A Federal News Network survey of nearly 1,200 respondents found by and large most employees are  enjoying their time teleworking, though most were mixed on whether their agencies would expand  or more fully embrace remote work programs in the future. When asked to describe all the lessons they and their coworkers have learned while teleworking, 81% of federal employees said they enjoyed not having to commute to the office, 76% said work is what they do, not where they do it and 58% said they were impressed by the tasks they were able to accomplish remotely.

And it comes only days after the Senate Intelligence Committee advanced Ratcliffe's nomination along party lines. Sean Davis @seanmdav: Ric Grenell was so devastating to the Deep State and congressional collusion hoaxers that they fast-tracked the confirmation of the very guy they spent last summer trying to destroy with lies and smears, just to get rid of Grenell. Pretty remarkable how effective he was as DNI. https://twitter.com/seanmdav/status/1263512567923855360 5-E -- ARBERY UPDATE: Man who filmed Ahmaud Arbery’s death arrested on murder charges, Georgia authorities say. Georgia authorities on Thursday arrested a third person connected to the fatal shooting of Ahmaud Arbery, the black 25-year-old whose family says he was jogging when two white men in a pickup truck approached and killed him, prompting nationwide calls for justice. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation arrested William “Roddie” Bryan, Jr., 50, who recorded the graphic cellphone video of Arbery’s death in February, which was leaked earlier this month. He is charged with felony murder and criminal attempt to commit false imprisonment, according to the GBI. Bryan’s arrest comes two weeks after the GBI apprehended Gregory McMichael, 64, and Travis McMichael, 34, who confronted Arbery with firearms while he was running in a residential neighborhood in Brunswick, Ga., on Feb. 23. Both McMichaels were charged with murder and aggravated assault, and the GBI has confirmed that Travis McMichael shot and killed Arbery during the encounter. 6 AM HOUR 6-A -- TRUMP TRIP TO MICHIGAN Pandemic politics shadowed President Donald Trump's trip to Michigan to highlight lifesaving medical devices, with the president and officials from the electoral battleground state clashing over federal aid, mail-in ballots and face masks. President Trump tours Ford plant in Michigan without a mask, while Ford employees wear masks. THE MEDIA'S OBSESSION... Trump doesn’t wear coronavirus mask in public at Ford plant Michigan AG: Trump Isn't Allowed To Come Back To Michigan Because He Wasn't Wearing A Mask 6-B/C -- MORE MICHIGAN NEWS: Judge rules in favor of Michigan barber allowing him to stay open despite lockdown order. A Michigan judge has ruled that a barber who defied the state’s stay-at-home order and opened his business does not have to close. Karl Manke, 77, has kept his Owosso, Michigan, barbershop open since May 4, despite a license suspension, a cease and desist order, and a temporary restraining order from the state’s attorney general. A Shiawassee County judge ruled Thursday he can remain open, according to the Lansing State Journal. Shiawassee County Circuit Court Judge Matthew Stewart opted not to grant Attorney General Dana Nessel her request to force Manke’s closure, which effectively allows Manke to keep cutting hair. Michigan Court of Appeals Judge Stephen Borrello had ordered Stewart to hold a hearing on the temporary restraining order and issue his decision by end of business hours on Thursday. 6-D/E/F -- NEW YORK: ‘Ask President Trump’: Cuomo Blames Trump For Nursing Home COVID Deaths.  “Anyone who wants to ask, ‘Why did the state do that with COVID patients in nursing homes?’ It’s because the state followed President Trump’s CDC [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] guidance,” Cuomo told reporters when asked whether he regretted the directive that appears to have resulted in the deaths of thousands of nursing home residents. He continued: “They should ask President Trump. I think that will stop the conversation.” Republican New York Rep. Elise Stefanik criticized Cuomo for blaming Trump. “Governor Cuomo continues to point fingers at the federal government. But here are the FACTS regarding CDC guidance: The Governor’s decisions to MANDATE that nursing homes accept COVID-19 patients completely disregards the case-by-case approach recommended