G'day mate. So I was just listening to Jordan Peterson on betrayal and talked about how we all behave according to social expectations generally speaking and I'm thinking that perhaps we also tend to behave according to family expectations that Often the different kids in the family have different roles. So Say the youngest might be the rebel The middle child might be the quiet overshadowed one the eldest child may be the overly responsible one who Takes on too much responsibility Say the mother may be a bit mentally ill so she can't be expected to Take on normal motherly responsibilities And then the father has its particular role. Anyway, whatever role we become used to playing in childhood It may start to ripple through our lives And it is also true in the workplace often you have the the fevered Favorite son in the workplace The goofball class clown type character in the work workplace the irresponsible one but is is amusing and fun You have the overly responsible People in the workplace You have those who just do the very minimum, but they're reliable So anyway quite enjoying Peterson we we have these expectations for how people should behave and Then when we get into intense relationships such as romantic sexual ones if people let us down then That shatters our Conceptions of reality. We start to question how accurately we're seeing reality. We start to question who we are Question where we're going we're questioning our life trajectory. We start questioning Ability to perceive other people's character our ability to read others So So that feeling a betrayal it shatters our expectations for how the world be should work how we operate Who we are where we're going where we've been Now ability to read other people Then I was reading a cut not reading I was listening to a cartel Author of the power of now New York Times in 2008 caught in the the world's number one spiritual teacher He talked about betrayal And he noted that saying I have been betrayed This is an incredibly heavy sentiment They will They will change your personality Once you say, you know, I have been betrayed you take on something very heavy it changes your personality Then you take a change self into all your new relationships I am betrayed and he offered a reframe instead of saying I am betrayed In this case the question came from from a woman Probably about a man who'd be traitor instead of saying I've been betrayed instead We can Say something like I was in a relationship with the human being Who at one particular moment operated at a lower level of consciousness than what I expected So already that's a much lighter way of framing things He just leave it at I was in a relationship with a human being Good morning so You know, it's that often people are at a high level of consciousness but then a particular Combination of events or a certain situation or just Throw them absolutely throw them And cause them to act in ways that are just seem absolutely unfathomable and other people completely predisposed to commit certain crimes and Absolutely would do them in certain circumstances and yet those circumstances never arise and You know if men who operated very high level of consciousness mean you with integrity in in all aspects of their lives, but there are certain sexual temptations that come along and Then they completely lose their integrity. So I thought that was an interesting reframe the question of Betrayal instead of saying I was betrayed which is very heavy thing to take on which will have ongoing repercussions How you view yourself and Starbucks this morning completely empty behind me There's nothing going on there So pretty much all Starbucks Starbucks are closed. I think except for the drive-thru windows All right, there's a question in the chat Let me have a look here Doubt the Alexander technique would approve of the face mark placement went out and about not needing is to Just try strapping it above the elbow Okay Now see Alexander technique is a technique that's quite flexible so You may think it's bad Alexander technique placement because it may give me an incentive to tip my head back But because I'm directing the back of my head straight up And my whole head forward and up I'm Not tipping my head back even though I've got The placement as you can see All right Here's the book Betrayals the unpredictability of human relationships Let me Let me find the place here Okay, does the mask adversely affect the quality of the la la la's Okay, bloody hell. Let me find the Knowing and not knowing Being for oneself being for the other self betrayal. Whoops Completely losing it here Okay, here we go Here we go All right, we're going to learn about living with betrayal Whoops All right, all right, we begin here with paragraph from Robert Musel The perfecting of a love that's on the book All right And in a flash of illumination she saw a whole life dominated by this inexplicable Unremitting betrayal that one commits in every instinct in every instant by cutting loose from oneself without knowing why Nevertheless sensing in it an ultimate inexhaustible tenderness far removed from conscious thought Tenderness through which one is more immediately linked with oneself than with any of one's actions So in a flash of illumination she saw a whole life dominated by this inexplicable Unremitting betrayal that one commits in every instant. So is that just talking about coming to peace with one's humanity? so Okay, glibs got a comment. It still requires resistance to keep the spine loose, but when I'm out and about it's often on a bicycle Okay, so I got a comment there It's often on a bicycle. I presume that I have these problems, okay It's often on the where constriction is even more pronounced, okay, so I was I'll admit I've been having problems at times with my back