Realizing Your Love Languages – Nicky Hassaballa

Although I may tell myself that I don’t feed into it or I don’t care, Valentine’s Day is the first thing that pops into my mind every February. It’s not that I need a heart shaped box of chocolates or an obnoxious bouquet of flowers, but it’s more so a reminder that my relationship status in Single. Although Valentine’s Day is only for a day, for the entire month, I seem to wallow in the fact that I don’t have a romantic partner. Many single women will say that they want a nice guy that treats them well and shows them admiration and respect. However, when that type of man crosses our path, we tend to brush them off because they either don’t excite us enough or make us laugh or are not spontaneous and romantic. And so, we constantly feel like we are always back at...

8 Psychological Traps That Can Affect Decision-making – Stella Olivia Kikoyo

Decision-making is very much what we do every single day and almost every moment. There’re two types of decisions – programmed and non-programmed. A programmed decision is repetitive and routine in nature. It is common in organisations and largely automatized, subject to rules and policies. A non-programmed decision is more unusual and made less frequently. Non-programmed decisions are the ones that are subject to biases. The brain cannot give the same energy to the same decision.

Keeney, and Howard Raiffa of the Harvard Business Review’s 10 MUST READS examined eight psychological traps or b...

5 Tips for Courageous Decision Making – Anna Wintour

When it comes to taking risks, Anna Wintour is a firm believer in provoking a conversation, having a strong point of view, trusting your own instincts, and learning from your mistakes. Here are five tips from Anna Wintour on making decisions and taking risks. Expect the unexpected. Anna Wintour’s first American Vogue cover was very different from those that preceded it: The photo crop was wider; the model was not looking directly at the camera; the clothing had a casual sensibility, mixing a Christian Lacroix couture top with Guess jeans. In other words, it made a statement and spoke to what Anna wanted to convey, which was that fashion can be accessible, spontaneous, and fun. Ironically, that particular photo was never intended to be a cover. But as soon as Anna saw the image, s...