by CDC,” she said in a Thursday tweet. Janice Dean slams Cuomo nursing home policy after losing in-laws to COVID-19: 'Not just numbers on a curve' (VIDEO). Fox News senior meteorologist Janice Dean told "Tucker Carlson Tonight" Thursday that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's failed nursing home policy should be "one of the biggest" stories of the year after both of her parents-in-law lost their lives to the coronavirus. "I have not seen the coverage of this ... ," an emotional Dean said. "Twenty percent of our lost loved ones are from nursing homes ... because Governor Cuomo and several other governors forced COVID-recovering patients into nursing homes." Dean, who rarely comments on political issues, felt compelled to speak out after watching a CNN interview in which anchor Chris Cuomo -- the governor's younger brother -- failed to address the growing controversy and instead performed prop comedy with giant cotton swabs. "The fact that I am seeing, last night, him ... making fun, inappropriate jokes and insensitive jokes, cruel jokes ... make no mistake," Dean said, "I am glad that Chris Cuomo has recovered from COVID because he apparently did have it. And I'm glad that their family is well, but my family is not well. And that is not something to joke about." 7 AM HOUR 7-A - 7:05 AM -- INTERVIEW - FATHER FRANK PAVONE - National Director of Priests for Life - responded to FX’s documentary "AKA Jane Roe":  Norma McCorvey Reveals In ‘AKA Jane Roe’ She Was Paid To Turn Pro-Life, Admits It Was All An Act. In FX’s first documentary AKA Jane Roe, the real-life Norma McCorvey, who was known as plaintiff “Jane Roe” in the historic Roe v. Wade Supreme Court case, tells us that what she said in the feature is her “deathbed confession”. During the docu, she dropped a bomb, confessing that she went from pro-choice to pro-life because she was paid. In one jaw-dropping part of the Nick Sweeney-directed docu, McCorvey, who was interviewed a few months before her death in 2017 was asked if she was being used as a trophy by anti-abortion groups. “I was the big fish,” she admitted. “I think it was a mutual thing. I took their money and they’d put me out in front of the cameras and tell me what to say. That’s what I’d say." She gave an example of what she was told to say as the “former Jane Roe,” then she admitted it was all an act. “I did it well too. I am a good actress,” McCorvey said in the docu as people watched the footage in shock. (Deadline link) Father Frank Pavone was quick to reject the notion that McCorvey was lying about being pro-life. “So #abortion supporters are claiming Norma McCorvey, the Jane Roe of Roe v Wade, wasn’t sincere in her conversion,” Father Pavone posted to Twitter, Tuesday afternoon. “She was[.] I was her spiritual guide for 22 years, received her into the Catholic Church, kept regular contact, spoke w her the day she died, & conducted her funeral.” “One would think that any normal or honest person who wants to understand the journey of Norma McCorvey would talk with those who journeyed with her,” the priest further explained to LifeNews. “I knew her and was one of her key spiritual guides for 22 years, starting in 1995 with her baptism, right through the conversation we had on the day she died. Yes, she not only rejected abortion, but she became a new creation in Christ. I received her into the Catholic Church and rejoiced together with her as she discovered day by day the joy of prayer, and in her final years made rosaries by hand to help others experience that same joy. Her desire to protect children in the womb was no act.” “I was privileged to lead and preach at her funeral. I knew her struggles and her pain. She didn’t just have positions; she had deep wounds because of her involvement with Roe vs. Wade, and I guided her through the healing of those wounds, in the quiet hours of struggle that nobody saw or heard about,” he continued. “Those are things you don’t fake.” “There have always been people who have tried to re-shape her story, or get her to reshape it,” Father Pavone added. “She resented that and would resent it today. Norma was not somebody you could come to know in a snapshot, in an interview, or even in years of interviews. I’ll have a lot more to say about this once I see the documentary.” (Daily Wire link) 7-B/C -- 7:15 AM - ZOOM BIAS: BE AWARE OF YOUR UNCONSCIOUS BIAS IN ZOOM MEETINGS! THERE’S AN UNCONSCIOUS BIAS IN VIRTUAL