Christmas firefighting questions

Image
Let’s deal wit a fact as a mediator, I can not rarely come up with a funny topic, but my topics with a high chance can lead into funny and peaceful moments. My today’s topic is the "Christmas firefighting”. Statistics on divorce regularly reveal a spike in the number of people separating in the month of January, so we rightly suspected increased tension around Christmas as the last straw. What can we do to prevent tension and conflicts? Let’s take the most critical point! The difference with Christmas compared to the rest of the year is that there is an intense period of approximately two to three weeks which tests any kind of relationships. The present You received a present what makes you understand that they even don’t know who you are?  You should ask yourself the following Christmas firefighting questions: Did I give chance for this people to understand what I am wishing for? If the answer yes: you can still try to have more direct discussion next year. If it won’t work jus...

The silent tea set

Image
Despite struggling with constant fatigue, Kata visited her mother today, as she did every day, after she closed their craft bakery. It was always reassuring to come in. In response to the knock, her mother's smile came from across the window, and within seconds the door opened. After she had spent her entire childhood then her diligent years in the bakery, her legs couldn't take her   so far anymore, bur she really missed the bakery, so she couldn't wait for Kata to report every day what had happened at the bakery and the shop.   - Come on, tell me! Were there any queer shoppers today? - There was really nothing worth mentioning today except this new bundle of orange honey nuts. Come, taste it, and tell me your opinion! They sat down at the kitchen table and her mother opened the package hiding the novelty with sparkling eyes. She took a look, smelled it, and finally bit it, closed her eyes, and tasted it. - I was expecting the taste of lemon peel, but that taste hurled m...

Ceppről cseppre a Szerbia kompatibilis családi verziónk felé

Image
Hogyan építettük fel cseppről-cseppre a Szerbia kompatibilis családi verziónkat? Néhány költözést követően kialakult egy saját költözési rutinunk, prioritási listával egybekötve - ami folyamatosan változik, hisz a gyerekünk korosodik. Természetesen a lista elején szigorúan azok a dolgok szerepelnek, amiről nem vagyunk hajlandóak lemondani.  Az első számú teendőnk miután meghoztuk a döntést, hogy valamilyen ajánlat miatt érdekes lehet számunkra országot váltani, hogy ellátogatunk abba a városba, ami átmeneti otthonunkká válhat. Helyi idegenvezetővel bejárjuk a várost, meglátogatunk néhány iskolát, megismerjük a helyi ingatlan kínálatot, tájékozódunk a közbiztonságról, az egészségügyi ellátásról, illetve a boltok választékát is mustrára vesszük. Mindeközben figyelünk arra a bizonyos belső hangra, de legalábbis az érzéseinkre. A látogatás utolsó estéjén egy kellemes vacsora keretében megosztjuk egymással a benyomásainkat és konklúziót vonunk le.  Ez Belgrád esetében a következők...

Drop by drop our Serbia compatible family version

Image
How did we build our Serbia compatible family version drop by drop? After a few moves, we developed our own relocation routine, including a priority list - which is constantly changing as our child grows. Of course, at the top of the list are all the things what we are not willing to give up. Our first task on our to do list after having decided to accept a job offer in some other country is to visit the city that might become our temporary home. We prefer to discover the city with a local tour guide, the trip includes the visiting of some schools, learning about the local real estate market, finding out more information about public safety, health care, and taking a look at the selection of shops. In the meantime, we pay attention to our inner voice, but at least to our feelings. On the last night of the visit over a pleasant dinner, we usually share our impressions and make a conclusion. In the case of Belgrade, this was as follows. We didn't have high expectations when...

Adopt me because I adapt well - techniques for Generation Z to prevent workplace conflicts

Seriously, what's wrong with being in online game with my buddies the whole night before the university entrance examination? I have prepared for the exam, why my parents can't get it that this is important to me? Such and similar situations make you feel that your parents just don't understand you and your need to become independent begins to grow.   Slowly the time will come to find a job and to be independent of your parents. In fact, I think what happens is that with new job, you also get a new family in addition to the existing one. No worries, if you are aware of a few basic things you can manage your new family with almost no disagreements.   Welcome aboard, Generation Z. What do you need to know to reduce the number of the workplace conflicts caused by generational differences? Before looking into what I mean by getting a new family let's take a quick look at two areas that are important to get the right job response and have been heavily influenced by your f...

If cats could give advice on how to maintain our mental balance

Image
As a mediator, one can sometimes feel isolated, after all confidentiality comes first, there is no room to share your concerns. This is compounded by a relatively common negative atmosphere, as disagreements rarely tend to be positive. Where can all this lead? In a long run, feeling unfocused, ungrounded, empty or despondent. And then we can say that our mental health has been shaken. Is this necessary the case? Is this really the end of this profession? Is there a possibility of prevention? Let's see the cats! Why cats? Because they're pretty lonely such as mediators are, but they look always balanced. What is their secret? Morning wake up always starts with stretching . Then there may come a little bit of licking, that's how they dress their best suiting outfit, adjust their hairstyle and correct their makeup. Have you ever seen a cat who had not been happy with its appearance ? If we have already touched the outside, let's turn to the internal values as well. I bet y...

A pasticciotto igazsága

Image
Frantisek napjai másról sem szóltak csak a munkáról és a továbbképzésekről - elhivatott volt és maximalista. A megszokott rutinos kis élete azonban fenekestül felfordult, amikor a főnöke behivatta magához és megbízta őt az olasz részlegük felvirágoztatásával. Egy évet kapott Rómában, hogy megmutassa mire képes. A küldetés végén vagy jelentős előléptetésre számíthat, vagy nem lesz jövője a cégnél - a kockázat magas volt. Talán éppen ezért a mi célratörő Frantisekünk teljesen felvillanyozódott, magával ragadta a dolce vita láz. Egy év fizetett vakáció, hiszen a munka amúgy is csak szórakozás!  Már pörögött is a fejében az elintézendők listája: beszerezni, bepakolni, albérletet keresni, bankszámlaszámot nyitni, kiadni és ehhez hasonló ügyes-bajos teendőkkel töltötte a szabadidejét az elkövetkezendő hónapban. Frantisek minden percet szeretett hatékonyan tölteni, ezért miután pénteken a prágai irodában lezárta a laptopját egyenesen a repülőtér felé vette az irányt, ahol vett pár doboz ...
