- Real life case studies of successful people who started from zero.
- Tim is offering his products without listening to the client's demands, he is interrupting the client's talk in between and not giving them chance to clarify their demands. He is wasting both his and his clients time.
- Not interrupting in between Not having other thoughts while listening Asking questions after the speaker has finished his talk To be mindfully engaged with the speaker

- No we cannot solely read our customer's emotions by observing the face only. we should also analyze their body movements, their hands, their style of sitting or standing to know their emotions better
- My advice to Bernard would be to showcase his achievements and potential to his seniors and claim credit for the work he has done. He can make the management understand that their decision of promoting the Janine is not in the interest of the company as she doesn't have much experience and she is not a good team person as she likes to take the credit for others' work.

- goals are specific and measurable and thus can be achieved easily
- I normally set daily and week goals related to office jobs. Because they are easily measurable and give satisfaction on achievement
- goals give us motivation to perform and give satisfaction upon achievement
