We shall talk more about soft skills as well as do’s and don’ts so that one can excel and thrive in their career. I am going to keep it very simple so everyone can implement these tricks. Feel free to chime in and add your views.

1) Be a giver, not a taker:-

There are 2 types of people.

The first type is the taker. These people are constantly thinking about how others can help them. How can they personally benefit and sometimes at the cost of others? They believe that everyone owes them something. They have entitlement issues. Even if they give, they expect some favor in return. They keep counts. This is mainly because they have limiting beliefs and they are insecure within themselves.

The second type is the Giver. These people are constantly thinking about how they can add value to others. How they can help others. Sometimes they even go out of their way to help others. They give just because they are a giver and not because they have hidden agendas. They don’t keep count. When they are helping others, they don’t feel that the other person owes them one.

2)  Be a cheerleader:-

Celebrate the success of other people. Don’t be jealous. Jealousy is a limiting belief and comes from a place of insecurity. Be a cheerleader of people. Genuinely praise others for their qualities. No fake praises, Be authentic in your words and action. You can be authentic in your praise if you are a keen observer. If you observe people, you will find a quality or two in them which you can praise. Whatever goes around, comes back. Your time will come.

3)  Don’t gossip:-

Don’t take part in gossiping. Gossip spreads negativity and ruins the culture of an organization. Keep in mind that people who will talk with you about someone else behind their back will talk about you behind your back.

4) Be fire extinguisher and not a flamethrower:-

In an event of any conflict, try to defuse the conflict instead of adding fuel to the fire. The best way to defuse the conflict is to resolve it like a mature adult. Take a deep breath. Mentally step away. Look the whole issue as an adult instead of a child. Put the ego aside and introspect. Instead of blaming another person first think if you had any role to play in creating the conflict. Make another person feel safe by understanding their point of view. Put yourself in their shoes. Have a pure heart while resolving the conflict. If you did not have any role to play in creating the conflict, first figure out if the other person made a genuine mistake or it was deliberate? Is the mistake due to lack of skill or knowledge or it was an attitude problem? Most of the conflicts happen due to lack of communication. Help them understand the stakes and keep the end goal in mind.

5)  Last but not least:-

Always go the extra mile. With an upbeat attitude, Do whatever it takes plus some more without complaining. Smile and have a can-do mindset.
