10) Provide
non-judgmental spaces for people to share issues, concerns or
conflicts...often, people need a little more support during these times.
9) Be an active listener and try to give people your utmost attention --
you get clarity and build the relationship.
8) Understand your own needs, the top 2 priorities of your boss and the
needs of your family and friends -- a lot to juggle
7) Be sure to give yourself some "cave" time...reflection is
good and silence is not dead air, it is time to connect with the self.
6) Stream-line the ego
5) “Give and Ask, don’t Take and Tell” – Dave
Gerber
4) Think interest-based: Consider other people’s needs and underlying
interests
3) Improve our personal “state creation,” or the
ability to bring about a new emotion on command – Avoid getting emotionally
hijacked
2) “Prioritize the most important aspects of
your life first, the others will find their way like sand filling a bucket of
stones” – Dave Gerber
1) Get started on food and exercise resolutions
early, that way there won’t be as much pressure after the first of the year
because you are already in it!
