When updating your resume or LinkedIn profile, it’s tempting to use words that make you sound impressive—terms like “world-class” or “team player.” But hiring managers often see those words very differently than you might expect, and they can actually work against you. https://www.linkedin.com/business/talent/blog/product-tips/words-you-should-not-use-on-linkedin-profile-infographic Tipping has become increasingly complicated—and controversial. Requests for tips seem to be everywhere, suggested amounts are rising, and many people feel unsure about what’s appropriate. At the same time, for many workers, tips are essential income. So how much should you really tip? When is it expected—and when is it not? Michael Lynn, professor of services marketing at Cornell University and author of The Psychology of Tipping: Scientific Insights for Services Customers, Workers, and Managers (https://amzn.to/4drNgyH), explains the science behind tipping, what influences how much people give, and how both customers and workers can better navigate this evolving system. There are probably things you’ve thought about doing—but haven’t. Speaking up in a conversation. Making a change in your career. Taking a risk that feels important. Often, the biggest barrier isn’t ability—it’s permission. Dr. George James, licensed therapist and consultant, and author of I Give Myself Permission: Take Risks. Be Imperfect. Live Boldly (https://amzn.to/41fjiqb), explains why people hold themselves back, how those internal limits form, and what it takes to move past them and take action on what matters. You’ve probably heard a driver say, “That motorcycle came out of nowhere—I didn’t see it.” It sounds like an excuse, but there’s actually a real reason this happens—and it’s something every driver should understand. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3482468/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS QUINCE: Refresh your wardrobe with Quince!
