From “where did you study?” to “what is your experience?”

Increased competition to hire talent.

Level-up your strategic thinking.

6 basic points to get ahead.

// THREAD //
1. Camouflage your competitiveness

Winners say, “let’s see if we win, our competition is good”. Even when knowing that they will be the winners. Be the “underdog”. Catch everyone by surprise, knowing that you’re better. Less pressure & unnecessary stress too; you will feel good.
2. Become a leading “detective”

Recognise clues that guide you to new opportunities. Curiosity leads to growth. 1) Observe 2) listen 3) understand. Read between the lines and stay aware. This leads to “Ah Ha, I got this”. Moments of greatness that guide your future direction.

12 types of difficult personalities.

How you can disarm them.

// THREAD //
1. The “Patronising” suspect

They are always better than everyone.

Are they really though? The bullies. It can be shouting, making fun of you or talking behind your back. Don't attack back. Disarm them by remaining calm and avoid sarcasm. “Are you done? Can we move on now?”.
2. The “Gaslighting” abuser

They enjoy making you think you’re crazy.

The problem is you, not them. They manipulate to question your beliefs/thoughts & everything around you. They are “in charge”. Disarm them by focusing on feelings; avoid right or wrong. Don’t doubt yourself.

You want to be a leader.

8 traits to behave like one.

// THREAD //
1. Treat authority with caution

You become a “Manager” or you gain “Followers” online. Both a sign of entitlement. Yet, most get so concerned on their status that they forget about the mission. “Leadership is a choice, not a rank” – Simon Sinek. Make others feel good, feel safe.
2. Nothing is “URGENT”

“This is urgent”. An overused statement that loses its credibility. There is a culture of unnecessary stress, burnout and low-quality work. Unless you work in healthcare, it’s not urgent. Get your priorities in order; differentiate urgent vs. important.

How to read people.

6 key points to have an advantage.

// THREAD //
1. Eye movements; mind reflection

Avoid eye contact? They're shy, hiding something or feeling intimidated. Find out. Looking bottom right? Reflecting their feelings. Bottom left (disagreement), top right (lie/visualising), top left (remembering). Study eyes; know their thinking.
2. Body distance defines openness

They lean away? Negative response. Lean back too. Leaning in: You got their attention. Respect distance, or their first impression won’t be positive. “7% is what you say, 38% is how you say it and 55% is nonverbal communication”- Dan Lok.