going out Happens about once a year. It's quite embarrassing for an Alexander technique teacher to have his back go out And it's almost always after I've been biking a lot. I've got a stationary bike So when I watch movies and TV How did you get red-peeled? Look doing street epistemology So I think I got red-peeled reading Charles Murray's the bell curve I think because that just made fall into place things that I think I'd always instinctively had a feel for When I read the bell curves like yeah, this is this is how the world works So anyway regarding biking so on my stationary bike Do a few miles every day, and then I'd often have you know lower back problems as a result and so I was talking about this with the Gadi Kauffman You know who operates the website GadiBody.com G-A-D-I-B-O-D-Y calm And he said if I'm leaning forward when I'm riding my bike said yeah I'm usually leaning forward kind of resting on the handlebars. He says that's causing me to constrict certain muscles Which then will pull my spine out of place Okay, look my back always goes out in the springtime. I just went through about of it. You notice any seasonal correspondence And glib says two stores that stayed open after lockdown here And then subsequently closed a few weeks later just reopened. Okay, so anyway with biking If you're leaning forward on the handlebars, you're most likely Going to be constricting certain muscles that then pull on your spine and tug it Tug it out of place So that's what was going on with me.  Also, I tried sleeping on a wedge and That helped me get better quality of sleep. It reduced my sleep apnea but because the the wet the the wedge was relatively short.  I think that refers to just It's absolutely the worst bike riding position disavow Well, people can try it and see see the results So I'm talking stationary bike here So biking out and about on the streets I'm thinking If you're completely leaning forward it all depends on if you're If if you're causing certain muscles in your in your stomach area to To to shorten because if you cause muscles to shorten they're going to pull on your spine and Knock it out of shape Hannah Arendt States in the human condition that action is unpredictable because it arises from the darkness of the human heart Yeah From the fact that every individual is unreliable because Unable to guarantee today what will happen tomorrow from our common inability to predict the consequences of an action within a community of equals in which all have a like capacity for For action and freedom to act Yeah, so Someone may say something And glib says it's important to remember that one is not sitting in a seat when riding a bike one is straddling a saddle Uh I use lots of cushions on My saddle and i'm riding a bike so I usually have two cushions two big large comfy cushions which uh which reduce the The pain that comes from sitting on a straddle Okay, so what Hannah Arendt is talking about is that uh is that we all tend to act In relationship to other people and that our actions are unpredictable in large part because We are dealing with other people and the stimuli that they give us so for example this this uh This chat this morning. Sly stream is it's gone in a little different direction than what I expected because of the I am affected by the questions of other people And that's a good thing All right, that's the difference between solipsism and intersubjectivity So solipsism means you only act and think with regard to yourself The best saddles have very little cushion Okay All right, so I I'm gonna I'm gonna react to things said in the chat. I I I'm affected by other people and so To use Eckhart Tolle's language. I may be a man of high levels of consciousness in many areas of my life But then I will encounter a particular stimulus and I'll just go nuts So Intersubjectivity means We know who we are in relationship to other people that that Who other people are and what they do affects us? and And we are we are affected and changed by our relationships with others So that's why there's so much betrayal because we're constantly affected by others. All right as Hannah Arrant puts it man's inability to rely upon himself or to have complete faith in himself Is the price human beings pay for freedom and the impossibility of remaining unique masters of what they do Knowing its consequences and relying upon the future Is the price they play for plurality and reality for the joy of inhabiting together with others a world Whose reality is guaranteed for each by the presence of all okay, so Yeah, we cannot completely Lie upon ourselves because who we are is affected Is affected by other people and as other people act we are in turn Affected and changed So the price of having other people in our lives is that we we are continually Surprising ourselves because other people will surprise us. We will then surprise ourselves in turn Like I may have been completely calm and rational for the first 10 minutes of this live stream Then someone may say something in the chat and I just may lose my mind and go on a bender Right the joy of being with the other in everyday life and the reality founded on intersubjectivity Are open to the risk of the unpredictable hence of betrayal, right so When you're with other people you're entering the world of intersubjectivity because you are affected by them You do not speak an act in identical ways When you're with Luke as opposed to When you are with uh your boss, all right Hannah Arendt coined the term the banality of evil in regard to Eichmann she was actually incorrect Eichmann wasn't a bureaucratic someone in a bureaucratic cog He was an active participant of you know what Hannah Arendt likened Nazism to Stalinism and she had a similar opinion about Zionism We live in a society guys, okay Very good