MEETINGS. HERE’S HOW YOU CAN AVOID IT. While employees use videoconferencing now more than ever, there’s an issue happening beneath the surface with platforms like Zoom, Teams and Skype beyond stress and mental health that’s affecting its users. Amy Bonomi, a social science researcher from Michigan State University, and Nelia Viveiros from University of Colorado, said that these platforms are a ripe setting for unconscious bias — or, when people act based on prejudice and stereotypes without intending to do so. “Unconscious bias includes using language, symbolism and nonverbal cues that reinforce normative social identities with respect to gender, race, sexual preference and socioeconomic status,” Bonomi said. “For example, when the virtual background of a Zoom meeting attendee has pictures of his or her wedding, it unintentionally reinforces the idea that marriage is most fitting between opposite sexes.” In fact, even a simple icebreaker — common for videoconferencing settings —can be a pathway for reinforcing dominant social norms and identities. “In a recent videoconference, we were asked the ‘most fun thing you’ve done with your family during quarantine.’ Participant answers ranged from ‘gardening with my husband’ to ‘dance parties with my family,’” Viveiros said. While these experiences are valid, Viveiros said that they can crowd out the experiences of people with minoritized social identities. For example, asking about “fun family things” prevented several Latinx attendees from sharing their experiences of losing family members to novel coronavirus. Additionally, microaggressions are also communicated in virtual meetings just as they are in face-to-face meetings, Bonomi said. Microaggressions are brief, commonplace verbal, behavioral or environmental indignities that communicate hostile, derogatory or negative racial slights. For example, during a recent virtual meeting, the white facilitator lamented that there weren’t any diverse people to help with an analysis. Yet, when several participants clarified that they were persons of color, the facilitator said, “I mean someone who can speak eloquently about this topic.” So, what can we do? The researchers offer tips on how to mitigate unconscious bias and improve inclusivity. Use inclusive language. Using inclusive language validates participants’ diversity of experiences, including participants whose lives may be unduly affected by the novel coronavirus. “This can be done by acknowledging that there are a range of diverse experiences of participants and by establishing conversational norms that respect these differences,” Bonomi said. Approach conversations with sensitivity to differences. Instead of opening with the typical “tell us what your lives are like during shelter in place,” consider framing a question around what participants are noticing about communities around them. “Meeting hosts need to prepare follow-up questions, like whether participants know anyone going through this crisis alone,” Viveiros said. Symbolism. Be conscious about what your “virtual environment” might symbolize. It’s unlikely that in face-to-face meetings, participants be seated in front a wall of family photos. While virtual backgrounds may be a way for participants to express themselves, it is important to understand who is being excluded and included with these types of actions. “To mitigate the potential of exclusion, some organizations are guiding participants to consider background choices to reflect the organization’s values, as opposed to personal choice,” Bonomi said. Challenge microaggressions. Be a strategic ally in calling out microaggressions when they occur. This can be done by naming microaggressions on the spot or addressing them privately. It is important to share how the microaggression affected you and may have affected others and to provide tools for improving skills, they said. Time bounding. Respect people’s space in long videoconference settings by building in frequent breaks. “Due to a variety of factors, such as the need to care for self or for a family member with a disability, participants may need frequent breaks,” Viveiros said. By understanding unconscious bias in virtual settings, Bonomi and Viveiros say we can mitigate and counter its effects. “Without paying attention to how unconscious bias and how dominant paradigms get reinforced, we risk unintentionally alienating and potentially harming minoritized people,” Bonomi said.

