4 CASE Broadcast November 2020 - The Power of NO!

Welcome to the November 2020 CASE Broadcast.

The POWER held in that short little word NO!

In this episode, Mel & Pat discuss the book of the month.

Discussion: The Book The Power of No.

“You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time”.

Attributed to the poet John Lygate and President Abraham Lincoln, though some say Abe never actually said it?

People-pleasing can be one of our greatest weaknesses.

Know and understand why you are doing something, the real purpose. Note the focus of someone who wants to be a doctor when they are young, they understand why they are getting educated and focus on it.

We have a schedule, make it and guard it. Items on a list will never get done until they are planned into a schedule.

Fail to plan and you plan to fail.

Do not overload your schedule. Give yourself enough time, yet, only enough. Not too long either.

Be quick to make decisions and slow to change them.

Being "Busy" has become some sort of badge of honour to be worn with pride.

Perception - How is busy seen?

1. Rude - we are busy too

2. Struggling - poor management.

3. Too busy - we won't recommend you, we don't want to kill you... Also we don't want YOU to let US down.

Saying "bye, bye, bye, bye...." and "busy, busy, busy" - think what message are you sending?

Power over the phone. Switch it off when you are in a meeting. If you answer the phone during a conversation you devalue the person you were speaking to.

Technology is our creation and we are the master.

We should not become enslaved to our technology.

REMEMBER - Feedback with the word of the MONTH (in the broadcast) in your review or comments below for a chance to win a prize.

Along with some additional banter, fun and even the chance of winning some prizes you need to ask yourself the question, "Why wouldn't I listen to the CASE Broadcast?"
