Build Moments of Silence into Your Day

We all need moments of quiet — research shows that silence restores the nervous system, helps us sustain our energy, and conditions our minds to be more adaptive and responsive. To build these quiet moments into your day, start small. For example, you could: Punctuate meetings with five minutes of quiet time. Close your office door, retreat to a park bench, or find another peaceful hideaway. Try “fasting” from news and entertainment by turning your phone off for several hours, or even a full day. And on weekends, go for a long walk in nature. To get the full restorative benefits of these moments, engage in silent meditation or reflection. This might sound daunting at first, but it can be as easy as taking several deep breaths.

Freelancers: Prepare for the Dry Spells

Becoming a freelancer can be liberating — and also a little terrifying. Will you have enough work to make ends meet? In most industries gig work can be episodic, so you have to plan ahead for the dips. Stash away money whenever you can so you’re able to weather any slow periods. Also consider building a network of fellow freelancers who can help you out during those times. When you have too much work to do, pass on the gigs you can’t take to colleagues; hopefully, the next time you’re in a dry spell you can ask them to do the same. And if you don’t have as much work as you want, don’t become despondent, especially at the beginning. It takes time, sometimes six months to a year, to get a consistent cash flow going.

Good Listeners Ask Good Questions

Some people equate good listening with sitting silently, nodding, making eye contact, and, when the speaker is done, paraphrasing what you heard. But these things are only part of what makes someone feel that you heard them. The best listeners go deeper by trying to understand the substance of what the other person is saying. Doing this requires that you ask questions to clarify your understanding and push the other person to better articulate their position, examine any assumptions they’re making, and see the issues in new light. You should also try to empathize with and validate any emotions the speaker is conveying. Once you’ve made sure the person feels supported, you can offer some thoughts and ideas about the topic that could be useful to the other person. Just be careful not to highjack the conversation so that you or your agenda becomes the subject of the discussion.

Identify Globally Savvy Candidates in Your Applicant Pool

Most global companies are looking for leaders who can easily move between countries and cultures, take on assignments abroad, understand disparate markets, and manage diverse teams. But these leaders aren’t always easy to find. Start by looking at the candidates in your applicant pool who have lived abroad, and ask them about their backgrounds. Prompt them to assess and discuss the knowledge and skills they acquired through their experience. Did they launch a business or turn a struggling initiative around? What was the nature and depth of the contact they had with the culture and the people? Did they travel there, live and work alone, manage a team and family? Asking these questions will give you a clearer sense of the candidate’s knowledge of different cultural practices and their ability to understand and communicate with people whose backgrounds differ from their own.

Set Ground Rules for Behavior in Your Next Meeting

It’s helpful to start a meeting by agreeing on procedural rules, like “start on time and end on time” and “put phones on vibrate.” But ground rules that focus on behavior, not just logistics, can help your meeting be even more successful. These rules describe specific actions that team members should take to act effectively. Here are a few to consider:

State views and ask genuine questions. This rule discourages monologues and arguments, and encourages a conversation in which members seek to understand everyone’s point of view.
Use specific examples and agree on what important words mean. You want all team members to use the same words to mean the same thing.
Explain reasoning and intent. This allows members to understand how others reached their conclusions and see where their reasoning differs from yours.
Jointly design next steps. This ensures that everyone is committed to moving forward together as a team.
