Healthcare workers are selflessly putting themselves at risk during this very scary and unprecedented time. I remember caring for patients during a bad flu season and having to decide who got their therapy because we were working with minimal staff because my coworkers were sick too. I struggle to find the words to describe the physical, emotional and mental challenges faced in a single shift. The gut wrenching heartbreak of families saying final goodbyes can be followed just minutes later by the exhilaration of a patient who rallies, after days of teetering on the brink. I have met and had the privilege of working with some of the most successful individuals in business and technology but truth be told, they pale in comparison to many I have stood side by side with and seen perform heroic events, then quietly go home at the end of a shift. True heroes are in our midst and need our support now more than ever. 💗🙏🏻 #healthcare #heroes …see more

US stock markets opened lower with the Dow down 2% and the NASDAQ continuing to out-perform. Trading is orderly, with notable name-specific differentiation by investors.

How do you learn to NOT take things personally? There are some real gems in this TED Talk from actor and coach (and amateur football referee!) Frederik Imbo . But if you don't have time to listen to the whole thing, at least check out the final 1.5 minutes, which contain a powerful illustration. (It begins at the 16:15 mark in the video.) And if you don't even have time for that, here's the sound bite: "People may attack you, criticize you or ignore you. They can crumple you up with their words, spit you out or even walk all over you. But remember: Whatever they do or say... You will always keep your value." (Really, though, check out the link. Frederik's object lesson makes a much greater impact.) #emotionalintelligence #leadership #management #growthmindset #eqapplied #MakeEmotionsWorkForYouNotAgainstYou …see more

The 4th and final facet of emotional intelligence is RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT. Relationship management is the ability to get the most out of your connections with others. It includes the ability to influence through your communication and behavior. Instead of trying to force others into action, you use insight and persuasion to motivate them to act on their own accord. Relationship management also involves bringing emotional benefits to others. Doing so gradually increases the level of trust and strengthens the bond between you and your partners. Want to learn how relationship management can help you make emotions work for you, instead of against you? Or would you like to learn more about the other three abilities of emotional intelligence?

How has Jerry Seinfeld managed to stay relevant for decades? Recently, I came across an interview in which the famous comedian shared some interesting insights he's learned through the years. "If you're doing it for them, you'll be fine. If you're doing it for you, that could be problematic at a certain point--because they'll know it. They'll feel it. "And they won't like it." Pondering Seinfeld's words, I believe they hold value far beyond the entertainment industry. And we could sum up the key point in just nine words: It is not about you. It's all about them.

Sadly, the quality of dependability has become very rare. It’s common nowadays for people to break an agreement or commitment when they feel like it. Whether it’s plans for the weekend, a business deal sealed with a handshake, or a promise made to a loved one, many find it easy to go back on their word when following through would present the slightest inconvenience. Of course, there are different degrees of commitment. Bailing on an evening of Netflix with a friend will cause less harm than breaking a promise to your child or missing a business deadline others are depending on. And sometimes, extenuating circumstances will interfere with your ability to follow through. But if you make a habit of keeping your word—in things big and small—you’ll develop a strong reputation for reliability and trustworthiness... Leading to stronger, deeper relationships.