None have received any substantive responses. Our request for task force minutes was denied. From the letter: "Please note that the Maryland Coronavirus Advisory Team and Maryland Strong Recovery Team are not units or instrumentalities of the State, and therefore do not have public records available for inspection. We lost our federal suit at the District Court level and are in the process of mounting an appeal to the 4th Circuit. Our interpretation of the judge's statements preventing gatherings is that it might apply to the General Assembly, a fascinating result if true.

(Washington Post link) Prince George's County may move to a "modified reopening" as soon as June 1. Part of the region hit hardest by coronavirus, Prince George’s County, could begin a phased reopening as soon as June 1, County Executive Angela Alsobrooks announced Thursday. “After reviewing recent data, we are cautiously moving toward a modified phase one reopening by June 1. While the data has improved, we are not out of the woods yet,” Alsobrooks said in a statement. Both COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths are declining in the county, the executive said. But Alsobrooks urged residents to observe the still-active stay-at-home order over the coming Memorial Day weekend, “so that we can stay on track to begin reopening by our target date.” (DCist) Baltimore County is to allow "nonessential" retailers to reopen if no more than 10 customers and staff are inside at a time. TOWSON, Md.

Beginning May 22 at 9 a.m., any businesses covered under Gov. Larry Hogan’s phase 1 reopening plan can reopen but are limited to 10 people, including staff inside.

To launch this operation, Maryland has more than quintupled its disease investigation capacity, and will have more than 1,400 case investigators statewide. “To support our local health officials, the state has built a robust contact tracing operation and massively expanded Maryland’s disease investigation capacity,” said Governor Hogan. “This will be a partnership across all 24 jurisdictions, and an all-hands-on deck effort to ensure health officials on the ground can trace and isolate the virus.” “This is a way everyone can contribute to keeping each other safe and healthy, while helping us find and fight the virus,” said Fran Phillips, Deputy Secretary for Public Health at the Maryland Department of Health. “Participating with the state’s contact tracing program helps keep you, your family, your neighbors, co-workers, and community safe from this disease. Please answer the phone if you see ‘MD COVID’ on the screen; working with our COVID-19 case investigators truly can help save lives.” MORE THAN 1,400 TRACERS STATEWIDE: At the start of the crisis, the state had a total of 250 case investigators working at local health departments.

Biden’s campaign responds to pool reporter being booted from Wall Street fundraising call, The pool reporter who was designated to cover a Joe Biden fundraising call with Wall Street players Thursday evening apparently had an early night. The NBC News pool reporter said she was able to listen to Biden’s opening remarks but was “quickly kicked off the phone call” once the likely Democrat nominee opened the floor to questions. “The last thing your pooler heard was Biden thanking donors and saying he was “open to questions” before a robotic voice exclaimed “goodbye,” Marianna Sotomayor wrote. She noted that her report was “written based just on his opening remarks because your pooler was quickly kicked off the phone call when Biden said he was ready to take questions from any of the 25 donors present.” [...] The abrupt end of the call raised speculation about transparency.  Rufus Gifford, Biden’s deputy campaign manager, said in a statement that “tonight’s event was a new format as we enter a new phase of the general election campaign.” POLITICO: WARREN Backs Off Of 'Medicare For All' In Bid To Become BIDEN'S VP... In the thick of primary season, Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden brawled over "Medicare for All”: He called her approach “angry,” “elitist,” “condescending”; she shot back, anyone who defends the health care status quo with industry talking points is “running in the wrong presidential primary.” Six months later, with Biden the presumptive Democratic nominee and Warren in the running for VP, she is striking a more harmonious chord. "I think right now people want to see improvements in our health care system, and that means strengthening the Affordable Care Act," she told students at the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics this week, while adding that she still wants to get to single payer eventually. The shift is the latest public signal Warren has sent Biden's way in recent weeks that she wants the job of vice president — and wants Biden to see her as a loyal governing partner despite their past clashes, which go back decades. FLASHBACK: EARLIER THIS WEEK: Biden, Warren team up in new video to surprise supporters with personal calls.  