all right So we'd rather live with other people because life without other people is sucks We're finding that out in the pandemic right think about how much we miss socializing being being with others Like I could really do with a good handshake right now I really love to shake somebody's hand You know I'd even like to hug some people I want to get quite quite social I haven't done things I've uh shook hands in six weeks more than six weeks. So I'm antsy So if you enjoy being with other people Then you're moving from the realm of solipsism self-absorption to intersubjectivity Where who you are is affected by who you're talking to Hi Luke. Hope you're okay. Yes. I am well. Thank you I'm doing really well So we're not the same person when we're talking to our dad It's a person when we're talking to our best friend as opposed to when we're talking to our boss When we're talking to our most important client We're affected by all The people in our life who matter to us and the more they matter to us the more we're affected So genuine generally see with malat married men that they've become to an extent gilded That they have significantly changed themselves to maintain the most important relationships in their lives That uh, they may well indeed fear their wife and for man fears away his wife. It's because He puts so much value on her And the more value you put on a relationship the more you're going to Be tempted to compromise who you are to even sew yourself out To maintain the the smoothness of that relationship Okay Arent stresses that there's unpredictability refers not only to the other but also to ourselves No one can say to what tomorrow will bring or how we will behave in the future. Yeah So it's not just that other people are unpredictable. We are unpredictable Right We're very different people when we have tooth pain or back pain Or anxiety Or simply don't sleep well. I know if I don't sleep well, I'll often go through the next day with a headache So all of Shabbat said all yesterday had this Medium to mild headache Which significantly reduced my ability to read. Okay, sometimes you have to appease crazy where corporate punishment is not legal Yeah, sometimes you have to appease crazy That's true, but it's not just other people's craziness It is uh It is everything that they are that they bring to the table is is uh It's possible to affect us And then we change whether we have a headache a toothache a backache. We're in financial distress We're in a hurry. We're going to behave very differently when I'm in a hurry Then I cut out all distractions except my one goal of of being on time Uncertainty and unpredictability are a part of human action. No doubt about that Not only thanks to the darkness of the human heart Also, because no action exists. It is not conditioned by the actions of others and that in turn conditions those actions Wow That's good. No action exists That is not in part shaped by the actions of other people No, nothing we do Happens apart from the actions of others Yeah, so Nothing Nothing we do is not affected by the actions of other people. That's a really good insight We don't No man is an island in other words Uncertainty and unpredictability are a part of human action Not only thanks to the darkness of the human heart Because no action exists. It is not conditioned by the actions of others that in turn conditions those actions So we're in a continual feedback mechanism Okay, so So someone in the chat is berating Hannah or Grant for being in a relationship with Martin Heidegger because Martin Heidegger was an anti-Semite That's why I don't find The term anti-Semite useful Because the the person stating it Is probably anti some group as well But would that be a reflection of who he is? Let's say he's anti-muslim Would we say oh no one should talk to him he's anti-muslim or let's say he poses Open displays of homosexuality and we say he's anti-gay I just don't think terms like anti-Semite Or anti-muslim Islamophobe or homophobe just don't think they're useful. They certainly don't sum up the totality of someone so Heidegger's Reactions to Jews were not the sum total of who he was He existed and had thoughts apart from his reactions to Jews So you can say many things about Heidegger and you can even say he's an anti-Semite, but I don't think that's the The most accurate descriptor of the man. He was an important 20th century philosopher I can swear to what I will be and what I will do tomorrow But I will always have to take into account that I may change my project My plans may be thrown off course reshaped by the avoidable interference of actions by others The joy of living with others can lead to both cooperation and betrayal Yeah Yeah, so we can swear When people get married they swear to be faithful, right and they the Anticipate that they usually believe that at the time But then circumstances change have a few drinks And the world looks very different So we can swear to all sorts of things and I think you know this when you encounter people who swear something It's usually a tip-off that they're unstable Because a deeper knowledge of the human heart predisposes us not to swear To as many things and in the Jewish tradition it's very negative about making an oath or swearing Because it's aware of the unpredictability of human relationships So Judaism strongly discourages taking oaths and swearing to anything All right, this is the face of Joseph Conrad's Rosimov He mistakenly believes that he can be the one and only master of his life And guide his future along a certain path But just as soon as another person crosses that path or definition lose their clarity The monotonous flow of Rosimov's life Is interrupted by the sudden appearance of Hadlon the student revolutionary who takes refuge in Rosimov's house