Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope this video has been of value to you. What kind of questions do you have about becoming more confident at work and beating imposter syndrome? Please leave a comment - I would love to hear.
Excellent analysis 💜 Sabine i have heard that Co-workers are not your friends so how to build relationships at work to succeed faster than normal as it is said that network is networth ? Could you explain what one should be doing strategically in order to increase value & influence without being trapped in taking unwise steps or staying around losers.. People or experts on this issue have different and contradicting view points some say coworkers are not your friends, some say they can be friends..its confusing so last stop is i believe in your opinion about complex subjects... also suggest some books on 'People skills' that would help me...
Hey Mohib, this is an excellent question. Thank you so much for sharing it. Working on a video to share some perspective. Please stay tuned, happy to share my insights and ideas. To get you started, two all time classics in this field: How to win friends and influence people and 7 habits of highly effective people (habits 4-6)
Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope this video has been of value to you. What kind of questions do you have about finding the career that is right for you? What challenges do you experience along the way? Please leave a comment - I would love to hear.
Outstanding !! Sabine when starting our new job at a service based industry which factors impact the most in terms of earning more money - is it expertise or experience or any other thing ? Also as beginner with less experience how to stand out as unique talent which is demanded by most leaders in their team ?
Thank you Sabine for this wonderful video! Many of the concepts you took up are actively being taught at my university. Examples include System 1 and 2, False Consensus Bias and Confirmatory Bias. A sad, but nevertheless funny, example of confirmatory bias ruining companies that one of my professors mentioned would include a big group SWOT analysis where, for example, the participants would write 'kind, lovely team' as a Strength 😂. I would like to mention that is very difficult for someone who is unaware of an active bias to conciously detect it... However, I have never heard of the Availability Bias before so it is something that I could benefit from noticing in the future. Thank you, again, for this wonderful video (you earned a subscriber) and I hope all the best for you and your channel!
Thank you so much for your kind feedback and your support for the channel, so appreciated. I am glad this video has been valuable. You are so right, it is not that easy to detect and work around these biases - that is why awareness is so key (from my point of view) - once we know, we can actively start to watch out and review our own thinking and sense-making process. Please let me know in case there are any particular topics related to career and leadership you would like to hear about. Suggestions are always welcome.
Thank you so much for stopping by. I am curious to hear - which one of the cognitive biases do you find most challenging to tackle? What works for you when it comes to un-biased/less biased decision making? I would love to hear.
Thank you so much for stopping by. I am curious to hear - what questions do you have with regard to masterung critical thinking? What works for you? Where do you experience challenges? I would love to hear.
Beneficial points ✅ Sabine could you tell - what's the secret to or routines to Never give up attitude ? How some athletes, cricketers from Australia & New Zealand have this mindset of not giving up in tough situations what's the secret & any book suggestions on this topic to adopt those skills..
Hello Mohib, so nice to 'see' you again. How are you? Thank you for your question. You might find the concept of GRIT (book by psychologist and researcher Angela Duckworth) helpful in this regard. GRIT is It the ability to persist in something you feel passionate about and persevere when you face obstacles. I hope this is helpful.
Thank you so much for stopping by. I am curious to hear - which one of the skills resonates the most with you? What questions do you have with regard to skill development for your career success? I would love to hear.
Outstanding advice 💎 Sabine how to create self belief with mental strength after seeing harsh times & continue to grow despite of adversity or unfavorable conditions in career or life ? Does small wins or any goal system help here .. Your book recommendations are awesome could you suggest some on this issue as well ??
Hello Mohib, thank you so much for your kind feedback - so nice to hear from you again. You might want to check the following books: Mindset by Carol Dweck (regarding self-belief), Atomic Habits by James Clear (regarding habits - I absolutely agree with your comment on small wins and this book provides a great overview on how to create systems and habits that support you in achieving small but regular wins that propel you forward). Also, one of my all time favorite books is: The 7 habits of highly effective people by Stephen Covey, specifically habit no 1: be proactive (which basically teaches us to focus on what we can control rather than what is outside of our hands). My best wishes to you.
