How to Deal with Conflict in Life and Work

How to Deal with Conflict in Life and Work Life would certainly be easier if we all got along with each other, wouldn’t it? On the surface, people are ready to agree, nod and even go along with what you propose. In reality, the situation is vastly different. Life and work continues to teach us that we react to conflict in a visceral manner. The reasons are many â€" the potential of being disliked, vulnerable, ridiculed and even cast out is real. For some, the fear of the unknown or unexpected can be paralyzing.   What if you are stuck with figuring out the uncharted territory? For others, strong emotions associated with conflict might be overwhelming. What if the issue escalates quickly and virulently? When asked what a life without conflict might look like, most participants in a recent leadership seminar responded: “boring, without excitement,”   “complacent, no growth,”   “low stress yet uninteresting,” “dull without propelling tension.” Isn’t that a human paradox? While conflict can irritate, it can also beckon. While conflict can bring out the worst in people, it can also bring out the extraordinary. While conflict can make us resist, it can also expand our understanding. While conflict can divide, it can also unite. As participants discussed ideas and practiced on examples of conflict from their work, here is what I observed: There Is No Single Truth Yet each person’s truth is valid, mirrored in their individual belief, experience and understanding.   It reminded me of a quote by Anne Lamott, “Reality is unforgivingly complex.”   What transpired in group practice was the intense awareness that multiple realities co-exist uneasily and simultaneously, much like a dormant volcano.   Each reality is fiercely guarded and defended; each voice supported by experience and assumptions; each idea the right one.   What might help towards a shared truth? Without comment, allow each idea to surface and sit on the table-if people resist your invitation to speak up, have them write down their perspective and include it on the table.   Suspend disbelief, judgment, and blame to create an environment of ownership and influence.   Allow silence to work its magic as people reflect on the path they have followed to come to their reality. Offer powerful questions for the group to consider.   I like to give folks colored sand to use as “magic dust” as they sprinkle it on their conflict to come up with ideas that could be life-changing and effective.   What are some of your favorite questions to ask? Showing Up Matters Yet it is easier to hide or duck.   It is certainly the safe option.   However, I believe that the risk here is worth taking because, as trite as this sounds, if not now, then when? If not you, then who? Hold your advice and first, have a frank conversation with yourself.   Make a choice to be wholeheartedly present, without ego and assumptions.  This behavior is probably the hardest to practice, especially with no easy win in sight.   What has helped you practice this behavior? Jiddu Krishnamurthy, a philosopher, once said, “In the beginner’s mind, possibilities are endless.   In the expert’s mind, possibilities are few.”   Be the beginner, in each conversation to explore and uncover a mutual “yes.”   A beginner in a conversation assumes that there is something new to be learned, an idea to be challenged or a different perspective to be gained.  â€œWhat if?” is a good place to begin because it unleashes imagination and gives us permission to wonder aloud without the stress of coming up with the “right” solution. Seth Godin caught my attention when he introduced the word PARCOSM into my vocabulary, a word that means to create an ornate, richly detailed imaginary world â€" something I believe has universal appeal and might quickly bring conversations back to the essentialsâ€"what can we do collectively to create greater good and how might individual talents be harnessed? Each Conversation is Hard Work The moment one barrier is removed, another pops up. The moment a tenuous agreement is reached, it breaks. The moment you think you have made a friend, egos clash. Yet, each conversation is worth our time and attention because the only way out is through the mess in a dedicated and disciplined manner. How have you made this easier on yourself? Be authentic and true to yourself  Being honest in everyday interactions is hard work because of work politics, cultural norms and importantly, the invisible shield of defensiveness each one of us carries into these interactions. In a recent conversation, I heard a colleague say, “Honesty isn’t optional.   Timing perhaps is.”   I would add paying attention to your language, specifically the words with which you choose to enter conversations.   Take an inventory of your vocabulary to identify words that create a space for engagement and those that drive conversations away. What is the return on investment to you each time you have an authentic conversation? This is a deeply personal reflection because it requires coming out of the hiding, with blemishes and all to get past the bumps and create extraordinary results.   What are you willing to openly confront and possibly give up so that it frees you to remember why you bother? I’d like to hear your thoughts! Please leave them in the comments below. Thanks for reading.

