>New economic website breaks the mold by offering sensible Wholesale Myles Jack Jersey , moderate advice! Posted by glainmax55 on August 17th, 2016
DALLAS- Economics has often been called “the dismal science” for successfully predicting eleven of the last four recessions. It’s true that much of what you find on the internet tends toward extremes. Either things are going to be great forever, or there is no hope anywhere in the world.
Aiming to buck this trend, Stewart Fields, a Dallas-based financial advisor Wholesale Leonard Fournette Jersey , has started a new website: stewnomics. “I took a look around the web and saw a whole lot of hype and a whole lot of emotional reaction,“ said Fields. “I want to let people know there’s still a rational middle ground in the world of economics.”
Fields comes to economics and finance by way of an interest in psychology. He uses the latest in forecasting and analytic tools, but also brings to bear the study of human decision-making. All of these skills are on display on the website, which offers cultural commentary and reactions to financial events from Fields’ unique perspective.
The website is a natural outgrowth of Fields’ work as a Business Finance analyst. Since he spends most of his time thinking about and planning for changes in markets, writing about them is a way to get those ideas on paper. “It started as a hobby Wholesale Jalen Ramsey Jersey , honestly. I’d show these little snippets around and people would say ‘That looks great. You should start a blog.’ I started tinkering with WordPress, and, before I knew it, I had a website up!”
The site updates between 2 and 3 times a week, depending on how fast the news cycle goes. “I don’t want to end up saying nothing just because I felt pressure to say something Wholesale Gardner Minshew II Jersey , so updates come when news happens,” Fields said. So far, the effort’s paid off. Every post is a surprisingly in-depth look at some contemporary news item, delivered in 500 words or less. If brevity is the soul of wit, stewnomics is the wittiest site on the internet.
When he’s not laying complex economic trends down in comprehensible language Wholesale Ryquell Armstead Jersey , Fields maintains an active financial advising and Financial Magazines service. If you’re interested in reading more, check out stewnomics.
I was at a client's company last week and heard a brief hallway conversation as I was waiting for my lunch appointment. The gist of what was said sounded like two people in a war torn country.
"I bought lots of canned goods that were on sale just in case I lose my job" said person one. The response was "Yeah, I know what you mean; I just went to the thrift store to get my kids spring clothes because I am afraid to spend too much money." This went back and forth until they were out of earshot.
When my client and I went to the cafeteria for lunch I was curious, albeit cautious in how I wanted to start the conversation. I was wondering if this organization was in deep trouble, something I may have misjudged. "No Wholesale Quincy Williams II Jersey , we are actually doing quite well. We weathered the economic downturn and now things are bright and sunny. Why do you ask?"
I told him about the conversation I had witnesses. There was a sigh and a shrug. "There are so many people still in a hoarding mindset. There is still so much fear found at every level of the organization that I really don't know how we should handle it."
The rest of our meeting was both energizing and productive. It focused on employee engagement, collaboration, and cooperation.
Here is the essence of what we discussed:
1. When stress hits the hot button we all revert to patterns we learned in childhood for security and survival.
2. Once these patterns kick in there is an emotional base of fear that keeps us from being our most productive selves.
3. All companies are in a better position to move collaboration forward when they understand this hidden source of anxiety.
4. Collaboration is an emotional connection and will not happen until the teamorganization feels safe.
5. Teamsorganizations will stall and stay unmotivated if leadership remains in a command and control mode.
6. Helping individuals observe, understand and ultimately transform the patterns of behavior that come from stress will open the blocks to creative collaboration.
7. Before the valves of cooperation and creativity can be opened it is vital for teams to talk together and find ways to talk openly, the only way that trust is developed.
The conversation was very fruitful and hearing the two employees talk about their need to hoard Wholesale Josh Oliver Jersey , the fear the economy might just tank again, gave valuable insight into how to help in these days when we all want to get back to business as usual, limit team conflict and activate the best employee engagement, fill companies with high level collaboration, stop office politics Wholesale Jawaan Taylor Jersey , mistrust, and fear of the proverbial wolf at the door.
We are in that half way place, things are better than they were one year ago, yet I believe we are all still regaining our sea legs to move forward with confidence to stay on the creative edge at work.
Kudos goes out to the George Walker Bush's Administration and long-term strategy in the world to take the high road in our foreign relations policy. Today we see relief donations coming in from around the world, why? Well because despite what you read in the newspapers about our Middle East efforts Wholesale Josh Allen Jersey , it shows that we, America, is seen as a country with the right attitude and vision. We have helped people and nations around the world and now, in our time of need we see a reciprocal response.
