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...

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.

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...

A pasticciotto igazsága

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 ...

Tourist Behavior and its Impact on Service Quality

Image
The holidays are our precious times of the year. When it comes to planning our holiday we take into consideration all our dreams, needs and we try to find out the perfect match, the only limit is our budget.  Tourism statistics shows that on our holidays we prefer to experience something different to our own culture. The reason behind is that if you live in cold, grey climates for most of the year and work hard at material pursuits as a release, they are periodically tempted to transfer to cultures, seduced by better climates, tastier food, exciting sounds and movement, lights, exquisite architecture, spectacular scenery and sensual environments. After destination is chosen, comes the excitement, the preparation period. So we often make efforts to learn some basic sentences to be able to communicate on our holiday with locals. But what about basic knowledge of local manners? According to psychologist Albert Mehrabian, of the total meaning of a spoken message, 7% comes from ...