Former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) teamed up to call several small-dollar donors to his presidential campaign for a new video released Sunday by the Biden campaign. In the video, Biden and Warren thank several of the former vice president's supporters for their donations, mirroring videos released by Warren during her own campaign for the Democratic nomination over the past year. "We're gonna do our best not to disappoint you, and we're gonna take this country back and build a better country in the process with your help," Biden tells one supporter in the video. (The Hill link) Biden asks Klobuchar to undergo vetting for potential running mate role. Former Vice President Joe Biden has asked Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) to undergo vetting to be a potential running mate, according to a source with knowledge of the discussion. The source did not provide details on the discussion, which was first reported on Thursday by CBS News. A spokesperson for the Biden campaign declined to comment on the matter.  It’s not yet clear if Klobuchar has consented to the vetting, which would delve deep into her private and public life to uncover any potential weaknesses or vulnerabilities as a vice presidential candidate. The vetting process will be handled by a select committee led by former Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-Del.), Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti (D) and longtime Biden adviser Cynthia Hogan. (The Hiil link) HUFFPO: Sanders Campaign Asks Delegates To Sign Pledge They Won’t Openly Attack Biden. Now, Sanders’ presidential campaign is asking those delegates to sign a social media policy and code of conduct agreement ahead of the party’s convention later this summer in an attempt to minimize party infighting or online attacks against Biden akin to the rampant mudslinging by supporters in 2016. The Washington Post first reported that the Sanders campaign sent out the 5-page agreements that threaten delegates can be removed the delegation should they violate any provisions. The campaign also asks signatories to “refrain from making “negative statements about other candidates, party leaders, Campaigns, Campaign staffers, supporters, news organizations or journalists.” “Before tweeting or posting from your personal social media accounts, ask yourself these questions: If this appeared on the front page of The New York Times, would it compromise Bernie Sanders’s message, credibility, or reputation?” the social media policy reads in part. It continues: “This Campaign is about the issues and finding solutions to America’s problems. Our job is to differentiate the senator from his opponents on the issues — not through personal attacks.” While the Post reported the agreement angered some delegates, Sanders’ campaign said those individuals were representative of the senator and had a “serious responsibility” going into the Democratic National Convention, set to take place in some form in August (organizers are still looking at how to do so amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic). “When delegates attend the Democratic convention, they will be representing Sen. Sanders, the ideas he ran on and the millions of working people who supported his campaign,” Mike Casca, Sanders’ campaign spokesman, told HuffPost in a statement. “That is a serious responsibility and we’re asking them to follow a basic code of conduct while carrying out that duty.” 8 AM HOUR 8 - A -- 8:05 AM - INTERVIEW - MICHAEL COLBERT - executive producer of The NATIONAL MEMORIAL DAY CONCERT JOE MANTEGNA AND GARY SINISE HOST A SPECIAL PRESENTATION OF PBS’ NATIONAL MEMORIAL DAY CONCERT: AMERICA’S NIGHT OF REMEMBRANCE. The NATIONAL MEMORIAL DAY CONCERT airs on PBS Sunday, May 24, 2020, from 8:00 to 9:30 p.m. E.T., as well as to our troops serving around the world on the American Forces Network.  The concert will also be streaming on Facebook, YouTube and www.pbs.org/national-memorial-day-concert and available as Video on Demand, May 24 to June 7, 2020.

