The Surprising Harm Of Being Around Negative People
| |
| The words someone else speaks or the actions they take in your presence can change the actual structure of your brain! How you choose to spend your time and who you choose to allow into your sphere of influence matters greatly.
Experiencing negative situations or negative people not only changes the structure of the brain, but memories of those interactions get stored in the cells of the body and remain long after the event took place.

The Dark Side
| |
| How well can we manage ourselves, our teams and businesses in a crisis or tough times?
Are our actions and behaviours putting us, our people and our businesses at risk?
As leaders and managers we are on show and our actions often speak louder than our words. In challenging times this is even more evident. Under pressure cracks may appear and our leadership is put to the test.
How do we cope under pressure? What happens to us when we crack? When placed under high levels of pressure, most people will rely on coping mechanisms or their strengths that help them manage in day to day activities, but due to the pressure they can actually become counterproductive tendencies. We refer to these as “risk factors” and they can emerge as our dark side. |

Make the Most of Your Time - Focus on Strengths
| |
| Time efficiency and business effectiveness are much better served when we focus our efforts where we are strongest – when we are aligned with our values and skills. And by delegating those parts of our skill-set which less best suited, we get the best of both worlds. |

Time Management and Team Development The Yes and No of It
| |
| When to say 'Yes'; when to say 'No' - the dilemma! You see we human beings spend a lot of our time saying them at the wrong time - and it gets us into all sorts of trouble, expends our energies and wastes our time. In fact, if we said 'Yes' when we say 'No' and 'No', when we say 'Yes', it would make big, big difference in our lives. |

Dealing With Difficult People
| |
| Dear Jane,
I’m naturally high strung and picky. This can cause problems for me with people who are more easygoing. How do I not get caught up with judging them or even myself? Sometimes I want to avoid people with personalities that are so different from mine. But then I tell myself that this isn’t very open-minded of me.
Your personality includes your innate, unique characteristics as well as your coping strategies developed in childhood. The more you understand about your personality style—what makes you tick—the less judgmental you will be and the more you can use this information to enhance your own and others’ lives. |

4.2.2 Training provision for women
| |
| The identification of women's training needs has often been flawed because "women are rarely treated as knowing what they need" (ibid: 30). The available evidence tends to show that poor women in most developing countries are usually most interested in skills training that meets their own immediate 'practical gender needs' as opposed to longer term, "strategic gender needs" that directly tackle the basic underlying causes of female subordination (see Moser, 1989). |