What Technology Cant You Live Without as a Recruiter

What Technology Cant You Live Without as a Recruiter Imagine having to find the best talent without the luxury of your computer or your phone. Now try to imagine having to manage your workday without social media, online tracking systems, scheduling programs and productivity tools. Impossible right? Its no understatement to say that we have become dependant on technology. Things that once took hours to complete, can now be done in seconds. So as technology becomes more and more integral to the ways in which we work, interact, recruit and more, we asked our panel of experts what technology they find most important. Jonathan Kestenbaum   I’m not a recruiter myself, but from the conversations that I have with the heads of talent, the most important tools are those which help you source and engage candidates. There are many interesting tools available today that fit into this category including social search tools, social networks, and chat bots. Jonathan Kestenbaum, Executive Director, Talent Tech Labs Cheryl Cran   Recruiters need to be social media savvy and be able to use multiple platforms to access relevant and talented potential hires. Social media is the technology recruiters can’t live without. Cheryl Cran, CEO Future of Work Expert, Synthesis at Work Inc Nathan Perrott For me, it has to be the careers site and jobs portal/ATS. This is akin to the e-commerce database for retail sites. Without it, you have no way of getting applicants to see your jobs and to apply. Most applicant tracking systems still have a long way to go to be candidate friendly. And most employers forget the importance of the jobs and the software used to be able to find them. This is such a critical element of the process and the candidate experience, but is often overlooked. Nathan Perrott, Director of Digital Marketing Strategy, AIA Worldwide Adam Glassman   My role is a bit different as I’m not sourcing day-to-day. However, I rely heavily on data and analytics to inform my strategic decisions, so ensuring that the technologies we’re using are set up, tracking candidate activity properly and are talking to each other is crucial. Adam Glassman, Recruitment Strategies Manager, Alorica Hung Lee   It’s a great time to be a recruiter there are so many fantastic tools to use! If I were to set up a desk from scratch, I would like to have my recruiters have access to the following: key social networks (LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter) for sourcing/candidate identification, mention for social listening, slack for communities learning, productivity tools like autotextexpander, Boomerang for gmail, calend.ly for scheduling, appear.in for video calls and some sort of CRM which could track and aggregator prospect data. Hung Lee, CEO, WorkShape.io Chris Russell   The ability to collect resumes/profiles is a must have for me. Without that data, you are just shooting in the dark. We will always need a way for applicants to submit their interest or application. Chris Russell, Managing Director, RecTechMedia.com Bryan Chaney My smart phone camera is able to touch just about every aspect of my life, with the right apps. I love the ability to translate text through the camera (which I did on a recent trip to Tokyo), or video chat anyone in my address book. I can look up a candidate’s background via image search, and send a personal video introduction highlighting perks or a hiring team, all before breakfast.

10 Tips for Boosting Your Startups Google Ranking - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Tips for Boosting Your Startup’s Google Ranking - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career You’re living the dream and working to get your startup off the ground. Congratulations; getting started is half the battle. The other half is getting noticed and gaining recognition. There’s no question here: The best way to accomplish this is to boost your Google ranking. As the most popular search engine in the world, it makes sense to start here. Popular might be an understatement. The latest figures show that Google processes more than 40,000 search inquiries per second which averages out to approximately 1.2 trillion individual searches per year. Getting noticed here is not only a desired outcome, it’s also essential for finding online success. How do you make it happen? How do you take your startup to the next level in terms of personal branding and search engine rankings? Sometimes thinking creatively can go a long way. Check out the tips below for boosting your startup’s Google ranking while enhancing your overall brand. Know Your Keywords Any SEO strategy is incomplete without a targeted list of keywords. These keywords should be related to search terms that are relevant to your business. The days of picking words that you feel are best are done. Today, coming up with keywords takes research and planning. Because Google is your target, using its Keyword Planner makes sense. The planner allows you to upload your landing page along with keywords that you think might be relevant. From there, the tool will populate a list of target keywords. Look for keywords with low to moderate competition but high search volumes and create your list. Use Testimonials to Gain Links Links matter. The more reputable sites that link back to your site â€" the keyword here being reputable â€" the more relevant and popular your site will appear to search engine crawlers. In the past, backlink banks took advantage of this and multiple spam sites were created just to help brands gain links. Today, that practice is frowned upon, but backlinks still matter for SEO purposes. How do you work around this situation? By setting up a testimonial page. Testimonials not only help customers looking to make purchase decisions â€" 54 percent of customers are influenced by testimonials â€" they also help build links. Offer testimonials to brands that you’ve worked with, and ask them to return the favor. If you link to them on your site, they’ll probably be happy to do the same for you. Check out accounting software company Xero’s testimonial page as a reference. Focus on Content Blogging takes time, energy and creativity. Because of this, it’s often the last choice for startups already consumed with day-to-day business. However, to boost Google rankings, it must become a top priority. Regularly published content keeps your site fresh and demonstrates activity. 