Un leone e un cinghiale iniziano a litigare per l'acqua: è estate e tutti e due vogliono essere i primi a bere, in modo da dissetarsi. La lite diventa sempre più aspra finchè sia il leone che il cinghiale capiscono che è meglio fare la pace. Altri pericoli incombono su di loro...

The thing is when you write, you don't write down everything in your head. this would do you more harm than good.

09 How writing down things can improve your fluency in speaking.

There are many reasons why you should speak about money in the workplace such as salary negotiations, sales and purchasing, accounting, budgeting and resources... the list goes on.

However, whatever the reason there are always some drawbacks to discussing money:

You are talking about your money. The person you are engaging with will be focused on their money. You might need to check the basic assumptions to check that you and your opponent are talking about the same thing as often this is not the case. You need to express different perspectives and points of view on values, inputs and outputs, and ownership, etc., which can be difficult, and sometimes delicate, to do.

SHIFT THE FOCUS FROM PRICE TO VALUE

Talk in a way that places focus on the benefits you can offer your counterpart and not what claims you want to make for yourself personally. What savings can you give, what profits can you enhance? This is also particularly relevant when you are in an interview, as you can show what an economical advantage it would be for you to be hired rather than the next person, as businesses are always interested in those that can help boost business!

I Libri In  Pillole di Federica

Terzo capitolo, Storia di un Gatto e del Topo  che divento' suo amico

Narrator: The challenge for modern-day employees is to​evolve as the world is rapidly changing around them. You may not change, but the skills required to do your job well. In the last decade, ​automation has already had an impact on the number of jobs, and there are fears that this isn’t going to slow. Learning new skills allow workers to stay​relevant and competitive, even in the face of changes in their industry. It doesn’t have to be vastly time-consuming. Something such as improving your​Word or Excel skills, or learning basic code, to make you more efficient is a start. Yet, investing in more up-to-date abilities is a good idea. A good starting point is job-specific skills, but personal skills are also worth looking into. For example, if you find it difficult to cope under pressure, you may want to look into ​self-management. Communication is another area worth considering. You may want to look at, not only how you express yourself, but also your ability to ​actively listen when others are talking and incorporate their feedback and ideas into what you do. With globalization, another ​fundamental skill these days is intercultural awareness. So, there are a variety of options for us to improve our working knowledge.
