What is the ability to work under pressure?

This relates to how you respond when put under pressure. In a work context, pressure can be defined as;

The stress or urgency of matters requiring attention, the burden of physical or mental distress and the constraint of circumstances.

The ability to work under pressure involves dealing with constraints which are often outside of your control - these might be resource or time constraints, the difficulty of the task or having insufficient knowledge required to complete the task, or unforeseen changes or problems. Effective planning and time-management (to mitigate or allow for unexpected problems for example) can reduce the likelihood of some pressurised situations occurring, but will not eradicate them completely.

Why do employers value the ability to work under pressure?

Changes and unexpected events, problems or challenges can - and do - often occur, regardless of how well-planned or organised you are. The ability to respond effectively to pressure and stress is therefore extremely important in any line of work. How you respond will vary from person to person; some people thrive on it and perform better when under pressure, others may panic or become ineffective. It is important that you are aware of how you act in such situations and what steps you can take to improve your effectiveness in such situations if necessary.

Examples of how the ability to work under pressure can be developed or evidenced

Dealing with an emergency.
Overcoming problems or issues to achieve a goal, e.g. losing assignment data or work.
Reorganising responsibilities in a group task if one member unexpectedly drops out.
Managing well when work is unexpectedly busy or short staffed.

Why is this news to us? Our own doctor died...

Rug burns or bruises. These are primarily going to affect the sexual positions you can engage in more than anything else. Just stay off of your back, knees or whatever is causing you discomfort and congratulate yourself for taking one for the team.

Strained muscle(s). As with any other athletic, cardiovascular activity, you run the risk of pulling something. A bit of pain and slight immobility, however, should be the ultimate excuse for being (or staying) on your back. Don’t be afraid to ask your partner to take charge. After all, you should be rewarded for an effort (hopefully) well done.

Head injury. Often the result of banging up against the headboard. Take a painkiller and remind yourself that there’s no need to pull off a porn star routine next time.

Soreness and swelling. Feeling sore and swollen can be an unfortunate consequence for the ladies in particular. This “ouch”—often due to vaginal excoriation (or scraping of the vaginal walls)—can make any type of penetration-related sexual activity pretty much impossible. But don’t let your enthusiasm go unrecognized. This is the perfect excuse for some tender love and care.

Dehydration. You’re burning calories, working up a sweat and losing lots of water. So stay hydrated, especially if you’ve been drinking alcohol and want to avoid a headache.

Urinary tract infection (UTI). Many women end up with a bout of cystitis (also called a urinary tract infection) after serious sex sessions. And they can be crippling, as in, neither of you are seeing any action for the next few days while she’s on antibiotics. To avoid a UTI, a woman should be sure to empty her bladder immediately before and after intercourse. She should also drink lots of water and cranberry juice on a regular basis.

Lower back pain. Whether hurting from the impact or sore from delivering avid thrusts during intercourse, you may feel pain at the base of your spine. If you’re willing to attempt keeping at it like rabbits, try positions that tend to require slower movements, like side-by-side variations. Be sure to also give each other massages, enjoy a hot bath and practice Reiki, a form of energy healing, to help get you back into prime form.

Injured nerves. While the body’s hot spots can withstand a lot, too much direct stimulation of the nerves can be a bit painful at times. Somebody near and dear to me once put herself out of commission the first night of a planned lovefest weekend. Pace yourself and listen to your body and what your lover is telling you when it comes to being direct versus indirect, or too much too soon.

Trouble finishing or reaching climax again. I know some men will think that this belongs in the next section, but this is a perfectly normal reaction to having lots of sex in a short timeframe. A male’s semen level and sperm reserve both go down if he doesn’t give his body time to recharge. Therefore, he may not have the chi for more orgasmic bliss right away.

Decreased vision. People have been known to pop blood vessels in the eyes during sexual activity. These should heal and, fortunately, shouldn’t put you out of commission.

Now, for the more serious consequences of “excessive” sex in a short time span:

Heart attack. When it comes to major negative health consequences from sex, we typically hear about this one. Though a heart attack can strike during cardiovascular activity like sex, it’s actually rather uncommon. If anything, regular, good sex boosts heart health.

[b]Fracture. [/b]While men cannot “break” their member (since there is no bone in it), they can suffer from a fracture. They will usually hear a “snap” or “pop,” followed by immediate loss of erection and swelling of the base and scrotum. They may also notice bruising and experience excruciating pain. Do not have sex until this heals.

I remember like two weeks back when i put up ex-girlfriend memes, guys had a swell time laughing at those pictures. Well ladies, lets have have some fun poking fun at these dudes. Please guys don't hate.

