We are at least 75% responsible for how others treat us. Our verbal and nonverbal cues display to others the level of interaction we want. These communication patterns make our lives easier, but also leave us vulnerable. A person known to avoid conflict will often find themselves in situations where they feel forced to back away. This is why individuals – especially those who work in highly political environments – need a repertoire of replies and comebacks at the ready for any situation. The author provides seven tactics one can use to build a collection of responses. When we break out of predictable patterns, we take back control of how others treat us.
A new survey finds most of our workplace conversations are about politics, personal health matters and relationship issues. Here are eight questions that can help you avoid broaching taboo topics at work.

When Netflix executives wrote a PowerPoint deck about the organization’s talent management strategies, the document went viral—it’s been viewed more than 5 million times on the web. Now one of those executives, the company’s longtime chief talent officer, goes beyond the bullet points to paint a detailed picture of how Netflix attracts, retains, and manages stellar employees. The firm draws on five key tenets: Hire, reward, and tolerate only fully formed adults. Ask workers to rely on logic and common sense instead of formal policies, whether the issue is communication, time off, or expenses. Tell the truth about performance. Scrap formal reviews in favor of informal conversations. Offer generous severance rather than holding on to workers whose skills no longer fit your needs. Managers must build great teams. This is their most important task. Don’t rate them on whether they are good mentors or fill out paperwork on time. Leaders own the job of creating the company culture. You’ve got to actually model and encourage the behavior you talk up. Talent managers should think like businesspeople and innovators first, and like HR people last. Forget throwing parties and handing out T‑shirts; make sure every employee understands what the company needs most and exactly what’s meant by “high performance.”
Passive-aggressive can easily be the symbol of our society today. Clinicians characterized the symptoms as Deliberate inefficiency, avoidance of responsibility and a refusal to state needs or concerns directly (tell me you that doesn’t define 90% of your students…). The reason this behavior (psychologists differ on whether it qualifies as a personality disorder) is so common these days has a lot to do with the head-spinning speed of advances in technological development, constant change of social traditional roles and fear of an uncertain future. Passive-aggression might be difficult to define, but we usually recognize it when it’s directed at us. Passive-aggression is culture-dependent. Some cultures have more passive-aggressive behavior than others and many of these cultures are English speaking countries. This makes it necessary to explain and teach this behavior to ESL students. This lesson will help your students translate common passive-aggressive language and recognize what passive-aggressive behavior looks like. This lesson contains: ♚ What is passive-aggressive? ♚ Why is it difficult to identify Passive-aggressiveness? ♚ Passive-aggressive examples in speech ♚ How is passive-aggressiveness enhanced by our modern culture? ♚ Passive aggressiveness in the workplace and how to deal with it. ♚ How to recognize a passive-aggressive partner ♚ Are YOU passive-aggressive? ♚Translating passive-aggressive email language.

Thank you! ******************************************************************************* IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON BUYING THIS PRODUCT, PLEASE READ THIS: The products in this shop are all produced by me, a dyslexic teacher (hence the name). I’m painfully aware of what seems to be a very poor judgment of career choice on my part, and to be honest, a large part of this choice was to stick it to Mrs. Jacobson that said that there’s no place for the likes of me with my “pretend excuses” for misspelling every third word, in any self-respecting educational institution, so naturally, I had to become a teacher. For more than 25 years I’ve been teaching ESL adult classes and cross-culture business classes, and much like other challenged individuals who go through life with one hand tied behind their backs, I try to make up for what I lack in the spelling department with hours of research, high-quality graphics, humor, passion, and love for what I do. The fact that I can actually do this job is first and foremost a testimony of open-mindedness (or desperation brought on by the long economic recession) of the schools that hired me over the years despite my very evident drawback, by the parents that tolerated grammar mishaps and most of all by my beautiful students who have learned to “always double-check their teacher” and have come up with the sweetest, most heart-warming and diplomatic ways of pointing out my spelling errors (putting to great use their newly-acquired conditional capacity: “I’m not sure, but, I think I might have spotted…”) Over the years, I've personally contributed to the economic success of countless computer ‘correcting program’ available on the market (you're welcome Grammarly) and on top of that my lessons are proofread by wonderful, kind (and slightly horrified) TPT teachers, BUT there are always some errors that slip by us (mostly because I keep messing with the lessons after they've been proofread). If you feel offended by the existence of spelling errors in what is supposed to be a teaching tool or if you, much like Mrs. Jacobson, think the dyslexia is just an excuse not to try harder THEN THIS PRODUCT IS NOT FOR YOU! For all you tree-hugging, open-minded individuals, who are looking for challenging, original material for your conversation classes and can see beyond the possible grammar errors (maybe even use it as a teaching opportunity “An extra point for the first student who can spot the obvious grammar error that I always tell you never to make”. Plus, you know that wonderful, warm, superior feeling you get when you catch a colleague’s error - well these moments are included with the product – no extra charge) THIS PRODUCT IS DEFINITELY FOR YOU! All my lessons are in an editable PPT format and you get a free product if you send me the errors to correct. I hope this product delivers everything you hoped for and more. ****************************************************************************************** Thank you! WISH YOU ALL A WONDERFUL AND SUCCESSFUL YEAR!
