Feeling tired after meeting? This section is for you! 

            Everyone has different ideas and opinions. I am a person who wants to be kind and avoid conflict. I thought that people who have strong technical skill is able to become top performers at work. However, it is not true! A successful employee must learn how to deal with others and inspire others.

    I believe that we want to perform at work. Sometimes when you are completing the task and you believe our idea can create value and help the company. However, other people may not understand your idea. Although you have a good idea but don’t know how to present it to others, it is a waste! What can you do? You can use the correct techniques to present your ideas. For example, try to foster good or bad emotions when you propose your idea to the boss. Firstly, you render your boss fearful about the current state and joyful about the new plan that able to create revenue or increase the productivity of the company. You can gain support from your boss and you are successful.  

            Moreover, you will feel angry or stress when your subordinate does not perform well at work. Instead of criticizing them, try to understand why they are not performing well at work. For example, some people are not working well because they can’t find the meaning of work.  Imagine your team members work at the call center to raise university alumni donations for scholarships. They feel their job is less important because they don't know what is the purpose of raising fund. One day you approach them and show them the list of people who benefit from donations and thank you letter from people who received the donations. At that moment, I am sure they are energized and know about their purpose of working. 

             In working life, we may encounter the situation that a colleague opposes you or does not want to help you. Most of us first try to blame them or scold them behind and made us feel bad at work. The first step to overcome this problem is to understand why they oppose you. Everything happens must have the reason. Try to put yourself into another place and think about it. What might colleagues oppose you? Maybe your idea is threatening them or your planning will be made their life difficult so a colleague opposes your goal. After you discover the reason, try to figure out the steps to surmount them.