Emotional intelligence (EI) is the ability to monitor one's own and other people's emotions, to discriminate between different emotions and label them appropriately, and to use emotional information to guide thinking and behavior.

Imagine if you couldn't understand when your co-worker is angry or your friend is sad. This ability is referred as Emotional Intelligence. In the simplest terms, emotional intelligence (EQ) is the ability to perceive, control and evaluate emotions. There exist many different schools of thoughts while some give EI importance over IQ and suggest that emotional intelligence can be learned and strengthened, while others claim it is an inborn characteristic.

Peter Salovey and John D. Mayer have been the leading researchers on emotional intelligence since 1990. In their influential article “Emotional Intelligence,” they defined emotional intelligence as the subset of social intelligence. Later Daniel Goleman’s book on Emotional Intelligence described that to be successful EQ is more important than traditional IQ measures.
Emotional intelligence impacts many different aspects of your daily life, such as the way you behave and interact with your colleagues, customers, seniors and family. EQ matters more than our Intellectual ability (IQ) to effectively deal with these stakeholders as it helps in building stronger relationships, achieving career goals and successes at work.
For better understanding we can say that there are two important aspects of EQ
- Your ability to identify, control and express your emotions
- Your ability to understand, interpret and respond to the emotions of others
So now we probably know why people who are academically brilliant still are unsuccessful at work or socially inept or fail at building good relationships. Even employers have now realized that skills like Maths, verbal, and logical reasoning are not the enough to predict the ability of the employees.
While cognitive skills (IQ) can get you in the company, but it is your emotional skills that help you thrive in the job.

So how we can improve our emotional intelligence?

1- Self Awareness- Learn to recognize your emotions, understand their origin and segregate them into strengths and weaknesses. This will be the first step towards understanding your emotions. Your body language, facial expressions and other nonverbal signals gives important queues to understanding emotions. Self-awareness is the foundation to emotional intelligence.

2- Self Management – Here you need to balance your emotions. For example, if in some situations you get angry than make a conscious effort to control your anger or if there are situations where you need to be more assertive than pull yourself to make your point. An important part in controlling your emotions is being able to recognize stress triggers and bring yourself back to calm and relaxed state.

3- Social Awareness- It is about understanding other’s emotions, accordingly adapt and provide response. For example, if your boss is acting angry, it might be because he is dissatisfied with your work; or it could be because he had a fight with his wife. In both these cases your response would be different. Keeping awareness about your surroundings, reaction of people is critical to providing a rational response to the situation.

4- Relationship Management- Effective relationship management can largely define your success at work. So you need to give importance to building relationships, maintain existing relationships and manage conflicts effectively. Be open and agreeable to other’s suggestions, respect difference of opinions, accept your mistakes and show empathy to others. Successful relationship management is the key to building strong emotional intelligence.

slimmy05: Stop stealing. Its a criminal offence copying without crediting source.

You got busted

He is not the owner of the write up. He copied and paste it to look like he did.

This is not right at all..

okay I have seen you

tammmy: Op don't b upset oh can u teach me how to creat a topic on nairaland?

when you open a section, right at the top you will see 'create a new topic'

Ajibel: Thank you. Buh sincerely Ive made attempts to do all that. I just find comfort in being in the background, I dont like much attention... Buh nevertheless, whenever Im being called for presentations, I do it. I just realize I know myself better and these things arent for my kind.

you have to leave the background, it cannot be easy but just small steps. Try reading up materials about public speaking. Practice in front of a mirror. Don't shy away from responsibilities that would showcase you. You may have a lot to offer

Ajibel: Im the shy type and I dont possess some of these skills. So how do I come out of such predicament?

As a shy person try to make contributions in a group or gathering, when there are presentations to be made, don't shy away from it. Try to learn public speaking it will really boost your self confidence

What are Interpersonal Skills?

Interpersonal skills are the life skills we use every day to communicate and interact with other people, both individually and in groups. People who have worked on developing strong interpersonal skills are usually more successful in both their professional and personal lives.

Employers often seek to hire staff with 'strong interpersonal skills' - they want people who will work well in a team and be able to communicate effectively with colleagues, customers and clients.

A List of Interpersonal Skills Includes:

Verbal Communication - What we say and how we say it.

Non-Verbal Communication - What we communicate without words, body language is an example.

Listening Skills - How we interpret both the verbal and non-verbal messages sent by others.

Negotiation - Working with others to find a mutually agreeable outcome.

Problem Solving - Working with others to identify, define and solve problems.

Decision Making – Exploring and analysing options to make sound decisions.

Assertiveness – Communicating our values, ideas, beliefs, opinions, needs and wants freely.


