Talk's to watch before a job interview

The speaker is a neuro scientist by training and he know how the brain reacts under stress. It releases cortisol that raises your heart rate, it modulates adrenaline levels and it clouds your thinking. Furthermore, he speaks about premortem and post-mortem. Premortem is about someone comes and try to figure out what went wrong, whereas post morten is about you think ahead and you try to figure out all the things what could go wrong, and then you try to figure out what you can do to prevent those things from happening, or to minimize the damage.

The speaker is trying to talk about what do we suppose to in  a situation of pre mortem. Now, this sounds like common sense, and it is, but there's a lot of science to back this up, based on the way our spatial memory works. There's a structure in the brain called the hippocampus, that evolved over tens of thousands of years, to keep track of the locations of important things -- where the well is, where fish can be found, that stand of fruit trees, where the friendly and enemy tribes live. I think the important point here is recognizing that all of us are flawed. We all are going to fail now and then. The idea is to think ahead to what those failures might be, to put systems in place that will help minimize the damage, or to prevent the bad things from happening in the first place.

First and foremost, there is no compensation to be claimed if bullying is found to be occurring,” he told  HC . “The only order you can get is that the bullying behaviour ceases. “Secondly, the definition of bullying is relatively narrow, which makes it hard to make a successful claim.” The Fair Work Act defines bullying as repeated unreasonable conduct that has the potential to cause a health and safety risk.

  Stronger core value helps the given employee a shared sense of commitment, it also allows them to rally behind a united cause. It also helps the business to identify the integrity of the employee.
