Are you rewarding your people correctly?
We often need to reward our children and team members.
Do we do it correctly. Let us check.
A group of students is given a set of puzzles and then they are divided in two groups.
Group A is prized for their ability and intelligence e.g. Wow, you got x number correct. That is a really good score. You must be good at this activity.
Group B is praised for their efforts. You must have worked really hard on these tasks.
During the next round, the students are given a choice of tasks.
They could choose an easier task or a challenging task from which they could learn a lot. What do you think will be the results?
Which group will choose the easier task and which would choose the challenging task? What are you rewarding your people for?

The interview is a game and practice can boost the performance
Taking time to think and writing an answer to the interview question will help you prepare the script. Writing a response sharpens your thought process and gives an opportunity to review the response and make improvement to the script. You don’t need to memorize the answer.
Thinking through, writing and reviewing the response to the interview questions increases preparedness, boosts the confidence and reduces anxiety. It builds up a repertoire of stories for easy retrieval and you can now focus on delivery during the actual interview. Your confidence spirals upwards with each answer and increases the chances of a better outcome.
Prepare well before the interview. Know the common interview questions. Learn the dos and don’ts. Write, practice and improve your specific response either by yourself or by feedback from a family member or a colleague or a teacher. You will gain mastery through practice.
As they say, if you want to be good at something, then you must practice to learn, and grow.