70 percent of content marketers claim content marketing increased awareness surrounding their brands. Search engines look for sites that are updated regularly; this combination means that regular, relevant content is essential for any brand hoping to increase search rankings. Hubspot’s inbound marketing blog is updated daily, filled with authoritative content from the brand itself, user-generated content and polls that keep readers engaged while attracting search traffic. Offer a Scholarship It doesn’t matter if your brand has anything to do with education whatsoever. By offering a scholarship, you attract attention from a new set of potential customers, as well as from sites with .edu domains. This is important: Sites with .gov and .edu domains receive higher page ranks thanks to their authoritative statuses. Backlinks from sites with higher page ranks tend to be more valuable than standard .com links. By offering a scholarship â€" like Towel Supercenter does â€" you can reach out to various establishments of higher education; they’re likely to share it on their website for students. This increases attention from potential customers and also from Google. Use Social Media More than 74 percent of adult Internet users use social media. This means that getting recognized and gaining a following on social media sites may be just as important â€" if not more important â€" than gaining a following on your site alone. Social media allows brands to share content effortlessly, and for readers to share that same content with their networks, increasing exposure on an exponential level. Furthermore, click-through rates increase by 94 percent by brands that use a combination of search and social media. Brands that use both are also generally rewarded by higher search rankings. The top brands in the world are seeing big gains in both personal branding and search rankings by using social media to enhance SEO strategies. Donate to Nonprofit Organizations and Sponsor Events for Charities SEO can be an expensive tactic, but generally, to make money, you have to spend it. One way to spend less while gaining exposure and receiving reputable backlinks is to donate to nonprofit organizations and becoming a sponsor for events. Many nonprofits have .org domains, which are also a step above .com in terms of page ranks. They’re also more than happy to highlight their sponsors and donors through thank you pages and event sponsor pages. Some businesses â€" like American Express â€" have seen 28 percent increases in traffic thanks to giving to charity, or cause marketing. There’s no reason your startup can’t do the same. Offer Discounts as Part of Your PPC Campaign Generally, Internet users who utilize Google for searches can tell the difference between a paid advertisement and an organic link. 94 percent of the time, organic links win out in terms of getting the actual click. This doesn’t mean that there’s not a place for sponsored and paid ads. It does mean that the strategy needs to change for success. If your startup is interested in receiving higher rankings and gaining more attention on Google, consider offering a discount through your paid ads. This will help gain attention without trying to mask your intentions. Shutterfly â€" an online retailer of photos and photo-related gifts â€" is notorious for offering daily discount codes on its website, social channels and Google to attract traffic that converts. Host a Photo Contest If there’s an opportunity to win something â€"a gift card, a free service, a sample product â€" people will likely be eager to participate. It’s an easy motivation for driving action. To take advantage of this, consider hosting a photo contest. Use a social media network like Instagram to set the contest regulations, asking users to submit photos with specific hashtags, during a certain time frame with a predetermined hashtag. Then, gather the photos and share them across your social channels and on your own website on an ongoing basis to improve search rankings. Run reverse photo searches on each photo you post to find out who else is sharing your site’s photos; ask the websites to credit your brand. This strategy â€" undertaken by multiple brands like Under Armour â€" drives attention and incites action. In fact, 7 out of Internet users have participated in an online photo contest. Your startup can take advantage of this to improve rankings across the board. Optimize for Mobile Users Starting last month, Google began rewarding sites that are optimized for mobile users. Not sure where you stand? Don’t worry; Google offers a mobile-friendly test to check out where you’re excelling and which areas could use improvement. This doesn’t only matter for Google, it also matters for improving user experiences. Because 63 percent of adults use smartphones to access the Internet, sites that aren’t compatible will receive less traffic. Evaluate where your site stands and consider creating an optimized site to improve personal branding efforts and Google rankings. Not sure how to make it happen? Consider working with an experienced Web developer who can provide options and discuss what route would be best for your brand. Monitor Your Success and Modify No strategy is a “create it and forget about it” endeavor. Brands that see SEO in this way tend to fail. Google’s search algorithms are updated â€" on average â€" more than once a day. This means that for any endeavor to be a success, it’s got to change on a daily basis. Set up Google Analytics to track the success of each campaign and page on your site. Become familiar with the terms within the tool and with which numbers are most applicable to your brand. Track your site visits, average visit lengths, bounce rates and traffic sources. Make changes as often as you need to in order to ensure success. Don’t be afraid to test out new methods and techniques to find what works best for your business. Starting a business and taking it to the next level is a large â€" yet exciting â€" undertaking. You can help your startup from day one by working to boost your Google rankings. The more traffic your site receives, the more likely your brand is to grow. Start with the tactics listed above and do research to find additional ways to reach your brand’s individual goals.

