Absolutely, incorporating empathy and optimism has been a game-changer for me. I make it a point to actively listen by asking open-ended questions and genuinely engaging with clients' concerns.

smart

Honestly, while empathy and optimism sound great in theory, I find them overrated in practice. Clients primarily care about results, not warm interactions. Being overly empathetic can sometimes blur professional boundaries and lead to clients taking advantage of your goodwill.

smart

Some people are naturally better at this than others. I feel like it is kind of a play to your strengths topic. You have to have all of those things in some sense, but it just kind of comes down to the person on both sides of it. You have to be able to deliver and understand what the people want if you are going to get anywhere.

Help- my FBIL is refusing to rent a tux for our wedding because he already owns one. It is a different tuxedo. We would like everyone in the same tux, which I don’t think is crazy to ask for? It’s not a financial issue and it’s not some sort of weird style. 11 other men will be in the rental, it will be obviously different. We’re paying a lot for formal pictures and while this isn’t a tragedy by any means, it is upsetting to my fiancé and I, especially as we ALWAYS go with everyone else’s flow.

Right so here’s a bit of a dilemma I work to a much higher standard at home and it’s this high standard that means I’m in line for a promotion. I’ve grown so much and I feel really strong in my role I’m also busier than ever. The problem is we’re going back into the office and I don’t want to go in if it’s just going to be senior management in asking me to get them lunches for client meetings or fetch a glass of water and cutlery for meeting rooms. Definitely not ready to go back to that….

Hi everyone,

I'm going for a role for Account Director and have gone through the interviews with the head of accounts, BD as well as the ECD's. I received the following email at the end of the day:

"You are one of two candidates in the final round.

One thing we haven’t spoken about are your salary expectations. Could you have a think and let me know early next week as well as your employment status (residency permit)."

What would be the best way to answer this response? Appreciate the help
