Episode Description

A recent Forbes article published research by the Carnegie Institute of Technology which indicated only 15% of financial success actually comes from knowledge or technical skills. The remaining 85% of success comes from the ability to effectively communicate and negotiate with others, and a lot has to do with body language and habits. We sometimes have habits and act in certain ways that we do not even recognise in ourselves, and these behaviours can have either a positive or a negative effect on the way others see us. It is also easier for us to recognize these certain behaviours in others than in ourselves. Have you ever had a colleague, boss, or co-worker where you said to yourself, “oh I hate when he or she does that” or ”here we go again, I knew she/he would react that way”. Well people could be reacting to you in the same way and you may not know it. This episode explores behaviours that are often recognizable and can impact our careers.
