A Person To A Professional
Recession, slowdown, increasing competition, high expectations, performance pressure, and a lot more (sorry if I haven't mentioned the one bothering you), are just compelling beginners to set themselves under strain. Yes, time is demanding and no doubt that you have to prove to be the Best yet there is nothing to be frustrated about.
If your boss seems always in hurry and gives you no time to improve, then it's not that he has personal grudges against you, he is forced to do so. He has no time to endure mediocre results and believe me tomorrow you will be in the same situation because, with the rapid pace of competition, no one is actually allowed to walk slowly. So I also speed up the discussion and come to the nucleus of the topic picked. if you are looking for this job opportunity not good then change immediately.
Identify yourself: Relax I am not saying that you don't know your name, but have you ever introspected with your own strengths and weaknesses? No? Then start now, first thing is to identify your uniqueness that may set you ahead of the crowd. Delight yourself for the things you can do and make a difference. At the same time jot down the traits that need to be worked on. Plan a strategy and push them off from your persona. This introspection will definitely help in balancing your approach and set long-term goals.
Mantra: Honest knowledge of oneself is more powerful than any other knowledge.
Simplify the Issues: What all you had to listen to from your boss for nonperformance? Are you remembering those harsh words and tones? Stop it. Simply just take out the gist of the instance. There must be a simple and straight fact that "you have not achieved what was expected from you" Again try to simplify the reasons behind this "not" there must be a mixture of lame excuses and genuine issues. Now just throw out the lame excuses (forever) and analyze the remaining. Use your strengths to solve these issues or discuss the same with an experienced professional (who else is better than your boss?)
Mantra: Always there are sales made and sales lost.
Effective listening: Do you always hear with ears only? Next time use your brain as well, after all that is the safest store to keep important things. Most of us listen but few of us actually listen. Pay hundred percent attention to the said and then draw out conclusions. There is a big difference between said and half said, so fix yourself to completely said. If needed make a note of important.
Mantra: Listening is an art to master if you dream to be a master.
