Hello, I’m Elaine Kung. We’re so glad to keep learning about how to SHINE Your Talk! We're gonna start looking at some very sticky situations such as your boss overloads you with work, your boss does not recognize your strengths, your subordinate is not performing, your co-worker is difficult to work with, your partner blames you for no reason, you were skipped at the promotion, your ideas were not well received. How to ask for a promotion or for a raise? How to ask for a mentor? All these are very real practical situations and could be sensitive, sticky situations. And then using our Biblical and practical principles, such as in Matthew 10:16, Jesus said: I’m sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore, be as shrewed as snakes and innocent as doves. So I learned from my 33 years of career through all my Bible study, my executive education training and my real world experience, learning how to be shrewed as snakes and innocent as doves. I’m gonna share those skills with you......