As a Data Analyst, I personally feel strong with skills 2-5 and I’m trying to develop skill 1 on “Effective Communication”. Vinh Giang has some amazing content on improving communication techniques and one thing he says that I resonate with is “People only perceive you on how well you communicate.” You may be a 10/10 technically but if your communication skills are a 4/10, you will be perceived as a 4/10. I feel like I am able to understand the perspective of others and build rapport but I come off as less certain in my own opinion and recommendations. I hope to demonstrate authority when I speak while at the same time being thoughtful of other perspectives.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, Brandon, and the recommendation. I could not agree more. Communication is such an essential skill on which so many other skills and our reputation are built. It is unfortunate that this skill is not focused on more during our formal education. Great that you have decided to enhance this skill even further as part of your professional development. I am sure it will pay off ... and am curious - are there, by chance, any specific questions that you have in this regard? I would love to hear.
Thank you so much for stopping by. Which of these tips has resonated the most with you? What challenges do you face when communicating with higher ups. Please drop a note ... I would love to hear.
Hi, Sabine. Great video! Just what I needed. It may sound funny but it is very hard finding our real strenghts and you give us new approaches for doing so. Thanks.
Sabine i was out of work for 4 years due to personal reasons taking care of my mother she was not well yet working fortunately she has retired now so how can i start my job search process which points would work in my favour like direct cold call or cold email or posting resume or messaging on LinkedIn ? Also does being very honest direct help me in this case should i first talk about it before they coming to know ? Are there any good books on this subject to know more ...
Hello Mohib, many thanks for your message. Book-wise, I would recommend: What Color Is Your Parachute, there is a 2022 version that provides insights on effective strategies in today's market. I would recommend to be transparent. Don't see being out of work as a liability. Share the underlying rationale and then proactively outline what you have learned along the way that can help you in the new position. I hope this is of help. My best wishes to you.
Will a person successfully climb the ladder further by sleeping with a friend and rely on another friend as the manager when she values FRIENDSHIP and LOYALTY to the USEFUL friends for her career=happiness but no respect or trusts gained from her relationship partner?
Sabine could you elaborate on how to tackle the Nervousness when starting something new or facing obstacles especially in the job search process after a big career gap ? How to thrive in uncertainty/ambiguity & increase our self belief ...
Hello Mohib, thank you so much for your comment and question. Regarding nervousness, I would like to share two ideas with you: 1) I would like to offer you a re-frame/different perspective. What if you don't see it as something to tackle but as something that is your ally in a situation. It's a sign to be at your best, to get prepared ... and to then follow through accordingly. Ask yourself: How would somebody who successfully navigates through the situation behave, what would (s)he think? Typically, it becomes much easier to handle when we are in motion, when we do something and are less in our head just thinking about it. 2) I would like to suggest to explore the idea of a 'growth mindset' and how it can help you venture into something new. Here is a video that you might find useful: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jxzVxIAKJH8.htmlsi=8iNDq3s7KFLDHpNs My best wishes to you. All the best. Sabine

Insightful ! Sabine could you elaborate on- at the early stage of career how to combine our skills and create a rare combination of skills which adds value to another which are both useful in company's growth & also sky rocketing our progress ? I am a hvac design engineer in Aec construction industry, have heard about it skill stacking so was keen to know how is it done properly to work at our advantage..
Thank you so much for your feedback and question. I am glad to hear the video has been helpful. With regard to your question on skill stacking: I would suggest: 1) Think about your professional career goals - where would you like to be in five years? Are you e.g. interested in a specialist expert role, or would are you interested in a managerial function? 2) Research the profiles of professionals who are where you would like to be in the future. Look for job descriptions or profiles of successful professionals in your field to get an idea of the skills in demand. What skills are they using? What skills have helped them to get there? Don't hesitate to seek advice and guidance. 3) What are the current trends, demands, and emerging technologies or areas of expertise? Which skills would be required? 4) Assess the answers to 1 - 3, identify skill gaps. Then, based on your research and self-assessment, prioritize the skills that are most relevant to your goals and in-demand in your field. Focus on those that will make you stand out or fill crucial gaps AND that you are interested in. 5) Some skills that are useful in a broad range of professions: communication, leadership, project management. I hope this is helpful. Please let me know in case you have any follow up question. Best wishes to you.
