Hi everyone, belated happy new year and happy Chinese new year! Hope you had a really good break. I enjoyed the time off, we had family over and I got married (yay!). Been back at work a few weeks and struggling to write anything. Main reasons are:

As I said when I started this blog, what the world needs is “yet another blog”. Especially with ChatGPT now it is so easy to auto generate content. Why bother with humans?

It is so much easier to focus on work, hobbies, family, just relaxing etc when it is not your main job and hardly anyone reads anyway so why put in the effort.

My awesome wife got me a kindle for Christmas and I spent some time on the holidays reading a book called Crucial Conversations . I definately left my last job because I got too enthusiastic and didn’t moderate my speach enough. I took this into my new job also and managed to piss off ( aussie slang for annoy, irritate, upset etc.) quite a few people and was heading for a fast exit. So I thought I had better read this book.

In this blog post, I will be discussing how I learned to better balance telling the truth and maintaining relationships, as well as the key takeaways I gained from reading Crucial Conversations.