We regret we could not find a way forward.” Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism spokesperson Brent Heavner said the biggest barrier to opening the pools for the upcoming season is the inability to train and prepare seasonal staff in time to operate during the summer of 2020 due to ongoing social distancing guidance. During a regular summer season, DPRT normally hires 600-800 seasonal staff and is the largest seasonal employer of youth in Prince William County. “The county’s pools and waterparks rely on a large seasonal staff including lifeguards, park attendants, cooks, concessionaires, and other team members,” says Heavner. “Much of the safety training these positions require, especially our lifeguards, requires close contact. That training cannot begin until social distancing guidance guidelines are lifted, as anticipated in Phase III of the Commonwealth’s Forward Virginia Blueprint.” With Phase I reopening for Northern Virginia anticipated to begin at the end of May, and social distancing guidelines anticipated to remain through Phase II, the training required for many seasonal pool positions would not likely be able to begin until mid-July. (InsideNova link) Some tough calls are being made elsewhere, too. In Fairfax County, they’ve announced some pools will be closed all summer. In Montgomery and Prince George’s Counties, pools will remain closed until further notice. Meanwhile, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser is expected to make an announcement about the District’s pools Friday morning. (Fox 5 DC) VIRUS AND SMIMMING POOLS: ‘No Evidence’ That Coronavirus Spreads In Swimming Pools, According To CDC. As temperatures inch upward and Memorial Day quickly approaches, pools across the country remain closed due to coronavirus restrictions. Many are likely concerned about going for a swim, citing the possibility that coronavirus could be spread. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), however, says that there is “no evidence” that the virus can be spread to people through pool water, hot tubs, spas, or water play areas, as long as social-distancing measures are taken. “Proper operation and maintenance (including disinfection with chlorine and bromine) of these facilities should inactivate the virus in the water,” the CDC online guideline says.

Sales is a tough gig.  Monthly, Quarterly, Annual quotas dog us every day.  The pressure is unrelenting.  When you have a good year what happens?  The targets go up even higher.  In fact, the end of the year is a bit fuzzy as we wait for the final results to be tallied. We often don't know exactly where we finished.  What we do know though is that we are back to zero and we have to start again.  Today we look at some antidotes to the annual back to zero blues. Welcome back to this weekly edition every Tuesday of "THE Cutting Edge Japan Business Show" I am your host Dr. Greg Story, President of Dale Carnegie Training Japan and best selling author of Japan Sales Mastery. We are bringing the show to you from our High Performance Center in Akasaka in Minato-ku, the business center of Tokyo. Why the Cutting Edge?  In this show, we are looking at the critical areas for success in business in Japan.  We want to help advance everyone's thinking so that we be at the forefront, the Cutting Edge, of how to flourish here in this market.   Before we get into this week's topic, here is what caught my attention lately. Japan's fathers are spending more time with their kids but how do you think about these numbers compared to you own experience?  In a recent Bornelund Inc survey of fathers with kindergarten or nursery school children forty two point two of respondents said that fathers play with their children two to three days a week.  Fourteen point eight percent play with their kids four to five days a week.  Twenty four point two percent play every day. The survey also found that sixty percent of mothers weren't satisfied with how much their husbands played with the children, with eighty percent saying the fathers preferred to spend the tine on their smart phones.  In other news, Japanese consumers are pretty picky.  McDonalds was fined by the Consumer Affairs agency for false advertising. The consumers complained because the beef patties in the Tokyo Roast Beef Muffins was made from moulded beef rather than sliced beef as shown in the ads.  Finally, according to the Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry one out of every seven Japanese sixty five or older is estimated to suffer from dementia. That represented five point two million people in two thousand and fifteen. And this number is expected to grow to seven million by twenty twenty five.  That will make it one out of every five seniors.  I am already in that age group now, so that's a worry.  This is episode number ninety two and we are talking about It's a New sales Year And you Are Back to Zero     Soredewa ikimasho, so let's get going. Sisyphus was banished to Hades for misdeeds in life and spent eternity rolling a large stone to the top of a hill, to just watch it descend again.  This is the sales life.  