Six Habits For Better Relations in the Workplace

By Donald Yates Platinum Quality Author

Be truthful and trusting

Today's world is beset by conflict, mistrust and distancing. The need for acceptance is a growing phenomenon and one that demands attention. People are social beings who strive to be accepted. It is in their nature to seek closeness, trust and forgiveness in their relationships yet in today's world the table has been turned. People of today are full of mistrust, anxiety and disassociation which makes them self supportive. Relationships have become strained and families fractured. You don't have to live a life of dissolution and loneliness.

Cast out fear and instill confidence

It seems no one wants to go swimming for fear of the sharks. Just because the national news is filled with crime, murder, mayhem and financial uncertainties you don't have to allow it to effect your relationships. People are reluctant to embrace relationships for fear of being hurt, rejected or being taking advantage of. Confidence is in short supply because confidence men have corrupted the very core of decency.

Reinvent yourself

By making a few subtle changes in your demeanor such as how you approach others, conduct and present yourself you may discover that relationships become valuable assets. This gives you greater opportunity to build lasting relationships from smoother daily exchanges. Given years of observation coupled with fifty years of personal application I hereby offer you some easy-to-adopt suggestions.

1. Come into their proximity, People are more likely to favor someone who remembers their discussions and are in agreement as they stand or sit side by side, rather than facing head on.

When people face each other they literally face off or have a stance of resistance. Men instinctively take a face-to-face stance of dominance. Make it a habit to come into your coworkers proximity, it reduces uneasiness and allows you to enter their comfort zone. Walking side-by-side while having a discussion reduces tensions further and allows you to become even closer connected. If there are issues to be resolved it is best to discuses matters while walking together not sitting across from each other.

2. Let them know you care. Remember people's birthday, anniversary likes and dislikes and any other particulars about them. Let them know you care about them by sending a note of gratitude, short phone call or offering your assistance. Most of all, listen to what they have to say and be available if they need help.

3. Use Good Judgment. Know when to deal and when to fold. Don't be a nescience yet be cordially available. People feel comfortable when they know there is someone they can trust. They naturally want to be connected to someone they can relate to.

4. Be active not reactive. Activate the relationship by acting in a manner consistent to your belief's. BE REAL! Do not react to someone else's conflicting ideas. Simply put yourself in their shoes and understand and respect their perceptions.

5. Use the power of scents. I know, this may sound strange but fragrances are powerful to the emotional sense because it bypasses much of the brain's thinking process. Think about using scents to softly introduce positive, natural and uplifting feelings into your surroundings. Natural aromas introduced into an environment helps to refresh people, giving them an uplifted feeling. That's why outlets as diverse as the Rainforest Cafe, Sahara Vegas Casino, Disney/Epcot Home of the Future and San Francisco Aquarium have created natural signature scents to avoid allergic reactions while refreshing those they serve.

Consider adding a light scene with aromas that you are most comfortable with to your clothing. The odor of vanilla or lemon makes the mind think clean while lavender or rose symbolizes imminence. Lemon vanilla, lavender, and potpourri are Americans' most -liked scents.

6. Be constructive. Let people know you value their relationship. People are drawn to other people who exemplify their root beliefs. Inject cheerfulness into your relationship. Don't cast a negative shadow; chase the clouds away, be uplifting and positive.

The workplace is obviously a place of common bonding. Most people spend more waking hours with coworkers than their families. Workplace relationships should be kept professional yet friendly. Do not make the mistake of crossing the line between a workplace relationship and personal relationship. In most cases, the workplace is competitive as it encourages teamwork coupled with a desire to advance. At times relationships can be strained when two or more people are jockeying for the same position. Always keep in mind that everyone is working for a common cause and nobody wins if there is distension amongst employees.

Happy trails

Membangun Komunikasi Efektif

Sebagai makluk sosial komunikasi merupakan hal yang paling dekat dengan kita. Apa sih sebenarnya komunikasi itu? Komunikasi dapat kita artikan sebagai berbagi pikiran, informasi dan intelijen. Segala bentuk aktivitas yang dilakukan oleh seseorang dengan tujuan menyampaikan pesannya pada orang lain merupakan tujuan komunikasi. Lalu jika pesan yang kita maksudkan tersebut tidak sesuai dengan penangkapan lawan bicara kita, terjadilah mis-komunikasi, Nah, sebuah komunikasi yang efektif membutuhkan kejernihan pesan, kelengkapan pesan, ekspresi wajah, kontak mata, postur tubuh, dan penampilan fisik secara eksternal.

Di era modern ini mungkin nampak 'tolol' melihat seseorang berusaha menciptakan kesadaran komunikasi. Banyak di antara kita memberi sedikit perhatian pada hal ini tetapi kenyataanya komunikasi ini terus berlangsung, tak peduli siapa anda, jika anda tidak bisa berkomunikasi dengan semestinya maka tak seorangpun akan mendengarkan Anda. Jadi komunikasi merupakan sebuah asset penting sebagai tambahan untuk kepribadian Anda. Bagiamana membangun sebuah komunikasi efektif tersebut, berikut beberapa hal yang sebaiknya jadi pertimbangan untuk dikembangkan:

Kontak Mata

Hal pertama yang dilakukan seorang pembicara yang baik adalah menatap lawan bicara dan mengambil jeda untuk memulai sebuah pembicaraan. Ini merupakan salah satu cara yang membantu untuk menciptakan kesan baik pada lawan bicara. Usahakan mempertahankan kontak mata sepanjang pembicaraan, agar lawan bicara Anda tak merasa diabaikan.