After unsuccessfully attempting a politically motivated assassination When Hadlon confides in Rosimov That's investing trust in him all of Rosimov's plans for leading a tranquil life and all his dreams of a career as a state Functionary vision vanish The eruption in his life of young Hadlon a person almost unknown to him obliged as Rosimov to make choices He never could have predicted for him honoring the revolutionary's expectations of trust By helping him to flee signifies betrayal of his own self and of his own dreams Embarking on a life course contrary to the one he had in mind On the other hand it's honoring an unsolicited trust by denouncing Hadlon to the police would mean committing a betrayal To resolve this dilemma Rosimov is forced to redefine himself as principles and his values and to reformulate his definition of betrayal. Yes Every time we encounter someone else we may well be stimulated To redefine ourselves our principles what we stand for our values And our definitions of betrayal For there to be betrayal there must be a moral tie And he's never established ties of any sort with Hadlon Okay, so through this redefinition of himself and betrayal Rosimov arrives at a decision to turn this student revolutionary over to the police But even though according to Rosimov's own definition All a man can betray is his conscience And he does not betray Hadlon with whom he has no ties and to whom he has no Commitment his encounter with the rung young revolutionary will forever change his life So every time we encounter someone they have the potential to forever change our lives During the course of Conrad's story Rosimov becomes a police informant in spite of himself He will betray the trust that others place in him He will play the betrayers role precisely because one day Hadlon had chosen him as the person most worthy of his trust Hadlon's ill-considered gesture of trust Creates for Rosimov a destiny as a betrayer Hadlon's unpredictable gesture gives rise to an equally unpredictable destiny for Rosimov so Someone can come to you to whom you owe no obligations And they may ask you to keep a trust a confidence And The very consideration of this trust You thought you had no ties to this person, but suddenly being impaled on the horns of a dilemma Can forever change you All right, what's going on in the chat? Trotsky seems like there's a pattern of Jews who establish a cult-like following Yes yes so I'm sure you'll find that there's There's a pattern of a certain personality type tends to create a cult-like following this personality type may be higher in Jews than in non-jews. I didn't know so what would be the personality traits? lead one to create a cult-like following so You probably make people feel a certain way that you can You can answer their deepest needs I'm not sure what personality type this would conform to yeah, charisma intelligence probably some extraversion But uh, I think uh, cult leaders probably have certain personality traits Oh, they probably I think they're probably high in neuroticism Okay, so let's stop in the chat. What are what are the personality traits of the effective cult leader? In the theory of social action based on intersubjectivity such as henna around so intersubjectivity means that everything we do is conditioned affected Stimulated by the actions of others that we never act as an island We always act in relationship to others that we see ourselves in relationship to others Each individual acts always and exclusively in relation to others into their acts This means that no one is ever just the doer But there's always also the one to on whom Others actions are reflected To do and to suffer like opposite sides of the same coin And the story that an axe starts is composed of its consequent deeds and sufferings so let's Let's catch up with the chat here They use neuroticism as coping mechanism because they've developed schizoids tendencies from cptsd charismatic intelligent honorable brave Why is decisive organizing abilities or the ability to pick a close acolyte to do it? Charles Manson, that's just who I was thinking about there's a messianic aspect to it We should all engage in live high-minded sword fighting IQ measures sociopathy I came across Spinoza today. Blue Monday is the king of Bohemia Luke knows he'll have me on eventually. Yeah, Blue Monday sent me an email and glad to have you on So I didn't know if I've unbanned people. It's just that I'm I'm streaming on a different channel So I got a hate speech strike on my main channel So I switched over to this backup channel a few days ago So that may be why some people are unbanned or that Some people are not moderators or are moderators that weren't on the other channel Consequences of action are limitless because every act occurs in a medium and prompts a chain reaction That's putting a new process into motion. Yeah, that's good. So every action prompts a That's what Klausowitz said in his famous 19th century work on military strategy on war That in war we always deal with an opponent who reacts They're not passive. They're not simply Recipients of our actions, but they always react to everything we do No one is ever just the doer There's always the one on whom Others our actions are reflected to do and to suffer like opposite sides of the same coin And the story that an act starts is composed of its consequent deeds and sufferings So the consequences of action are limitless. We never know how we're going to affect other people Because every act occurs in a medium and prompts a chain reaction That's putting a new process into motion according to Hannah Arendt Action affects other human beings who are capable of acting in their turn Reactions to such acts are never simple responses But rather new acts with their own reasons for being