Did you know that effective communication is so important in business that even a group of penguins couldn’t function without it? That’s right, they communicate to hunt for food and survive in harsh environments. And if they can do it, so can your team! One way to improve your communication is by using the transactional model.

Even with the most cohesive teams, occasional conflict is all but inevitable. Statistics show that 85% of employees experience workplace conflicts.

By dealing with these conflicts proactively, you’ll be able to maintain a more positive working environment and boost productivity in the process.

Having said that, brain health can be improved or maintained with quality brain food, increasing productivity as a result.

No one likes problems, especially at work. However, they’re part of our everyday work routine. If you take a look at job ads online, many of them will list “problem solving techniques” as a necessity for the job role. The truth is that every job in the world requires the art of problem solving. From managing tasks to managing people, we don’t like feeling stuck, at work or outside of it.

We’ve all been there. Sitting at our desks, staring at our computer screens, trying to get some work done but finding ourselves distracted by endless time wasters. Whether it’s checking social media, reading random articles, or just staring blankly into space, there are countless ways to waste time at work.
