[[:encoded, "The need for a balanced life is more important than ever. Too often, our work life and personal life overlaps, so enhancing your overall performance can only benefit both aspects of your life. Having a growth mindset can help you to overcome any challenges you may face, both professionally and personally.\n\nBy following these seven tips to enhance your performance in life, you’ll be more likely to maximize your potential and reach your goals in the timeframe you desire. Are you ready to start implementing changes into your life that will increase your performance and help you grow as an individual? If yes, then keep listening!\n\n1.

Whether you’re speaking with a loved one or a co-worker, approach the conversation with empathy and an open ear. Start by trying to see where they’re coming from, and use phrases to describe how you feel, not what you don’t like about the other person’s actions.\n\nListening well is a very important skill that needs to consistently be practiced to be refined.