that affect others. Yeah, people don't just simply react blindly So we act Then other people react But they don't simply respond. They bring their own They bring their own Stuff to the party Human beings are inevitably linked to one another. No act takes place in isolation without any effect on others Smallest act in the most limited Circumstances bears the seed of the same Boundlessness because one deed sometimes one word suffices to change every constellation Yeah, that's a great thought Every deed every word Has the potential to Ricochet around the world So I think that's the That's referring to the the concept of a butterfly Flutters his wings wings in one part of the world and the repercussions are felt in Other parts of the world So one word is enough to change people. So I was planning to go to Sacramento State To do my degree in economics and then Couple of sentences from my friend's father Have I read book by a packed Buchanan? I like Pat Buchanan. I'm not sure if I've ever read a whole book by him, but I've read a lot of his columns So a couple of sentences from my friend's dad said no way. I'm not going to sex state and I ended up going to UCLA instead I think that also may have been an impetus to To me to get much more serious with my education So sometime after that I became essentially a straight-A student Being with others creates both the possibility of action and its risks No human being is ever totally isolated and no gesture or act is ever exclusively the work of one person How can there be a subject who Is intrinsically a betrayer or a subject who is intrinsically the betrayed Okay There's a there's a challenge Because we may very well come to define ourselves as someone who is betrayed And the old Starbucks here completely shut down It's no drive through window for this Starbucks Who can predict betrayal and we can't? In Shakespeare's play of the same name Coriolanus refuses to observe the rules and the rights of the roman republic By seeking the favor of the roman people Through its tribunes and his refusal is repaid by insults This is enough to make the great general feel that he has been betrayed So that induces him to betray Rome Abandoned Rome which he no longer feels himself appreciated Rome for which he is so Often and so generously fought it's no longer his homeland How could Coriolanus have predicted in the happy days of his glory when he defended Rome from its enemies that one day he would betray Rome How could he have imagined That it would be precisely other romans who would bring him around to that betrayal Or that he would be the one to pass over to the side of the enemy So yeah, we may feel a great deal of loyalty to a group to an entity to a job to a person And just a few sentences or one single act And we may well feel compelled to ditch our loyalty and in fact will compel it to betray so often Those who are the keenest fans are the most dangerous for say the public personality that uh, I I've Known it that I've had, you know, you know over the top fans whenever I hear from like an over the top fan I immediately become worried Because I have found that people are like over the top in their fandom are the most likely to turn and switch And to be to become the bitterest of enemies and opponents So you'll often do it do a kindness for someone And then suddenly They become irate because you didn't do a second kindness. So I I allowed a friend. I gave a friend a credit card Like I was responsible for it. He didn't have good credit So I wanted to help him out. He'd helped me out in various ways. I'd state I'd uh hadn't stated his place, but I'd used to shower at times and He'd been a good friend to me. So I thought yeah I'll give him a credit card in his name that I'm responsible for and he'll just pay me every month. Well, he didn't pay me and ended up with He had me about six seven eight hundred dollars And at that point because he was late in paying me. I just cut him off Then once I cut him off He essentially seems to be my friend and he never repaid me the money so This wouldn't have happened if I hadn't extended myself to do that kindness of giving him a credit card And then Because he was just that's who he was is to be habitually late in paying his bills. That's why he didn't have access to credit then He'd be habitually late repaying me to pay my to pay the credit card bills. He'd run up And then when I finally cut him off Then he experienced that as a tremendous act to betrayal and That pretty much was the end of our friendship. I kind of peed it on after that But we were never as close and now I haven't spoken to him in I don't think I've had any communication with him in maybe eight ten years And we were like the best of friends during my first few years in Los Angeles So this happened in late 97 early 1998 And we stayed acquaintances for another decade or when I was staying with that college professor at UCLA And he asked me if he could give me a blowjob Our friendship was never the same after that thinking about a girlfriend I had His uncle went while intoxicated asked her for a blowjob and She realized that her friendship with her relationship with her uncle Was never the same after that. So one word one sentence one act has a potential to forever Forever change our relationship To not just one person but then to a whole string of people Talk to you more soon


