Sukses Komunikasi dalam Karier

Ketrampilan Komunikasi Yg Baik Menjadi Penunjang Sukses Anda Dalam Berkarier.

Apapun bidang pekerjaan yg ditekuni, pastikan anda menjalin komunikasi yg baik dengan atasan maupun rekan kerja. Seperti yg pernah diungkapkan oleh Connie Podesta dan Jean Gatz dalam buku Sukses Berbicara Dengan Siapa Saja bahwa gaya komunikasi yg efektif dapat membantu mencapai keberhasilan dalam berkarier. Jadi bila tidak ingin karier terancam hanya karena dianggap melewati batas, maka jagalah cara pergaulan anda.

Berkomunikasi dengan atasan !!!

Salah satu kunci sukses berkomunikasi dalam karier adalah anda harus menyadari adanya batasan yg berlaku terutama dengan atasan. Berikut kunci sukses komunikasi dengan atasan.

* Hindari cara mengutarakan sesuatu seolah-olah kedudukan anda setingkat.
* Ingatlah bahwa keakraban ada batasnya saat berada di lingkungan kerja.
* Hindari pembicaraan yg terlalu pribadi.
* Biarkan atasan mengendalikan pembicaraan, anda harus bisa mengantisipasinya.
* Sesuaikan selera humor, hindari cerita yg dapat menghina atasan.

Berkomunikasi dengan rekan kerja !!!!

Mulailah memahami karakter rekan kerja anda. Komunikasi yg lancar dengan rekan kerja dapat membantu menyelesaikan pekerjaan dengan baik.

* Beri pujian pada rekan kerja atas apa yg telah mereka lakukan.
* Akui keberadaannya dan hargai kerja kerasnya.
* Hormatilah rekan kerja anda maka mereka akan menghormati anda.
* Sampaikan permintaan tolong anda dengan sopan tanpa berkesan memerintah.
* Bersikap fleksibel, cobalah berempati dengan perasaan dan keadaan rekan kerja.
* Sampaikan kritik anda dengan baik.
* Besarlah hati untuk mengakui kesalahan yg anda buat.

Seorang Pemimpin

Dalam membuat suatu acara, tentu saja pertama-tama dibutuhkan seorang pemimpin dalam menjalankan suatu acara. Pemimpin ini yg akan mengkoordinasikan seksi-seksi di bawahnya dan bertanggung jawab atas keseluruhan jalannya acara. Jadi perlu diingat bahwa pemimpin bukan berarti menjalankan semua pekerjaan, tapi hanya mengkoordinasikan seksi-seksi yg ada.

Janganlah mempunyai pikiran takut gagal dalam memimpin satu acara, tapi berusahalah sebaik mungkin agar apapun hasilnya kita dapat berkata "Inilah yang terbaik !!". Kita tidak dapat terus menerus berpikir " Ahh, masih ada orang lain, biar saja dia yang jadi ketua !!". Karena pasti pada suatu saat nanti suka atau tidak suka kita akan menjadi pemimpin dan pada saat itu kita tidak boleh membuat kesalahan. Sekarang ini semua kesalahan dan kekurangan akan dikoreksi untuk diperbaiki, tapi apabila saat nanti kesalahan kita akan dituntut dan diadili.

Renungkanlah dan persiapkan mental anda untuk menjadi seorang pemimpin yang baik.

Ingat : Tidak ada ilmu yg berbicara tentang bagaimana menjadi pemimpin yg baik, tapi pengalamanlah yg mengajarkannya.

Leadership

The Boss drives his men; The Leader coaches them.
The Boss depends upon authority; The Leader on good will.
The Boss inspires fear; The Leader inspires enthusiasm.
The Boss says : "I"; The Leader says : "We".
The Boss assigns the tasks; The Leader sets the pace.
The Boss says : "Get here on time"; The Leader gets there ahead of time.
The Boss fixes the blame for the breakdown; The Leader fixes the breakdown.
The Boss knows how it is done; The Leader shows how.
The Boss makes work a drudgery; The Leader makes it a game.
The Boss says : "Go"; The Leader says : "Let's go".

The World needs Leader; but nobody wants a Boss

BERHASIL atau GAGAL

Dalam kehidupan ini, apapun yg kita kerjakan selalu mempunyai tujuan. Dan kita rela melakukan apa saja untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut. Tapi pada akhirnya tidak selalu tujuan itu tercapai, karena tentu saja selalu ada faktor-faktor yg menjadi penghambatnya. Akhirnya kita selalu dihadapkan pada dua alternatif sebagai hasil akhir dari usaha kita : BERHASIL atau GAGAL.

