Are you really speaking like an expert? When clients hire you, they’re not just looking for someone to check boxes—they’re seeking your unique expertise.

The way you express yourself can greatly influence how clients perceive your value. Need a bit of support to get started? Here’s your cheat sheet: ? BE the expert? Don’t downplay your knowledge by saying, “I think.” Instead, assert your recommendations. ? Anticipate Pushback If you expect clients to push back, embrace it! Prepare your response by stating, “I recommend we do X, Y, and Z. How does that sit with you?” This approach shows confidence and invites collaboration. ? Stay in Your Lane Remember, while clients may be experts in their industry, you are the expert in yours. Hold onto that authority and guide them through your expertise.

The Untold Role of Emotions in Professional Success A data-driven business world, often overlooks fundamental truth: we are, inherently, emotional beings. As a leader with over two decades of experience, Amit Gupta observes how emotional intelligence shapes workplace dynamics, often more profoundly than we acknowledge. Emotional Assessment in Professional Settings like during interviews, beyond credentials, we subconsciously evaluate emotional intelligence. The corporate term "EQ" merely formalizes what we naturally do: gauge emotional competence. Gauge Tenacity. Gauge confidence. Key Insight: While technical skills get you through the door, emotional intelligence often determines how far you'll go. It's not just about managing emotions, but understanding their origin and impact. Professional Implications: Recognize that emotions play a vital role in workplace dynamics Understand that EQ assessment happens continuously, not just during formal evaluations. Appreciate that emotional responses are shaped by various factors, including and most importantly conditioning and past experiences. Time to have nuanced conversations about emotions in professional settings. They're not a liability - when understood and managed well, they're an invaluable asset.

I've come across countless books and podcasts that suggest "your colleagues are not your friends." However, I’m discovering firsthand that building genuine relationships is crucial for the success of any organization or business. After all, we spend a significant portion of our time at work, away from family and friends, so cultivating meaningful connections in the workplace is vital. Here are a few tips to help foster strong relationships with your colleagues: 1.Schedule Informal Meetings: Set aside time for casual conversations with your team. It’s a great way to build rapport and understanding. 2.Share Personal Stories: Your experiences and stories can create powerful connections and foster empathy. 3.Be Curious: Take an interest in your teammates’ passions and hobbies. It shows you value them as individuals. 4.Listen Actively: Pay attention to both verbal and non-verbal cues. They can offer valuable insights into how others are feeling. 5.Express Gratitude: Don’t underestimate the impact of a simple “thank you” for even the small things. It builds goodwill and appreciation. Let’s embrace these practices to enhance team dynamics and drive better results together! #Teamwork #Leadership #WorkplaceCulture #EmployeeEngagement #ProfessionalGrowth

While we often say #softskills should be equally important in hiring decisions, what measures are we actually taking to accurately assess this aspect of a candidate's personality? How serious do we take this point into consideration? In my opinion, soft skills are especially critical in senior positions. For example, imagine a head of a unit lacking communication skills, how would the work flow in that case? I doubt it would flow smoothly. Senior positions often involve interacting with more people than usual, including team members, senior management, other department heads, external vendors, and clients. If someone in such a role lacks communication skills, the work will likely face obstacles, confusion, and distractions. I recently listened to a podcast on personal development that highlighted how much awareness and self-admission are needed for someone to change their behavior. External factors also play a significant role in shaping one’s behavior. While technical skills can be learned with a solid foundation and the willingness to improve. This is why soft skills and behaviors deserve more attention and consideration during #hiring and beyond.
