My Top Reads of the Past Week: Off the beaten path

Life gets busy. Don’t we know it!

Whether you’re stretching yourself or just trying to stay on top of your existing responsibilities, there never seems to be enough time in the day.

To help you out (just a little), I scoured the web for new articles from my favourite sources to inspire you each week. This week’s selection includes great pieces from Harvard Business Review and Forbes:

  1. The Five Secret Steps To Building Resilience - Everyone (especially leaders) needs to possess resilience. Without it, you stay in the safe zone. And that’s not where excellence happens!
  2. Deepak Chopra's 6 Tips To Reduce Stress At Work - Do you have stress at work? You’re in good company! In CareerCast’s 2017 Job Stress Survey, 82% of workers said their jobs fall on the more stressful end. Dr. Deepak Chopra may be able to help.
  3. Three Signs You've Put Your Career On Autopilot - It’s easy to become complacent in your career, to trade challenges for comfort, and mistake staleness for stability.
  4. How to Handle Interrupting Colleague - Ever been interrupted by a colleague? There are a number of tactics to handle this. But it is important to first understand when and why people interrupt others.
  5. 4 Lines That'll Catch You Off Guard During Salary Negotiations - You want to be prepared for your upcoming salary negotiation, so you plan to research the standard pay range and practice asking for what you want. Those steps are certainly valuable, but they’re not enough.
  6. “Poor Communication” Is Often a Symptom of a Different Problem - Think of the complaints about communication problems as the canary in the coal mine. It’s a signal that something is wrong. However, “poor communication” itself is probably not the problem.
  7. Why Self-Improvement Should Be a Group Activity - Our ability to calibrate where we are effective, or not, and which talents are worthy of investment, or not, requires the eyes and insights of those best positioned to help decide — those on the receiving end of our behavior.

I trust that you find the articles above interesting. Let me know if you have any great content to share!

We are in the Skills Business!

Through recruitment, training and consulting, Timeo-Performance provides solutions for increased performance of companies, teams, and individuals. As our clients are in the center of global business and often serve the APAC region, our solutions need to be sustainable in a multicultural and remote context.

Our joint venture with Akteos, the European leader in intercultural training, and partnership with digital learning solutions provider CrossKnowledge have therefore been organic and logical additions to our service. Timeo-Performance has been helping companies in APAC increase business performance since 2008 with offices in Singapore, Malaysia, and Hong Kong.

We love what we do, feel the Timeo-Performance experience!

As busy professionals, our schedules are often filled to the brim with meetings and tasks to complete. We can get so caught up with work that we might even forget our all-important lunch and power through dinner as well. Alas, we can only do so much given the 24 hours we have in a day. While time management is vital, being productive is another matter in its entirety.Enter time batching.
