The Last Night of Summer

Here's a secret treasure for you late-nighties: A ritual of mine for more than a lifetime.

Every year, on this night, the last night of Summer, I wait till dark and listen to the song "The Last Night of Summer." Usually a couple of times. And, schedule and darkness permitting, once more before bed.

Weekend Musings: Time to move from Human Resource to Human Response management

Last week was all about Akasa Air escalating the issue of 40+ pilots leaving the airline without the mandatory notice period being served.

JFC I was just watching a film on Netflix about tornados whilst having some lunch, and OMG, I had completely forgotten about the tornado siren in the States...

The sound of it reminded me of when five of us from uni were in a massive park in Michigan on the day we were supposed to fly back to the UK and these sirens suddenly started going off - we had no clue what it was until someone told us it was a tornado warning o.O

Honestly, hearing that again just made my hair stand on end.

So weird how such a sound can trigger such an intense response - thanks brain and body!

Intimidation is fear wrapped in razor blades

To fight fear and intimidation, work to get out of your own way and increase your knowledge.

Fear is an internal response. It's driven by a view of the world/situation and anticipated negative outcomes.

Intimidation is fear plus a perceived, active external threat.

I fear what might be lurking just outside that door. I'm intimidated by the wolf staring right at me.

How does one deal with these natural human responses?

I think with knowledge.

We no longer live in hunter-gatherer times. I’d bet a lot of first world fear is real, but grounded in misunderstanding. Is the CEO really that intimidating, or have you been unable to get to know her yet? The experience of meeting her could your knowledge increase knowledge. Either a) she's not that scary, or b) she is that scary but now you've learned more about what works out doesn't work in communicating with her.

To fight fear and intimidation, work to get out of your own way and increase your knowledge.
