Chapter 365: The Prince’s Speech (Pt. 1)

Weston's Museum of Natural History was packed as the Royal Academy of Science and Technology kicked off its annual conference with a gala event. Most of those in attendance, however, were there to hear the keynote speaker more than enjoy a fancy catered meal.

“Ladies, gentlemen, colleagues,” Dr. Salworth said from behind the podium. “As Academy President, it is my pleasure to officially open this year’s conference. Welcome, and I look forward to spending time with each of you this week and hearing about the fascinating work you continue to do here in Weston.”

Standing backstage, Crown Prince Michael took a deep breath, trying to calm the fear growing within him. The ballroom was full of the nation’s most brilliant and talented scientists, and all of them were here to see him – to hear his words and judge whether he will be a worthy successor to his father.

He ran a hand through his hair, as if it might wipe away the panic he felt. He could save them the trouble. He wasn’t. Not only was he woefully inadequate – as both a prince and a public speaker – but he was growing terrified that he would humiliate himself by being sick before he could get a word out.

His speech wasn’t bad, of course. He’d planned to talk about the growing use of artificial intelligence, and the economic, political and moral issues that technology evoked. But now that he was here, and saw how many people and cameras were there to study and record his every word, he began to think it inadequate. And despite the many hours he’d spent committing the ten-minute speech to memory, at this moment he couldn’t recall a word of it.

“Tonight, I am thrilled to introduce our keynote speaker,” Salworth said, his voice echoing through the museum’s great ballroom. “This young man needs little introduction for those of us who have watched him mature with great interest. Last year, he graduated with honors from the University of Weston with dual degrees in economics and political science, and today works closely with our reigning monarch to solve our nation’s most pressing problems.”

Oh god, Michael thought, running toward the stage door. I’m going to be sick.

“Are you alright, your highness?” the stage manager asked as he passed. “Where are you going? He’s announcing you now.”

“It is my great honor to introduce Crown Prince Michael of Weston,” Salworth said, and a wave of applause filled the room. Cameras flashed as the scientist turned and gestured to where Michael would have entered.         

Yet no one was there, for Michael had already run through the stage door into the back hall and toward the elevator.

“Your highness?” the stage manager called out behind him. “Your highness?”

Greg Schwem | Funny Motivation

Greg Schwem is more than a comedian; Greg Schwem is a motivational corporate comedian. And the corporate world has taken note.  Greg’s take on the 21st century workplace and work/life balance has landed him on SIRIUS Radio, Comedy Central and the pages of Exceptional People Magazine.

More than just a business humorist, Greg is also an author, nationally syndicated humor columnist, TV travel host, award-winning greeting card writer and creator of funnydadinc, voted one of the top Dad humor sites of 2020.  He has shared the concert stage with the likes of Celine Dion and Keith Urban.

A graduate of Northwestern University’s prestigious Medill School of Journalism, Greg never envisioned a career in laughter. Instead, he settled in Florida, becoming an award-winning reporter for NBC-owned WPTV in West Palm Beach. But the comedy bug bit Greg hard and he returned to his hometown of Chicago, where he honed his standup act in nightclubs.

When he began inserting material about business and technology into his act, audience members approached him and said, “You really should come down to my office and tell those jokes.” Behold! A new approach to comedy was born.

Greg’s show provides a hilarious look at today’s corporate environment and the latest tools used to conduct business. Indeed, Greg’s client list includes such corporate heavyweights as McDonald’s, Microsoft, General Motors, IBM, and even the CIA.  “Yes, even America’s covert intelligence community can laugh at itself!” Greg says.

5 Mistakes to Avoid When Dealing with Conflicts within Your Business

Conflict is indeed an inherent aspect of any business environment. How does a conflict steam up? It can arise from diverse perspectives, goals, and priorities among employees, managers, and stakeholders. How can you manage these conflicts to prevent an impact on organizational productivity, morale, and overall success? You can seek expert help for conflict analysis and resolution to achieve the best results. However, navigating conflicts within a business setting requires finesse and strategic thinking. Try avoiding mistakes when dealing with conflicts within your business.

Ignoring Early Warning Signs:

Conflict often begins as subtle disagreements or tensions. If ignored, these warning indicators can worsen and become more critical. By identifying and resolving the warning indicators, conflicts can avoid getting out of control and harming relationships or productivity.

Proactive communication and conflict resolution strategies are vital to nip potential conflicts early before they escalate.

Neglecting to Promote Open Communication: 

Effective communication is essential to resolving conflicts in every professional context. Failing to foster open and transparent communication among team members is another mistake.

When communication is ineffective, misunderstandings can arise, exacerbating conflicts and hindering collaboration. 

Promoting an atmosphere that values candid communication, attentive hearing, and helpful criticism can help avert disputes and make them easier to resolve when they arise.

Allowing Personal Biases to Influence Decisions:

It is easy for personal biases or preconceived notions to cloud judgment and influence decision-making. 

Allowing biases to dictate actions or outcomes can lead to unfair treatment or favoritism of conflicts. 

As a business leader and manager, you must strive to remain impartial and objective when mediating conflict. Pay attention to the facts, the evidence, and the organization's best interests. 

Seeking input from neutral parties, like an experienced mediator, to utilize conflict resolution techniques can help mitigate the impact of personal biases.

Avoiding Difficult Conversations:

Can confronting conflicts make you uncomfortable? However, sweeping conflicts under the rug only delays resolution and allows underlying issues to fester. 

Avoidance can erode trust and transparency within the team, further exacerbating tensions. 

Rather than avoiding tough talks, confront disagreements with bravery and compassion. This can foster a safe and supportive environment for open dialogue and resolution.

Neglecting to Follow Up:

Following the resolution of the conflict, monitoring and follow-up are crucial.  

Failing to follow up on the outcomes of conflict resolution efforts can leave underlying issues unresolved and lead to the recurrence of conflicts in the future. 

Establish mechanisms for tracking progress, gathering feedback, and ensuring effective implementation of agreed-upon solutions. 

Maintaining accountability and preventing problems from returning can be facilitated by continual communication and regular check-ins.

Conclusion

Effective conflict management within a business requires proactive communication, impartiality, and a willingness to address issues head-on. Companies may foster a culture of trust, cooperation, and output. 

Conflict is inevitable in any business environment, but with the right approach, it can be an opportunity for growth, innovation, and positive change. You can make the best move by working with an expert, qualified mediator, Michael Gregory, for conflict analysis and resolution.
