Praise and Recognition by Kent Jacobson a.k.a. Mr. Success |
| |
|
When was the last time you praised your child, told someone good
job or even simply said thank you. In the rush to get all of our
day-to-day activities and trying to complete tasks, I doubt very

coach, teacher, manager, peer, mentor or parent, you must on a
regular basis stop and praise the efforts of those around you. |

Why You Must Manage Your Emotions? by Kent Jacobson a.k.a. Mr. Success |
| |
|
How many times have each of us been involved in or observed the
dominate emotion, anger, overtaking a given situation? Way too
many I suspect. Emotions, especially negative ones can surface at
work, play, with family, friends, in the boardroom or on the ball
field. Independent of the situation, anger is one of the most
detrimental of the emotions you must learn to recognize and
control. |
