There’s something to be said of first impressions. They’re made particularly quickly and even before you’ve said anything.

Your time and focus. These… [Read more…]

1. Start analysing the decisions you made and come up with reasons why it was the best decision to make at the time. 2. Be ready to accuse someone else. Have a top 3 of other involved persons to point the blame to. Make sure those top 3 people are meek and mild in their… [Read more…]
