We always think the waves define the ocean, but we forget about the huge amount of water underneath. Now imagine you being an ocean. Emotions, stress and painful situations are only waves that come and go from time to time. They don’t define your life and they for sure don’t define you.

🧐 FAQ: How did you know which career/company you wanted to work for after college?
As a business/econ major, I knew I wanted to work for a big-name company for better training, opportunities, benefits... as for work function, I was more open because I tend to learn fast, and I was just starting out with no prior experience.Ā  I also liked to see where the previous graduating class went to work for.Ā  Of the classmates I admired most, where did they end up and do you see yourself doing something similar?

šŸ’¼ Work Tip #4: Don’t underestimate the (power of the) pre-meeting.
Have an important meeting coming up, where you need to wow a lot of people?
Meet with each attendee in advance.Ā  It could be you and the attendee, or you and your boss with the attendee.Ā  Thus theĀ ā€œpre-meetingā€ orĀ ā€œpre-readā€.Ā  The purpose is to get their early reaction and advice, so there are little to no surprises or pushback at the actual meeting.Ā  Keep revising your presentation until it meets their expectations.
Then, wow everyone the day of ⭐🌠✨

šŸ’– Love Tip #3: Love them, love their ā€œcircle of trustā€.
ā€œCircle of trustā€, if I recall, is a term coined by the highly intellectual, highly serious movie Meet the Parents.Ā  The circle of trust can mean family and friends that your partner has chosen to be close with, and trust.
When you love someone, you should also show attention toward their circle of trust.Ā  Address them by name, ask how they have been, remember their bdays, and if you feel up to it, send a card or small gift that made you think of them šŸŽ šŸ’ šŸ¾

šŸ’¼ Work Tip #2: How to run a good meeting.
Before the meeting:
- Send an invite with a reminder.
- If people don’t know what the meeting is for, include a list of discussion topics.
- If people will be resistant to the topic, first meet with them individually and agree on an outcome (sometimes, this is called aĀ ā€œpre-meetingā€).
During the meeting:
- Thank everyone for joining.Ā  Make introductions if there are people who don’t know each other.
- State the objective upfront.Ā Ā ā€œWe’re going to be discussing x... and making a decision on y.ā€
After the meeting:
- Email a recap with the general consensus: ā€œWe decided that z...ā€ and action items with people and dates:Ā ā€œJess to provide updated distribution by Friday 8/21.ā€

šŸ’– Love Tip #2: Be real, not dramatic.
Upset at your partner?Ā  Give them space, but also give them chances.
In my first relationship, I remember being annoyed at something minor.Ā  And I would text with one word responses likeĀ ā€œKā€ orĀ ā€œcoolā€.Ā  So cold, I know.Ā  In retrospect, that didn’t help things at all.Ā  I should have started a real conversation withĀ ā€œabout last weekend... I was so nervous meeting your parents, and it seemed like they were nervous too.Ā  But, when they said I was [negative trait] behind my back, I felt like that was a snap judgment.ā€
And, depending on how your partner responds, that could be a saving grace or a red flag.Ā  Needless to say, I’m no longer in that relationship.

šŸ’¼ Work Tip #1: Watch your tone & try to use the positive version of everything.
So instead ofĀ ā€œI can’t get it done todayā€ āž”ļø sayĀ ā€œI’ll have time to review it tomorrow / next weekā€
ā€œSorry, my mistakeā€ āž”ļø Ā ā€œgood catch, please see updated versionā€
ā€œYea no problem / no worriesā€ āž”ļø Ā ā€œhappy to helpā€
ā€œI don’t think that’s correctā€ āž”ļø Ā ā€œIn my view, the data shows xyz... for my reference, can you clarify why it should be abc?ā€ (just in case you don’t know the whole story)
ā€œThanksā€ (a somewhat transactional phrase) āž”ļø Ā ā€œLook forward to chattingā€ (less transactional, more organic)