update. Good afternoon, folks. Steve Rhodes coming to you live from the shores of rainy and chilly Delray Beach, Florida. This is your 2 p.m. update, currently all the U.S. indices trading to the upside. The Dow is up 284 points, eight tenths percent, one and three tenths of percent for the S&P, 59 points, one and seven tenths for the NDX 100, 252 points, one and six tenths for the Russell, 31 points to the upside. Semi's are up nearly 3%, 2.8% to be exact. That's 100 points to the upside. Trend is up one and six tenths percent. We've got a rally going on. It looks like a rally that should continue. And the reason we say that is spot volatility is below its 50-day exponents moving average. Gold is rallying. It's up eight bucks. Silver's up 12 pennies. Light's recruited up 23 cents. And the 30-year treasury chained out at 153.10. First, let's go take a look at what's going on in the index ETFs as of 2 o'clock with two more hours left in the trading session. You've got the spies trading in the swing point from February 2nd. That swing point had 170 million shares. You've only got 47. You're trading into a light volume. The Q's doing the same thing. Trading into a swing point that has 78 million with 35 million shares with two hours left to go. The diamonds price is trading just slightly above its swing point, which would confirm or suggest an A to B equals CDT upside. Really wouldn't be confirmed from a volume standpoint because the volume on that swing point is 8.9 million. You're at 3 million shares as we speak right now. And the IWM, which looks like that's going to close above <IP_ADDRESS>, the B point of an A to B equals CD to the upside. But it also has light volume. 42 million on the swing point and only 18 million shares as we speak right now. Let's switch from this and go take a look at our indices charts out here. As we do that, you'll see the Dow in the upper left-hand corner. Now the Dow trading above the top of that swing point suggests either an A to B equals CDT upside or move up to its TD9 breakdown level of 36.513. The spies not taking out that swing point, but if they do, that suggests to move up to 47.44 where price is broken down. The NDX 100 not taking out the swing point, but if it does then to move to 15.990, the TD9 breakdown level would make sense. Russell 2000 already above that swing, that suggests to move to 22.10 or that area. The SMIs do have a confirmed A to B equals CDT upside. They are trading above their swing point with volume. So you've got a confirmed A to B equal CD, confirmed a TD9 count pattern at the lows. This looks like it wants to target the 38.40.95 level. It's TD9 breakdown level out here. Spot follow techniques is very likely headed to 17.94. You've got an A to B equal CD pattern in the XAU, very likely targeted to 138 area. That is its most recent profile high. Folks day two, David White is up next with the power trading hour. I'll see you back here tomorrow on terrific Thursday. Have a wonderful Wednesday, folks.


as looking who else around the county might be joining part of their team yeah yeah yeah what yeah yeah listen I we had a good conversation we surprised at what level of commitment would be required from the likes of you for a role like that yeah um well when we had the conversation in this league it was um you know about coming in fall and then it was is there is there another way I think you've got to be full time on there and if you are then it's X amount of evenings during the week and then it's you it could be a Saturday it could be a Sunday it could be both you know such as a level and you have to commit for you know I mean initially at least the term of whatever the new manager commits to it's a big ask like it's huge it's a huge huge risk huge rewards not money but in terms of you know in terms of maybe money well you know yourself to be to be part of something that could be I it comes down to the kids for me yeah you know you time time with that this but you did but did you say no yeah well so you ruled yourself out of that yeah yeah all right yeah I should I should bomb sale exclusively but Greg listen if if time was at a different if your kids were a different stage you know how it gets on now your father yourself once you get the stage where they can occupy themselves and we mile this lad you know there's no there's no issue there he doesn't need my attention all the time now my youngest this morning I'm trying to read a few newspapers and he's hanging out spending time with them yourself too isn't it's a two way so yeah it's just I mean if you're both people I think from years ago like if you take it now both parents are working now and so if you have this thing number you're away in the evening so if we both come back from working and I'm away to training you know you have that thing with that in mind though Brendan is there a way of managing it better though because do you know like a lot of people would feel that you you know you would have a you'd have an interesting influence and I think tactically whomever was you were speaking to absolutely we don't want to say who it is but you would have to have they would have to be like minded in terms of a style of play for example I don't think you'd be interested in going in and being involved in you know this sort of lateral play and defensive play whatever about the time I don't I'm not sure you'd want to be involved in that yeah oh you're right we actually had a chat about tactics you're 100% right yeah because I think that's important Greg and listen there's there's there's a way of playing the modern game and but you got to look at what squad you have and that's the thing about the about the GA you know you have who you have you have your done it all boys and you got to work with that and I think as we've spoken before the way we we ended this season the two defeats that we had now has probably made a lot of people question mark you know where this team's at I think some people make those periods within one of those games at least yeah whereby if we had adapted in that moment we would just be in it you know it's like the butterfly effect yes the whole conversation would just be so completely exactly there's aspects to your game in our