Every end of financial year, we are back down at the bottom of the hill. Here we go again, having to push that big rock all the way to the top.   “You are only good as your last deal” is a common refrain in sales.  We struggle all year to make our targets and then we go back to zero revenues and start rolling those massive KPI rocks up the hill once more.   Most salespeople struggle to make their targets and the targets are always being raised.  The effort to get deals over the line before the cut off, leaves us in a disheveled heap. We go to bed one night utterly exhausted, only to arise the next morning to face an even bigger rock.  We are already tired, so how do we motivate ourselves to get in the game again?   Maybe we made your target or maybe we didn't.  It doesn't matter because we are in a new financial year now so we have to start again. So the first thing is to not worry about the past.  Draw lessons from it, but don't allow yesterday's worry to intimidate today's attitude.   Fill our mind with thoughts of peace, courage, health and hope.  We cannot tolerate a vacuum in our minds, so either the good stuff goes in or we allow the bad stuff to disable us.  We should not dwell on the negatives, but concentrate on solution finding for client problems.    Oh no!  Our biggest client won't be buying this year and that is going to leave a massive hole in our numbers.  Don't moan about it.  Start work on finding new wonderful clients to replace the lost one.  Get on to positive momentum to carry you forward.  You have your health and that is critical in sales. It is a stressful occupation, an emotional rollercoaster that can quickly spin out of control.  Make sure you maintain your health by adjusting what you eat and drink.  We all know what we are supposed to do, we just don't do it.  Well, this year do it!   Expect ingratitude. This way, bad news and bad behavior never catch you mentally unprepared.  Your client chooses your competitor and not you, despite the close relationship you have together.  You feel like you are dealing with an unfaithful spouse and are burning up with rage. If you assume ingratitude is the usual state of the world, then you just brush it off and move forward.  That good client of yours will be back at some point, so don't blow the relationship for the sake of one deal gone missing.   Find out more when we come back from the break Welcome backYou might like some information on our sales booster One and Sales booster two programmes.  These are modular programs so they can be done in any order.  Sales Booster One covers the building of trust with the buyer, designing excellent questions to uncover needs and then presenting the absolute best fit solution for the buyer. This will next run on November 11th. In Sales Booster Two we look at how to handle pushback, objections, hesitations and doubt.  We also look at how to ask for the sale without coming across as a pushy salesperson.  The next programme will be on August 5th.  Details can be found on our web site at enjapan.dalecarnegie.com  Back to the show Count your blessings not your troubles.  You are focused on the hill and the rock but not your strengths.  You have experience, contacts, track record and a good reputation in the marketplace.  You are a professional, who always has the client's interests as your first priority. You practice your craft and you study to improve even further.  There are always more potential clients than time available to service them, so there is no lack of potential.  Your competitors are not studying, and don't have the client's interests at heart. This gives you an advantage over the long term, as they just flame out and disappear.   Try to profit from your losses.  Not every post is a winner despite your best efforts.  Analyse what went wrong.  Don't be afraid to ask the client for feedback.  Our experience is the sum of our failures.  We learn what does work by finding out what doesn't work.  In the startup world they have the mantra of “fail faster”.  This is an old idea.  Edison applied this same concept to discovering which materials would bridge the gap in his electric bulb.    Create happiness for others. Give something back.  Provide advice, volunteer, turn up and help. When we give, we receive much more in return.  Our soul is warmed by the act and our spirit is strengthened.   Don't be overwhelmed by the hill in front of us.  Break it down to centimeters and roll that rock a little a day, every day and we will get to the top.  Okay, we have to start again but that is the fun of the game.  We get to play again and see what we can do this year.  See which wonderful new clients we can help. See what creative solutions we can generate.  We are an awesomely powerful learning machine and the game is our university of life.     Action Steps Don't worry about the past Fill your mind with thoughts of peace, courage, health and hope Expect ingratitude Count your blessings not your troubles Try to profit from your losses Create happiness for others THE Cutting Edge Japan Business Show is here to help you succeed in Japan.  Subscribe on YouTube, share it with your family, friends and colleagues, become a regular.
