Optical Illusion? Assumption is not the way...

Here's an interesting little diversion that goes down really well during a training session...Place the following image on a slide and ask participants which line is the longest....

Of course, everyone knows this one, they are both the same length...BUT WAIT!!!

Show participants the next slide, with this image on it...


They are not the same, the top one IS bigger than the bottom. And do you know why? Because I changed it. Things change and we should be prepared to change with them, if our mind is closed to the change and assumes that everything stays the same we have already failed.

Never assume, always leave your mind open to possibilities...

Negotiation Skills

We recently came across this video clip, which provides a clear idea of negotiation skills and how best to use the 'If...then' strategy of negotiation. We thought it was worth sharing...




Or, if you're just looking to have some fun with negotiation skills, try out this video clip...
