Sports contract renewal

Sports contract renewal

You are a sports agent and represent a top player.
Your client's contract is up for renewal and the company wants to stop the sale royalties. You visit the company head quarters and are in negotiations with the head marketing.
While the discussions are in progress, the company chairman walks in and comments
" this is outrageous. He is making ten times of what I am making, and I am the chairman."
The room went silent.
How you will respond to the situation?

Deliberate practice improves our success in an interview

Practice is the act of carrying out an activity again and again, to gain mastery over an activity. Psychologist Professor Anders Ericsson coined the term deliberate practice. Talent is important but it is the deliberate practice which makes an ordinary man into extra-ordinary person.

Deliberate practice is purposeful and systematic. You need to have a specific goal, stay focussed, avoid distractions, follow a regular practice schedule, and step up the game in terms of tougher challenges, enable correct feedback to build and gain mastery. Breaking down a task and improving small chunks through regular practice with immediate and correct feedback helps hone the expertise. Deliberate practice is learning by doing and stepping into an uncomfortable zone.