Siapa sieh yg ga mau berhasil ?? Tentu saja semua orang ingin berhasil dalam usahanya. Tetapi bagaimana caranya ?? Sebenarnya ada beberapa faktor yg menentukan keberhasilan, yaitu :

1. Kemampuan ..... antara lain kecerdasan yg cukup, bakat, kesehatan fisik, dll ...
2. Minat ..... Rasa suka terhadap usaha yg kita lakukan.

3. Sarana / fasilitas ..... Dukungan keluarga atau teman merupakan dukungan moril yg sangat mutlat, keadaaan "dompet" yg mencukupi juga tak ketinggalan, dll ....

4. Kemauan ...... Ini yg terpenting dari kesemua faktor tersebut, karena tanpa kemauan semua faktor di atas tidak lah berarti apa" .

Seperti kata Thomas A. Edison bahwa : " Bakat hanyalah 1 % dari keberhasilan, sedangkan 99 % lainnya adalah kemauan untuk berusaha. "

Dan apabila anda memiliki semua faktor diatas, jangan lah berdoa. Ingatlah " MAN PROPOSES BUT GOD DISPOSES"

Satu hal lagi yg perlu diingat " Orang yg besar bukanlah orang yg tak pernah gagal, melainkan orang yg setiap kali mau bangkit dan berusaha lagi bila menemui kegagalan "

Pengalaman Kepanduan

Salam Tiga Jari ....

Ada sepatah kata-kata yg pernah diucapkan oleh Baden Powell :
" Pengalaman yg diperoleh dalam kepanduan membantu mempersiapkan seseorang untuk menghadapi hidup ini dengan keberanian dan keyakinan. Seorang laki-laki tidak boleh bersifat pasif di dalam hidupnya. Ia harus mempunyai kepercayaan akan dirinya sendiri. Ia harus berani menceburkan diri di dalam segala hal. Ia akan menemui kegagalan dan kekalahan, tetapi semua ini akan berguna baginya. Adalah tidak berarti untuk hidup tanpa berusaha. "

Bijak Menyikapi Pujian

Orang yg realistis umunya lebih menyukai kritikan dibandingkan pujian. Menurut mereka kritikan bisa menimbulkan kewaspadaan. Sedangkan pujian, salah-salah malah bisa menyesatkan dan membuat terlena. Anggapan ini ada benarnya. Pujian terdengar manis di telinga, namun jika tidak berhati-hati menyikapinya kita malah akan terperosok.

Agar pujian tidak menjerumuskan kita, kita harus pandai membedakan jenis pujian yg datang. Ada 3 macam pujian yaitu : Pujian yg bermakna positif, negatif dan pujian yg tidak bermakna.

Pujian bermakna positif

Pujian yg memang sesuai dengan apa yg kita tampilkan atau terhadap sesuatu yg sudah kita lakukan. Biasanya pujian ini dilakukan oleh orang secara spontan, tulus, dan tidak rekayasa. Jika jenis pujian ini yg datang, reaksi yg bisa kita tampilkan adalah dengan mengucapkan terima kasih dengan tulus. Pujian atas prestasi ini tidak boleh membuat kita terlena. Pujian ini harus diikuti dengan konsistensi dalam meraih prestasi. Bahkan, bisa dijadikan patokan untuk membuat kinerja yg lebih baik.

Pujian bermakna negatif

Pujian yg biasanya kebalikan dengan apa yg kita lakukan. Jangan merasa bangga dengan pujian atas apa yg tidak kita kerjakan. Pujian ini biasany bersifat sinisme, misalnya jika kita datang telat maka Bos mengatakan, "Bagus ...".

Pujian ini juga biasanya berupa pujian bernada kritikan, misalnya, " Hebat, hari ini koq kamu bisa sesuai target, ngga kaya kemaren .. ".

Ada juga jenis pujian yg mengandung "maksud" tertentu, Misalnya kita sebenernya merasa sedang kusam karena kurang tidur, namun ada teman kita bilang, "Kamu cantik dech hari ini ..". Pujian belum berhenti sampai situ, ada kelanjutannya, "Nanti tolong bikinin kopi donk .. ".

