Oh boy – here we go. I think I’ve seen three political ads and I’m already DONE. Stop…just STOP. The sad part is – we fall for it or they wouldn’t do it. We eat-up negativity. We search for it and build upon it.

As I read my credit card statement, my eyes bulged. I was being billed for two $5,000 cash advances I had not taken. Then there was a clothing shopping spree in Dallas. Someone had stolen my credit card information and went to town on it. Fortunately, the credit card company absorbed those losses, but they are not unusual. Every day crooks steal the identities of thousands of people, and as a result banks and Internet businesses go to elaborate security measures to protect customers’ identities.

Athletes keep a training log, whether online or in a good old fashioned binder. Some can be as simple as recording the activity, for example, “Ran 10 Miles”. Others might add more information about the weather, how they felt, perhaps their effort level. Some, like me, get into significant detail. I record my cycling events, and include distance, speed, cadence, heart rate, power, calories and elevation.

People often doubt their capabilities and competencies without realizing their hidden potential. When faced with failure, they often limit their minds and rush to the conclusion that they will not be able to achieve anything in future. They often think that most of the successful people are gifted with great traits and that is the reason why they are successful. The truth is that we all have a huge potential, but rarely do we recognize and utilize it. At times, pre-conditioned mindsets and phobias prevent us from achieving success. These are all mental barriers. Great people are not great just because they have extraordinary qualities; they are ordinary people with extraordinary will powers, perseverance and they know what they are good at and explore their passions to achieve the impossible in this world.

I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. - Michael Jordan

It can be hard to embrace mistakes, especially given the unforgiving intensity of today’s media and marketplace. Yet when people are encouraged to admit their errors to one another, they can learn from those mistakes and actually learn to trust their own capabilities and those of their colleagues more. This trust of capability forms the foundation of effective, collaborative relationships – relationships that fuel high-performing organizations. Below, we give 5 ways you strengthen trust in your relationships and drive innovation when you take responsibility for– and work through – your mistakes. And we ask you: How can nurturing a “Mea Culpa” Culture that embraces missteps and misjudgments move your organization forward faster than your competition?

Many organizations and leaders highly espouse transparency and openness in an attempt to improve their organization’s effectiveness. Even though this may be part of what an organization portends to support, the question still persists, “Do they really want to know the truth or do they just want to hear what they want to hear?” Unfortunately, a consultant friend of mine had a poor experience with a leader who said he wanted the truth, but really didn’t.

Soft skills are different from hard skills. It is a new discipline catching up globally as companies realized its importance to improve interpersonal relations to enhance bottom lines. The term, soft skills were referred with different names in the past, and are often mistaken for emotional intelligence, interpersonal skills, communication skills and behavioral skills. In fact, soft skills are all about your personality, attitude and behavior. Soft skills are the way you put across the things in a positive, polite, pleasing and polished manner. They are different from hard skills which are nothing but technical skills and your domain competence. Hard skills are mostly tangible and can be seen while soft skills are largely intangible and can be felt. Hard skills are technical skills and are mostly phrased using nouns while soft skills are people skills and are mostly phrased using verbs. A judicious blend of both soft and hard skills is essential to fast-track your career. Here are some differences between soft and hard skills.

It is to state the obvious to say ‘our world is changing’. What is not obvious is how many of the changes we experience in our daily lives link with others to become major forces and trends of change that will determine much of our future. What is also not so obvious is how our thinking and actions are influenced by systemic and cultural changes, and how well or poorly we not only cope with the changes, but learn from them and use them to our advantage. Moreover, for the sake of our sanity, identity and inner security, what do we hold on to as the firm core of our existence?
