Anneli Blundell
17 February 2015

Anneli Blundell
17 February 2015

Incompetence at work is a necessary part of any developmental journey. A new skill, a new role, a new culture will all spark a fresh set of incompetencies.

Anneli Blundell

Our emotional states are contagious. How you feel in any given moment leaks out into the atmosphere and infects other people.

How judgments drive our behaviour

Anneli Blundell
4 February 2013

One of the ways we can begin to improve our social intelligence and our ability to read people is to firstly understand the mechanics of judgment.
