People Work

I think the best way to work with people is by hanging with people. The best way to get good at doing something is to continuously do it. It is always hard to find something easy, when you don't do things repetitively.
Often times, 'homeschoolers' are people who have poor person skills. I think this is due to the fact that they do not necessarliy hang with people day in and day out.
Learn to pacify the situation instead of destroying others. Managing conflicts skillfully–bring responsible, making sound decisions, being inventive, helping others–can be a powerful opportunity for growing both professionally and spiritually. Choose to be curious, dropping “fight or flight” mentality. Recognize that we do not need to limit ourselves to a narrow perspective of achieving our objectives, voicing our opinions, protecting our territory. We can explore a wider set of possibilities for helping the situation. We can also attract resources during conflicts. By modeling our own resourcefulness first, we can then invite others to offer suggestions and share responsibility. First pacify, then discover that we are resourceful enough to be daring and available, free from fear and arrogance. Pay attention, and with such alertness we can preserve the sanity of our world even during extreme discord.
A working relationship means finding the best way to communicate with your co-workers, from supervisors to interns. You must together determine strengths and weaknesses, so that work can be accomplished most effectively. A working relationship also involves respect, trust, and, especially in an office setting, honesty. With these building blocks, a relationship is built on the foundation of work productivity. Many people work together for years without seeing each other outside the office.