Embrace White Space as a Young Professional

Embrace White Space as a Young Professional By, Nicole Crimaldi Last night my girlfriend Millie and I were shopping at Water Tower Place in Chicago. Millie had several things on her shopping list, so spending long amounts of time in each store pondering and chatting with sales associates wasnt a priority. We went into the Coach store where Millie intended on purchasing an every day purse. Millie doesnt shop often so when she needs things, she gets in and out. Unfortunately, the moment we walked into Coach we were practically attacked by an overly peppy and talkative sales associate who immediately asked us Do you guys work around here? What do you do? Where are you from? Etc., etc. We gave short and simple answers in hopes that we could continue shopping. She proceeded to follow us around the store while talking about her self and practically bouncing off the walls.   She was a recent college graduate and banking intern.  We learned wayyyy too many details about this girl (Ill spare you) and honestly it was a distraction for us as shoppers. I couldnt wait to get out of that store. As we were leaving, Millie said Gosh, that girl just doesnt get it. That store sells itself, her attempt at selling us so hard made it worse. And I said back, she must not understand the concept of white space and that white space is ok! I think I first learned about white space in my entrepreneurship classes in college. Apple is a GREAT example of using white space. Take a look at their website, their products, their marketing. While  Apples competitors focus on filling the page/conversations/advertisingn with stuff, Apple does just the opposite- and boy has it worked well for them. The same concept of using white space can be applied to our careers. As young professionals, its so easy to open our mouths as a way to overcompensate for our lack of experience or to fill the silence with rhetoric. Consider your favorite leaders: they choose their words carefully. Sometimes they nod and think rather than speak. Great public speakers have learned to master (and rely on) white space. Experiment with taking advantage of white space today. It builds credibility and makes you more of a pleasure to work with. Dont fear the moment of silence- embrace it  for your benefit!

5-Part Millionaire Mindset Success Formula Part 2

5-Part Millionaire Mindset Success Formula â€" Part 2 When Opportunity Knocks, Take Your Millionaire Mindset for a Walk on the Wild Side I was in my mid-40s. The local newspaper in Snoqualmie, WA where I lived had an article about a local guitarist starting up a guitar studio and was starting to take students for guitar lessons. Id always considered playing guitar as something that would be cool to do. Id played clarinet in middle school and high school.   But it wasnt exactly the instrument people were beating down the doors to listen too.  And Id considered both guitar and piano (my mom and sister both played piano) since those were instruments people enjoyed listening to and were the easiest to play at a moments notice (who wants to shuffle off to the symphony to hear someone play?) After reading the article something caught my eyeI had to take a second look. Unexpectedly Id stumbled across something that clinched it for me. Davey French, lead guitarist for Everclear, was teaching these guitar lessons.  Not just any old music teacher teaching scales and classical music.  No, this was a real live guitar hero.  Touring with a known rock band.  And sharing his love of rock music and guitars with anyone interested and willing to put in the work. Go for it! Yeah, you could probably say I was having a mid-life crisis. But screw it!  You only live once, right?  And besides that, it was five minutes from my house. So I took the plunge at 45 years old.  This wasnt some hair-brained, idea I had that would end up turning into a guitar-turned-coat-rack like the treadmill.  No, I was committed.  This was going to be a lifelong pursuit (I know this is against the instant gratification nature of the Social Media Worlds we now inhabit but very important to recognize if you want to accomplish anything of significant value). That mindset is what helped me stay the course when I hit the eventual plateaus.  Whether working out or music, the principles are the same no pain (work), no gain (cool, awesome, rewards). Live A Rich, Full Life And learning from Davey in particular was incredible.  Hearing his stories about playing for the troops in Iraq, performing on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno (video below), and playing with greats like The Rolling Stones and other iconic rock acts, made going to lessons more than just learning to play guitar.  It was a rich tapestry of experiences that I lived and shared with Davey, a connection that I could never have experienced with an ordinary guitar teacher. After a few years with Davey I moved from the Seattle scene to the San Francisco Bay Area.  