squad which is top top drawer but then there's issues on there you know I think physically and defensively at times where we can get strangled a bit by by that position I think that's the thing that we got a but you got to figure out a way to play to the best of what you have yeah there was another thing I was going to say to you though sorry and then I rambled off like what other really good football people are we not do we not have in the game because they have to make a decision between being involved in a county setup or an intercounty setup and family life do you know what I mean is it possible that we we need to or could look at that so we have the best of the best available and not having to make a decision between spending enough time with their young ones or their partner and and you know being involved in an intercounty setup but just I know there's a certain amount of time that has to be committed but can you maybe we need to look at that yeah I think that probably comes down here there's a whole issue they say if you're the manager and it's a it's a big job in this and if you are being somebody compensated for that I think you can you know that fits for you in your life and if you have this you have a young family yeah for instance whereas say you're a you're a selector or you're someone that's getting involved in some other way to commit to that their time without all that there it can be a harder sell you know so if you're I think if you're on about the the best people the main trainers and people about they're committed to that life anyway yeah but they're already there they're in the pool what we're talking about you know yeah no disrespect to them but you see you can't get that pill without kind of being in it anyway do you know what I mean yeah well you're not in the pool and you could have been well that's a good one you're a joint manager but I'm on about currently yeah I know I know your record is there I don't mean that but I'm just saying what I'm trying to get at is that I think a lot of people think that you would have a valuable role to play and the fact that you would have to make a decision in doing so between your life not your life but your family and your that's all but anyway listen it's sport and maybe that's the way it is is is Jimmy gonna still be linked to Mayo I haven't followed up yeah I mean that's a perfect appointment for him can you imagine I think he goes in there with a pretty decent team yeah and breaks the who-do yeah I think they're in the way down you see Greg again a lot of question marks about Mayo can they come back again yeah and and listen a lot of their players legs they're not the replacements aren't there for them I mean Mayo if you take it back to when Jim took Donny Gull if he took Mayo then they had a 1x amount all errands there's no doubt if he had to put that into Mayo because they had an unreal team then and over the years they've replaced an odd player and they've been up and down a bit but I think now Mayo are on the way and I mean Galway are certainly if you look at them Galway are on the up compared to that there's an interesting squad there I mean if you ask a lot of managers now that Galway team I know probably Josh has made it but they're on the way up you know our man the way up maybe Derry but you know so different squads are you not sure about if Derry can do it two seasons in a row yeah yeah I just think Greg listen they can't tactics again as we spoke many times just we've seen it come up sharp how many times and they can be figured out they're forward lane Derry don't have the forward lane you know if we're going to match if we're going to mismatch between us and Derry you'd have some say put it again a proposal right the Derry defense the Derry defense and we take the midfield and forwards maybe so um just one final question then on the management system and this is not an accusation against Jim McGinnis or anyone else has it always been the case that the potential managers factor in whether or not they can sort of get a bit of glory with it as well do you know what I mean has that changed is that because of the pressure from social media or everywhere else or has it always been a case in other words was it not a case that a manager went in and they wouldn't go in necessarily thinking well can I keep them in this division or can I get to an all island semi-final you know maybe they have to look after their egos as I'm not saying that's against anyone specifically but is that always been the case or is that a new thing I think they want the one there's probably people take a county job it's a huge job to get good regardless and particularly if they're from the county you know um if you're going to step in from another county you're going to either want to either be somewhere or there's obviously money involved in it as well you're going to have to be properly compensated and a lot more maybe from than a county man in there but it depends on you're right on the squad now if you look at certain teams or even club teams I know bandone is shared no manager and Peter McIntyre of the Alingham stepped in and me Barney Curran come up with that and that was a last minute thing just because there was nobody there to take it so it depends on the situation of the job so at the minute it's done all the job that a lot of people are are looking after or going for they're not great as almost as if it's opposite we're going after certain people they say do you want do you want to have a do you want to take this job on I think that's more more we're seem to be reaching out more than a load of people saying I want that job and do you think down the country maybe Ulster football looks a wee bit toxic like that you could be you know you know yourself you've seen this on the game