If I asked you to name the 16 types of business meetings, would you be able to name them?
Lucid has an interactive chart of the 16 types—divided into three categories—where you can learn about each type of meeting and how teams can use them to solve problems, answer questions and get work done.

So what can we do?
Amy Cuddy recommends that we change our posture for two minutes. Expand ourselves, by adopting a high-power pose. Very much like superman here.
“Tiny tweaks can lead to big changes”, according to Amy.
It might be worth giving it a try if you need a confidence boost. What do you think?
Why are so many successful people lonely?
Dan Pink talks to author Arthur Brooks who recommends that we ask ourselves, “Are my friends real friends or deal friends?”
Watch this short ‘Pinkcast‘ to find out what the difference is, and why we need more useless, real people in our lives!
This Merriam-Webster 10-question challenge tests your visual vocabulary.
An arrow points to the specific thing to be named. You have 15 seconds to answer each question. The faster you answer, the higher your score. The harder the question, the higher your score.

If you want to drive people away, use Latin terms in your writing!
Why? Because not everyone will understand them.
But it’s good to know what these words and expressions mean if ever you read or hear them.
Here are the most common ones:
et cetera (etc.) and so on, and more
exempli gratia (e.g.) for example
id est (i.e.) that is / in other words
et alia (et al.) and others
circa (c.) around / about
de facto in reality
ergo therefore
per se by itself / essentially
re about | concerning
vice versa positions reversed
pro forma for form’s sake
nota bene (NB) take note | worth noting
per for each
per annum for each year
per capita for each head
post scriptum (PS) written later
versus (vs.) against
I confess that I still use PS, versus and vice versa. Old habits die hard, don’t they?
And you? Do you use any of these words and expressions in your writing?
