Consistent with Futures, US stocks just opened some 4% higher from their Friday close. The high beta names -- not the conventional ones but those more sensitive to virus-related developments, such as travel and hospitality -- are leading the gains. Big issue for the day: will the rally bring in investors or allow for exits. #stocks #markets #forex #investmentmanagement #selloff #stockmarket #volatility #equities #centralbanks #yields #stockmarket #volatility #currency #bonds #ecb #eurozone #fixedincome #monetarypolicy #cnbc #gold #fed #federalreserve …see more

I used to hate the thought of giving negative feedback to those on my team. "What if it doesn't go well?" I'd ask myself. "What if they completely miss the point? Or, worse yet, what if they get upset?" But over the years I've learned there's a way to frame feedback that completely changes the way others receive it, and it hinges on a single, very powerful word: "Constructive." Chris Colaco , founder of the company, 1 Minute Feedback, explains that in most cases, the word feedback carries a negative connotation or feeling. Just think of the feeling that runs down your spine when someone says: "Can I give you some feedback?" Or, "I'd like to share some feedback with you." Now, let's insert the magic word, and notice how the feeling changes: "Can I give you some constructive feedback?" "By inserting the word 'constructive' before the word feedback, you go a long way to changing the perception of the word feedback from something that's negative to something that has a positive, helpful connotation," says Colaco.

Over the past 25 years, Amazon has transformed itself. What began as an online bookseller has become one of the world's largest retailers. Beyond that, Amazon is the market leader in cloud storage services (AWS), is a major producer of both television and film (Amazon Studios), and has now entered the health care market. So, how do Jeff Bezos and co. do it? How do they decide on which ideas to focus their considerable resources, and which they want to leave behind? Ian McAllister, Director of Amazon Day and former Director of Amazon Smile, shared an insightful look into Amazon's approach for product development. The approach is known as "working backwards." Let's break down how this process works and see how it can help you and your business.

In a recent interview, Bezos provided an interesting window into his thinking on meetings: "I like to do my high IQ meetings before lunch," Bezos said. "Like anything that's going to be really mentally challenging--that's a 10 o'clock meeting. Because by 5:00 p.m., I'm like, 'I can't think about that today. Let's try this again tomorrow at 10:00.'" Of course, it's not just about the meeting time. Here's why this concept is smart...and three additional ways to make those meetings count. #Empathy #EmotionalIntelligence #leadership #management #BestAdvice #careers #BusinessIntelligence #Amazon #communication #meetings #PersonalDevelopment #EQ #EQApplied #MakeEmotionsWorkForYouNotAgainstYou …see more

A quick word about empathy:  You’ll never be able to imagine exactly how another person feels. But trying will get you a lot closer than you would be otherwise.  And when the other person feels understood, they are more likely to reciprocate that effort and attempt to understand YOU. That's something all of us need, sooner or later. Usually, it's sooner than we think.
