”

“He who fears he will suffer, already suffers because he fears.”

“We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty.”

“Love is a verb. Love — the feeling — is a fruit of love, the verb.”

“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.”

“If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change the way you think about it.”

“In seeking happiness for others, you will find it in yourself.”

“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”

“Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift of God, which is why we call it the present.”

“Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose.”

“If you want happiness for an hour — take a nap. If you want happiness for a day — go fishing. If you want happiness for a year — inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a life time — help someone else.”

“When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.”

“Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.”

“Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure that you are not, in fact, just surrounded by assholes.”

“Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.”

“A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.”

“The only way that we can live is if we grow. The only way we can grow is if we change. The only way we can change is if we learn. The only way we can learn is if we are exposed. And the only way that we are exposed is if we throw ourselves into the open.”

“Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.”

“I would rather die a meaningful death than to live a meaningless life.”

Words of wisdom from the world's wisest thinkers are timeless, though the world continues to change every day. If you'd like me to help you manage your experiments as your consultant and coach, hop on my calendar for a strategy meeting. "Love is necessary for a healthy life.
