For most people, every day is a struggle, from job losses to dealing with shattered dreams. If you have been following media reports lately, you might have noticed a spike in the numbers of stress-related crimes which have been exacerbated largely by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Be nice and mindful to those who are stressed and anxious.

How To Improve Your Business Value Through Organizational Listening

Listening is one of the most underrated communication skills both at personal and business levels. With the ever-evolving needs and lifestyle changes, consumers have today become more sophisticated and demanding. What this means, essentially, is that businesses must now, more than ever before, pay attention to what consumers want lest they be rendered obsolete.

"In times of stress, the best thing we can do for each other is to listen with our ears and our hearts and to be assured that our questions are just as important as our answers." -Fred Rogers.

Business Tip of the Month

As you’re building your business, it is easy to only focus on the things that are going wrong. Every part of your business has the potential to stress you out and keep you up at night -- lack of sales, too much debt, not enough money, issues with employees, problems with equipment and operations. However, focus on what’s working well and don't overthink the problems. Do what is within your control to the best of your ability. Everything else will fall in place as they may.
