Actions speak louder than words, its not what you say, but how you say it. People will always
remember the way you made them feel, the experience that you gave them. Treat people the way
you would like to be treated; first impressions last.
Working under pressure comes with any role and how one deals with it, greatly determines the level
of success one can expect. The ability to work in teams is paramount to building excellent
relationships that enable success and achieving any common long-term goal and / or
short-term objective.