@@SabineRenner It means a lot 😊 Sabine my big concern at the moment is the job search process which i need to start after 2 months after being out of corporate world for some yrs so hesitant & nervous about performing well in upcoming challenges i am a Hvac engineer in Aec construction industry with 6 months internship knowledge.. could you share some wisdom regarding that how to be employable in competitive market ? How to get hired faster ? stay an achiever despite of wind blowing in opposite direction ? Can Unique identity or skills makes us more Valuable than any other things ? Any book suggestions on this topic would be helpful too ...
@@SabineRennerWhich Job search book would help the most in this scenario to get job after a big gap of 4 years due to personal domestic reasons of taking care of my mom/family.. how should i answer the questions in interview about it without being seen as unprofessional ?
Hello Mohib, thank you for reaching out and for sharing. I imagine that reentering the job market might feel daunting...and would like to encourage you to look at the situation differently. Over the last four years, you learned valuable lessons, built skills, and tapped into your strengths...what if you see this as an ASSET rather than a LIABILITY? I am sure there have been many experiences along the way that could help you make meaningful contributions in the future. Life happens while we build our careers. Instead of justifying what happened, just outline it, share that you are entering a new chapter, and look forward to contributing everything you learned along the way. This shows that you are proactive, that you think about how you can use your strengths and skills to make a contribution and that you are resilient and adaptable. I would like to recommend four videos to you 2 on strengths, how to identify them, and put them to work ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BmXhZLFZDyg.htmlsi=6tmmRrI5LF3eiH6j ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kQ_Dn8PQBEA.htmlsi=rFjSwgD40C-VX-hc 2 on mindset ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kQ_Dn8PQBEA.htmlsi=rFjSwgD40C-VX-hc ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kQ_Dn8PQBEA.htmlsi=rFjSwgD40C-VX-hc My best wishes to you.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I would love to hear your thoughts and experiences: which of these habits resonated the most with you and what tips do you have to elevate your productivity at work?
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed this video. Leave a message and let me know which idea resonated the most with you. I would love to hear.
Can you go further in explaining the assertive responses for the first few situations? I’d like to know “the why” for each response so that I can better adapt this practice and decrease the chance to sound scripted. Thank you for these very helpful tips and topics.
Absolutely, Krystal. Thank you for checking in. 1) Saying no to the requests of others. This is not about saying NO in general, but about being aware when saying YES would stretch us beyond our capacity limits, so that we can ensure that we are able to meet commitments that we agreed earlier on and are able to do so without burning ourselves out. Now, this doesn't mean that we cannot or should not offer a helping hand, but to do so on your terms. ... So you could say 'I am sorry I don't have the capacity to do ... today/this week.' and then add 'The earliest I could do is ...' and then offer a timeline that works for you. 'How does this sound?' Or you could say 'I am not able to handle it completely, but I do have ... time - how could I help you best?'
2) Disagreeing with others: Here, it's important to keep in mind that there is - in many cases - not the carved into stone truth. There are different perspectives and these can and should be discussed transparently and respectfully for the sake of finding the best possible the solution. So it is not being AGAINST somebody else but about OFFERING DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES to serve the overall goal. No need to play down one's perspective.
3) Requesting action: Here, the key, from my point of view, is to check: is the request realistic (or am I asking too much/in too little time or from the wrong person) and to ask respectfully - but that doesn't mean that we add words that make it sound tentative. Also, I recommend to le the other person know the WHY behind your request.
Sabine- Thank you for the investment of your time and expertise. Your responses have provided great insight! I tend to be loquacious, and to embellish my spoken communication with “disarming” adjectives in an effort to decrease the likelihood that I would be/sound aggressive. It has lead to great frustration, as you can imagine! I will keep practicing assertive communication and I will keep you informed of my success! Many thanks- Krystal