Ekspresi Wajah

Wajah merupakan cermin kepribadian individual. Ekspresi wajah mengungkapkan pikiran yang sedang melintas pada diri seseorang. Sebagi contoh: sebuah senyum mengungkap keramah-tamahan dan kasih-sayang;Mengangkat alis mata menunjukan ekpresi heran; Mengernyitkan dahi menyampaikan ketakutan dan kegelisahan. Semua emosi dan berbagai macam tingkah manusia diekspresikan dalam emosi yang berbeda yang tergambar di wajah. Jadi saat melakukan komunikasi tunjukan ekspresi bahwa Anda tertarik dengan bahan pembicaraan.

Postur Tubuh

Setiap gerak-gerik tubuh saat berbicara mesti dikoordinasikan dengan kekuatan meyakinkan dari Anda. Mereka bisa jadi semacam tambahan untuk cara efektif yang dapat ditangkap secara visual daripada secara verbal. Sebagai contoh: menundukan kepala menunjukkan penyelesaian pernyataan; mengangkat kepala menunjukkan akhir pertanyaan;Terlalu sering menggerakan bagian tubuh mengungkapkan sedang bergegas atau kebingungan. Untuk itu perhatikan gerak-gerik Anda saat melakukan komunikasi dengan lawan bicara.

Selera Berbusana

Busana memiliki tugas penting dalam menimbulkan kesan. Orang yang berbusana sesuai dengan struktur tubuh mereka nampak lebih menarik. Penampilan fisik seseorang dan busana yang dikenakan membuat dampak pasti pada proses komunikasi. Kita semua berbusana dan mungkin banyak diantara kita tak terlalu memperhatikan, namun hal kecil ini memiliki peran untuk sebuah efektif. Jika kita memperhatikan bagaimana cara berbusana, hal itu akan memperbaiki kemampun komunikasi kita. (erl)

Communicating in Your Corporate Culture

By David Byrd

Corporate culture at its most basic is how a company does what it does. A business's culture is made up of shared values, beliefs, habits and goals. A business's location, its employees and even customers all have a hand in forming a culture. Most corporate cultures are created organically, which is a nice way of saying that they are left to chance. Sometimes though, the leadership of a company realizes that their culture is one of the best selling points of the company; sometimes they see that their culture is dooming them.

Your business's culture is as important as your business plan and should be included in your thoughts as such. On a superficial level, a culture is how you're seen and what you do. This includes your building's layout, your equipment, the dress code, the organizational structure, your company policies, how you treat employees, and how you treat customers. Beneath all of this at the core, your culture is made up of the shared beliefs and values of the majority in the company.

Not all businesses are created equal or the same, but they all have a corporate culture of some sort. Identifying which culture they have isn't as easy as looking at the size of the building or how many employees there are. A small business could have the same culture as a multi-national corporation; it all depends on the mindset. When it comes to understanding the best way to run your business, there are two important things you must do: identify what kind of culture it has and know the best way to communicate within that culture.

To better understand the differences, we look at the culture studies of Fons Trompenaars who identifies four main culture types and how to navigate within them.

Guided Missile

A guided missile culture is objective based and organized to accomplish specific projects or goals. Managers feel a higher sense of ownership and are able to move their projects forward easily. Results come faster, the company is more agile, and there is plenty of flexibility for the employees. While this can be effective for getting things done, it isn't as beneficial for communication to the company as a whole. Communicating in this environment is more tactical than anything else, but you should hold on to the big picture to help keep these dynamic, but separate projects all heading in the same direction. Keep your global message based on the top priority project to get your audience's attention.

Eiffel Tower

This culture focuses on the relationship employees have with their immediate boss. Someone's position in the hierarchy vastly dictates what information they are receiving or able to give. While this is a strong culture, it is very slow to change. To communicate well, you need to have bottom-up and side-to-side communication channels in addition to the top-down information trickle. Make sure you have a solid and objective feedback process. A top managerial communications champion will be essential to make sure your information flows smoothly.

Familial

Like the name suggests, this kind of culture is similar to a family atmosphere. Loyalty, collaboration, and communication flow through relationships that are between people at any level. These relationships are driven through honor and respect. How much one can get done is dictated by who you know, how well you are liked, and how much of a fit in the company you are. Communicating in this culture is a more indirect process. Use celebrations and events to speak to the company as a whole. Direct criticism and confrontation will most likely backfire, so use stories, anecdotes, and non-personal examples to get your point across.