Find out how to improve and develop your interpersonal skills including:

Learn to Listen

Listening is not the same as hearing. Take time to listen carefully to what others are saying through both their verbal and non-verbal communication. Visit our Listening Skills page to learn more.

Choose Your Words

Be aware of the words you are using when talking to others. Could you be misunderstood or confuse the issue? Practise clarity and learn to seek feedback to ensure your message has been understood.

Encourage others to engage in communication and use appropriate questioning to develop your understanding. Our page: Verbal Communication, introduces the subject, you may also be interested in Effective Speech for tips on how to use your voice to full effect and Questioning which can help you encourage communication in others and clarify what they have said.

Understand Why Communication Fails

Communication is rarely perfect and can fail for a number of reasons. Learn about the various barriers to good communication so you can be aware of - and reduce the likelihood of - ineffective interpersonal communication and misunderstandings. See our page: Barriers to Communication for more information. Our page Communicating in Difficult Situations offers further ideas to help you to get your message across when stress levels or other emotions are running high.

Relax

When we are nervous we tend to talk more quickly and therefore less clearly. Being tense is also evident in our body language and other non-verbal communication. Instead, try to stay calm, make eye contact and smile. Let your confidence shine.

Learn to take time to relax, see our section: Relaxation Techniques. Further relevant pages include: Dealing with Stress and Coping with Presentation Nerves.

Clarify

Show an interest in the people you talk to. Ask questions and seek clarification on any points that could be easily misunderstood.

Be Positive

Try to remain positive and cheerful. People are much more likely to be drawn to you if you can maintain a positive attitude. More on Personal Presentation and Building Confidence.

Empathise

Understand that other people may have different points of view. Try to see things from their perspective. You may learn something whilst gaining the respect and trust of others.

Understand Stress

Learn to recognise, manage and reduce stress in yourself and others. Although stress is not always bad, it can have a detrimental effect on your interpersonal communication. Learning how to recognise and manage stress, in yourself and others, is an important personal skill

Learn to be Assertive

You should aim to be neither passive nor aggressive. Being assertive is about expressing your feelings and beliefs in a way that others can understand and respect. Assertiveness is fundamental to successful negotiation.

Reflect and Improve

Think about previous conversations and other interpersonal interactions; learn from your mistakes and successes. Always keep a positive attitude but realise that you can always improve our communication skills.

Negotiate

Learn how to effectively negotiate with others paving the way to mutual respect, trust and lasting interpersonal relationship

Maybe you need to ask your ex something. Maybe she still has your stuff. Maybe his dad is ill and you want to check in.

Before you text an ex, try to honour a month-long “no contact rule” first. When you do send that first text, accept that you may not get a response – or at least not the response you want.

Ten things to never text to your ex:

1. One-word texts. Don’t just text “Hey” or “Yo.” If you have something to say or ask, do so in your initial text. Get right to the point. Don’t put your ex in an awkward spot of trying to interpret why you’re contacting him/her.

2 . Terms of endearment or flirty emoticons. You’re no longer a couple. Avoid using pet names or cute phrases that should be reserved for a relationship. You cannot keep the cute stuff post-breakup.

3. Resentful rants. If you’re upset, tell a friend. Do not text hurtful things just because you’re tired/lonely/drunk and it’s easy to do so. Take the high road into singleness.

4. "Why didn’t you text me back?" "Did you get my message? ” Send one text. If he/she doesn’t respond, accept that contact is likely not welcome yet.

5. Relationship talk. Don’t debrief or reminisce over text. Beyond an initial post-breakup debriefing, which should be done in person, all relationship lessons should be shared with friends and your journal, not the person who broke your heart.

6. Booty-call requests. Never, ever a good idea.

7. “ Thinking of you. ” This isn’t helpful. It’s predictable that recent exes will still be thinking of each other. But once you’re no longer in a relationship, your ex should no longer be privy to your thought life.

8. Sexy pics. See: booty-call requests. Move on.

9. Desperate apologies and pleading. Do not try to win back your ex by begging over text.

10. A second text, and then a third. Once you’ve accomplished what you needed to do – he agreed to give your things back on Thursday, for example – quit while you’re ahead. Be okay with being the one to end the text conversation.

When in doubt, don’t text your ex. Ever.

Mr Aboki: Taaaa Shattap there... APC Prophet..


The Lord does not want Jonathan to contest, but wants Buhari and Tinubu to contest..

Tell the Lord that this is a democracy and not his old testament style of selecting Kings from one family..

If the Lord does not want Jonathan to be president, he should go and register with INEC, get a Voters card and cast his vote for his candidate.

Sadly though, the Lord is an Isreali Jew and not eligible to vote in Nigeria...

Tell the Lord to focus of Isreal and Leave Nigerian Politics alone..
