The Coronavirus is Coming for You (part 2)

Economic output has been halted in an attempt to battle the COVID-19 spread

Sorry to write again about the ongoing worldwide clampdown against the spread of the Coronavirus.

My inbox is filled with this topic, and likely yours is too.

In my recent post The Coronavirus is Coming for You (March 3rd) I wrote how the largest impact to most of us would be the economic impact.

And with the widespread closings of schools, restaurants, conferences, and large gatherings of all types, this seems to be holding true.

What we’re starting to see is people are asking questions like this:

Homeschool Routines Win

Why we’re doing the opposite of the home-learning advice we’ve heard

I feel like a hypocrite to write this, because my last few days have been anything but productive or systematic. There have been heavy sicknesses here however (Strep for two, plus an ear infection for the youngest). My family is now recovering fine and last night we got our first night of sleep! The rest of this info holds true even if I’ve not been a shining example…

Humans don’t always have the best understanding of what we want, or how to get there.

The Coronavirus is coming for you (Part 1)

There’s a global panic right now about the Coronavirus, also known as COVID-19.

While the illness is real, we have very little factual data about the illness or its spread.

For starters, there’s an indication this isn’t actually a virus — antiviral medications aren’t making much of a dent.

Lent me get comfortable

Photo “O Cristo Redentor” by Jorge Láscar, Flickr, CC-By-2.0

Today is the first day of Lent, the Christian observation of the 40 days before Jesus Christ’s resurrection, marked by Easter.

The Catholic Lenten tradition* involves some sort of fast or abstinence from a pleasurable activity during these 40 days, as a minor attempt to understand the struggle of Jesus’ final days and to build our self-restraint in a world bent on pleasure and external happiness.

*(I can’t speak towards other Christian traditions.)

Looking around, it’s evident that most people shun the idea of self sacrifice as improvement.

Where should you sit?

Business meetings are often held at a table or desk. One side of the negotiation (or argument) sits on one side of the table; the other side of the negotiation sits… on the other side. (amazing insight, I know)

If business is war, then the negotiation table is the battle field.

But good negotiations don’t have to be a battle. In reality, they should be a collaborative approach to problem solving.

Here are a few tips to improve your influence… just based on where you sit.

How to Become a Rainmaker
by Jeffrey J Fox

Famous advertising man Claude Hopkins wrote in his book My Life in Advertising that his desire to go into sales was an effort to graduate from the debit class.

In his administrative position, Hopkins recognized that he could only make so much money if he drew a company salary. To graduate from the debit class, Hopkins had to produce income for his employer.

Hopkins became a very successful rainmaker, bringing in the magical rain —money— that allows a company to grow.

Not all sales people are rainmakers… but they could be. You could be.