Incubator

Incubator cultures are a byproduct of the dot.com era and generations x and y. With the technology at hand, they get their information from almost every source except top-down communications. Once they have it, information billows out around them as they post on message boards, IM, and blogs. The best way to make an impression is to break them out of their normal, day-to-day atmosphere. Get them out from in front of their computers and into an auditorium. Make sure to include some moving around and good food. You'll make them pay attention when you go through the senses they don't normally use for work.

The culture of your business dictates how well your people will try to do the things that will make your business succeed. If you know what kind of culture you have, you can better understand how your employees think, how to communicate with them, and how best to use your culture to improve your company.

MENGHILANGKAN BATU EMPEDU SECARA ALAMIAH

share ya... dari imel teman

oleh Dr Lai Chiu-Nan

Ini telah berhasil bagi banyak orang. Apabila kejadian anda demikian juga, ayolah beritahu pada orang lain. Dr Chiu-Nan sendiri tak memungut biaya untuk informasinya ini, karena itu sebaiknya kita buat ini gratis juga. Ganjarannya adalah bila ada orang yang karena informasi yang anda berikan menjadi sehat.
Batu empedu tak banyak dirisaukan orang, tapi sebenarnya semua perlu tahu karena kita hampir pasti mengindapnya. Apalagi karena batu empedu bisa berakhir dengan penyakit kanker. "Kanker sendiri tidak pernah muncul sebagai penyakit pertama" kata Dr Chiu-Nan. "Umumnya ada penyakit lain yang mendahuluinya. Dalam penelitian di Tiongkok saya menemukan bacaan bahwa orang-orang yang terkena kanker biasanya ada banyak batu dalam tubuhnya. Dalam kantung empedu hampir semua dari kita mengandung batu empedu. Perbedaannya hanya dalam ukuran dan jumlah saja.. Gejala adanya batu empedu biasanya adalah perasaan penuh di perut ('nek, busung) sehabis makan. Rasanya kurang tuntas mencernakan makanan. Dalam kondisi parah ada tambahan rasa nyeri pada ginjal."

Bila anda menduga ada batu pada empedu anda, cobalah cara yang dianjurkan oleh Dr Chiu Nan untuk menghilangkannya secara alamiah.
Pengobatan ini juga dapat dipakai bila ada keluhan gangguan hati, karena hati dan kandung empedu saling berkaitan. Tata-cara pengobatannya adalah sebagai berikut:
1. Selama lima hari berturut-turut minumlah empat (4) gelas sari buah apel segar setiap hari, atau makanlah empat atau lima buah apel segar, tergantung selera anda. Apel berkhasiat melembutkan batu empedu. Selama masa ini anda boleh makan seperti biasa.
2. Pada hari ke-enam jangan makan malam. Jam 6 petang, telanlah satu sendok teh "Epsom salt" (magnesium sulfat, garam Inggris??) dengan segelas air hangat.
Jam 8 malam lakukan hal yang sama. Magnesium sulfat berkhasiat membuka pembuluh-pembuluh kandung empedu.
Jam 10 malam campurkan setengah cangkir minyak zaitun (atau minyak wijen) dengan setengah cangkir sari jeruk segar. Aduklah secukupnya sebelum diminum. Minyaknya melumasi batu2 untuk melancarkan keluarnyabatu empedu.
Keesokan hari Anda akan menemukan batu-batu berwarna kehijauan dalam limbah air besar anda. "Batu-batu ini biasanya mengambang," menurut Dr Chiu-Nan.
"Cobalah hitung jumlahnya. Ada yang jumlahnya 40, 50 sampai 100 batu. Banyak sekali. Tanpa gejala apapun Anda mungkin memiliki ratusan batu yang berhasil dikeluarkan melalui metoda ini, walaupun mungkin tidak semuanya keluar. Baik sekali apabila kita sekali-kali membersihkan kandung empedu kita."

1. Jenis Apel sebenarnya sama, cuma saya seneng yang manis... Kemaren aku makan Apel RRC yang sering diskon kalau di supermarket harga diskon per 100 gram 800-1000 (biasanya 1600)
2. Minum/makan apel selama 1 hari 4 (rata2) lima juga boleh.
3. Sebelumnya aku minum Jus asli apel. Cuma butuh waktu untuk mebuatnya.
Akhirnya selama 5 hari aku makan apel seger dari kulkas, kulitnya aku buang. Karena apel sekarang banyak yang dikasih lapisan lilin dan terkontaminasi sama pestisida... jadi aku buang kulitnya, lalu aku potong kecil..dan dimasukkan ke kulkas...jadi saat kita mau makan, apelnya masih seger dan dingin.
4. Garam Inggris beli di apotik harga Rp2.500 (Tempat obat)
5. Minyak Zaitun kalau kita ke Supermarket namanya Olive Oil, harga 25-30 ribu satu botol. Di Apotek juga ada, aku beli di sana karena dekat rumah.
Guna Jeruk agar kita tidak muntah saat minum Minyak Zaitun, Jadi aduk yang rata...karena sebelumnya adukanku tidak rata...sehingga eneg, ..lalu aduk lagi biar tercampur dengan rata..karena minyak dan jeruk tidak bersatu atau Berat Jenisnya beda...