Okay, I wasnt really part of the scene but a guy can dream cant he? So by this time my chops were improving.  I didnt suck too badly.  People were willing to listen to me play and not leave the room after two minutes. No, I wasnt rocking the crazy speed-picking, lead guitar riffs on my electric, but I could rock the rhythm guitar parts on dozens of classic rock songs. Plateau Time. Be Open To Side Excursions So whats next?  Time to check out the acoustic guitar genre. I wanted to play more.   And pulling a band together with long hours from my day job made that tough.  I also didnt have the dedication to be a great lead guitar player.  It didnt work well without a band to back you up, especially if you were just average, and I wanted to be able to enjoy playing guitar more often.   Acoustic guitar was that opportunity. So I used every opportunity to play.  I learned Taylor Swift songs and played those for my daughter and neice.  I played country songs, classic rock songs by Neil Young, pop songs and anything I enjoyed listening to and playing and fit my style (yes, I finally had my own style). It was great playing for friends and family when it didnt require much setup just pull out the guitar and start playing. But there was more to come.  Playing was nice, but how about singing along with it.  That way I wouldnt need to have the song playing on my phone or iPod (and learning to sing and play together ups the coolness factor and improves your playing).  So I played and practiced.  And I performed at my company potluck.  And at my parents 50th wedding anniversary.  And played for my daughter when she couldnt go to sleep at night.  That was really fun. But now I wanted even more (it does get kind of addictivein a good way). I had a friend offer to do an open mic with me.  But it didnt work out schedule-wise.  So later I heard of an open mic coming up.  I thought to myself, I should just check it out.  Ill bring my guitar.  And if I get the courage up, Ill do it.  If it doesnt look right then Ill bow out and just have a nice night drinking and listening to music. So the day comes.  I pack up my stuff, hop in the car, and head over to R Place.   I go in and check out the scene.  Talk to the guy running the open mic and ask how it all works.  He offers to get me set up.  So I put my name on the list. And then the longest hour commences.  Im listening to the music and nursing my beer.  But all the time Im running this upcoming performance through my head.  Starting to sweat a little as it is becoming more and more real. And then it is time.   My name is called.  And I get up and walk out on  stage What was it like? It is everything you imagine it can be and so much more.  It was awesome!  Very cool experience with a very supportive group of musicians and bar patrons.  Hell Yes! I was nervous.  But I sucked it up and performed.  I didnt  self-destruct. Looking back Im so glad I took that risk to call up Davey French and sign up for that first guitar lesson. It started a chain reaction of unbelievable experiences that have created so many great friendships and helped me push my limits to consistently achieve more and more.  Not just in music but in all areas of my life. And it would never had occurred had I not picked up that guitar. but theres more. To top it off, a brief snippet of my story made it into the Bob Dylan December 2016 Issue of Acoustic Guitar Magazine yes, Im now in the same rarified air as Nobel Prize for Literature Winner, Bob Dylan ?? Click the picture below to read the article about people picking up guitar later in life. Mike McRitchie, a career strategist from Elk Grove, California, says learning to play guitar in his mid-40s marked the beginning of a series of special events, such as performing an original song at this parents’ 50th wedding anniversary. “If you have the passion for learning, an interest in guitar, and a commitment to keep going, the sky’s the limit,” McRitchie says. “You never know where you’ll end up, but the ride is awesome.” What does this have to do with The Millionaire Mindset? In the The Millionaire Mindset Part 1 you saw that Achievement is built on Passion+ Persistence. Those two qualities provide the fuel that drives you toward success.  But if you arent open to the opportunities and willing to jump right in, youll never accomplish or experience a fraction of what you would have had you had an Opportunity Mindset Opportunity (and the rewards that go with it) presents itself to those who are prepared and willing to jump in with both feet.  You cant always analyze it.  Sometimes you have to trust and say, Yes! Which brings us again to the next step. To be continued… P. S. Want to be notified when Part 3 comes out (and get a free report that will put these ideas on rocket fuel)? Go here to get it now.