Pujian yg tidak bermakna

Pujian ini dilontarkan orang hanya sekear iseng dan sama sekali tidak berkaitan dengan pekerjaan kita. Misalnya, " Ehhh , kamu terlihat beda hari ini", atau, "Kamu terlihat bagus dech pake baju ini". Menghadapi pujian yg tidak bermakna ini, cukup tampilkan senyuman manis.

Agar kita tidak terjebak dengan pujian yg menyesatkan, ada 3 hal yg harus kita lakukan. Pertama, kita harus jeli menyimak pujian yg datang. Cepat tanya pada diri kita sendiri, apakah benar pujian tersebut relevan dengan realitas yg ada. Jangan langsung telan. Kedua, Kita harus mampu menilai diri sendiri dengan kata lain harus peka terhadap pujian tersebut. Ketiga, lakukan cek ulang terhadap pujian yg datang. Untuk ini, kita harus memiliki human relation yg baik, sehingga teman-teman mau memberitahu kita apakah benar itu pujian yg relevan atau tidak.

Jika memang pujian itu relevan dengan prestasi kita, silakan nikmati. Namun jangan sampai terbuai, sombong dan lupa daratan karena sudah merasa puas.

Kissing Tips .....

Let's learn about kissing..
A first kiss should always be done while the two of you are alone. This will help to avoid any unnecessary nervousness and embarrassing situations. The best type of kiss is one that uses different variations, such as starting with a small kiss, working into a French kiss, maybe sucking on your partner's upper or lower lip. And don't just leave kisses to the lips. Kiss their cheeks, their chin or their eyelids. This can be very seductive and romantic.

Basic Kissing

Great Breath - This is very important. Make sure you brush your teeth before going out on your date. There is nothing worse than kissing someone with bad breath. If your date consists of having something to eat before the actual kiss, make sure you have a mint on hand to take right after you finish eating. Don't take the mint just before the kiss or chew on gum. You don't want to have something in your mouth when you kiss.

Moist Lips - You want your lips to be slightly moist when you kiss. Run your tongue over your lips once before you kiss. Don't wear lip gloss because that tends to make the kiss too gooey. And don't wear a lot of lipstick unless you want your partner to wear it too after the kiss. Slightly moist lips makes it easier to move your lips over your partner's and gives both you and your partner a more pleasant experience.

Positioning - Stand close to your partner. As the two of you move closer together tilt your head slightly. If you can see which way your partner's head is tilting, tilt your head slightly in the opposite direction.

Close Eyes - Just before your lips meet, close your eyes. Some people prefer to leave their eyes open during the kiss. But until you know what your partner prefers, it is best to close your eyes.

Open Lips - Open your mouth slightly and place your lips over your partner's lips. Do not hold your breath! Breath through your nose. As your lips meet, press them gently over your partner's. You may wish to move your lips in a slow, circular motion or just leave them still over your partners.

Closed Lips - This is like the type of kiss you'd give your grandma or aunt. Instead of opening your mouth when your lips meet, keep them closed. This is also a good way of letting your partner know this is as far as it goes. It also makes a great hello/good-bye kiss or a great first time kiss if you're nervous.

French Kissing

This is the most popular type of kiss. This involves touching your tongue with your partner's and it can be quite a pleasant experience. There are a few tips to create a great French kiss.

Lips - You may explore different ways of using your tongue. Try running the tip of your tongue over your partner's lips. Do this slowly and gently, just using the tip of your tongue.

Open Lips - Open your lips over your partner's slightly more than you would during a regular kiss. This makes it easier to place your tongue in your partner's mouth.

Tongue - Place the tip of your tongue on the tip of your partner's tongue. Do not force your tongue too far into their mouth. If you wish, you can play with their tongue by circling theirs with your own. Have fun with it. Explore.

Suck Kissing

This can be a very seductive type of kiss. Instead of French Kissing with your mouth open, while your partner's lips are parted suck on their top our bottom lip with your own, just for a second or two. Then go back to another type of kiss or try the other lip.

Nip Kissing

This type of kiss has to be done carefully, but when done correctly can create a wonderful effect on your date. While suck kissing, gently bite their lip, but be VERY gentle so as not to hurt your date / partner. This kiss should only be done with someone that you've kissed a few times before; otherwise you may shock your partner.

Surprise Kissing

This type of kiss is done when your partner is lying down on a sofa or the ground, either asleep or just lying with their eyes closed. Quietly approach your partner and place a small, very gentle kiss on their lips. Intensify the kiss until your partner opens their eyes or awakens.
