Change can happen to you. If you are one of those that think that a person cannot change… go to the ophthalmologist, you need a review. If you are one of those that think that YOU can’t change and grow… there is a bottom that says unsubscribe. Please click. Change can be fast. Change can also be permanent. Vinh Giang, a raising start in communication, says that “don’t be so attached to who you are in the present, that you don’t give the future version of you a chance”. And he is so right. We are attached to our habits, even if we know that they are bad. To our friends, even if they are toxic. To our city, even if we know there is no great future there. To our routines, Netflix series, and so many other things… You know the quote. It’s crazy to do exactly the same and waiting for different results. Change can happen to you, but you need to want it.

And the same silence around Hand-Back Requirements. Nothing has changed....
“What’s happening with you?” Look. You’re not going to look smart by bringing those clauses to the table during negotiations. Nobody will thank you. No one. Not your bosses. Not the advisors. Not even the client. Everyone is focused on financial close. And their bonuses. And those big pats on the back. “Why are you bothering us with that?” I know. When you have four years of construction ahead. Utilities still undefined. Properties not properly acquired. A recent landslide before signature....
In today’s world, we are surrounded by information. By tips. You ask ChatGPT for ways to… Let’s say. Improve communication. Yes, remember: communication skills are probably the skill you need to be working on right now. Well… ChatGPT takes information from thousands of blogs. Unrelated to you. You feel overwhelmed.