you know the instant default position it's huge you've Ulster football then you've rest ironed it's a complete uh it's a complete different world country and get involved in that yeah yeah quite would you there's a strange reaction to everything that happens in Ulster but the tactics and the love of football and also I think is growing out of that there and you just have superpowers down the country that stand out from all the counties whereas nearly everybody in Ulster in this last 15-20 years has had a cut of the other teams and has been able to beat them now I know this last while there's been a bit of domination but by and large nearly every team in the province has had a has can beat the other teams from year to year or time to time have been able to do it you don't get that in other provinces and that's why also so different and then the tactics that Ulster brought it then kind of stuck it up to a few of the a few of the say the superpowers and they found that hard to take particularly some of the in your face type tactics so there is a thing lingering there all the time that we Ulster and the rest well maybe with the change of the the panel up at RT I suspect RT you'll come back with a whole new approach next year I think you'll see the presentation of that sport completely different on RT yeah and then might go more to the sort of the Sky Sports model where it's more just based on analyzing particular elements of the game not necessarily about opinions or scorn pointing or banter whether people like that or not I think they're going to change a big time next year there's more criticism of Sunday game I think than there is of any football match that's that's that's mad so just to recap you were approached by a potential candidate uh uh what was it in in a in a coaching role yeah something they got you and you just you know but just we had a target but have you ruled yourself out of it completely not just with that individual because you know yeah I think it's not about the individual you know and obviously I'd never say who it was to anybody when you said to my wife um I don't keep I don't keep any secrets from her of course you didn't tell your wife you better not have her but it wasn't about hungry it was just about time and we talked about about the lessons he's a good fella and we talked we were about tactics and and where the team needs to go on that so listen that that was just just something that was happening but it was good to know he had a keen interest and a tune I think that's what we need uh we need people as I say because someone has to step up I think someone's going to take someone to step up yeah and I think whoever it is we've got to give them time because at the minute things aren't right we've got to probably get a wee bit of energy back in from the county because we're very poor support those to find them it's definitely a Dharma game so I think we've got to maybe get new players and give a wee bit of a different style and get a wee bit of love by the game I think too maybe how things are communicated would help too you know every element of the this is not a criticism of anyone as such but every element of the game has been modernized and I think maybe just the how the inner workings or the team or whatever or manage how it's communicated with the public I just think that could switch up a little bit do you know what I mean I don't know um but I think there's something could be done there because the message has to be gotten out that do not expect necessarily you know a semi-final year one that's unrealistic yeah there'll be quite a bit of negativity at times hanging about there too uh Greg you know I think some of it's um unwarranted you know particularly when you just think about right you've a manager in there you know we've seen there's a lot of stuff towards boner at the end listen for all he's done they're doing on plus listen he's trying to do his best so who's all the players you know things don't work out sometimes they don't work out some things you know yourself if you spend 300 quid taking a family up to watch a team you think you've bought the right even if you don't go to all the games because there's this thing too you can't say anything unless you go to every club game every training game every you know that you can't have an opinion unless you are you can't have a pain I would find that just the personal opinions sometimes it can be about sometimes it can be I think on the soccer season kicked off right and I didn't miss it I watch it but instantly it was like it wasn't like it was people say for instance reveling in Manchester United's performance it was no it was just like jeering each other right which is fine and maybe that's part of it and it's a bit of back but you just really don't want to see that being the norm here I don't think you know look at your own team see how they're doing have a bit of crack but anyway yeah I didn't miss that negativity I think you should turn up a pain more than that I mean obviously it's not going to the players to manage it and it's GA you know where no but of course I get that it's family and people feel they have then they they feel they can go you know what that game was nonsense but then to individualize it and say nasty things about individuals that's yeah of course yeah yeah no because I mean look at what Harry Maguire is is it Harry Maguire is to put with Man City you know it's in Manchester United sorry you know that's not you know the abuse he gets in social media is not okay like if you look at people that revolving GA if they've had anybody that's played it or played to themselves everybody kind of knows you know what's what's going on in the background and you know if something doesn't happen or somebody doesn't perform it's all right you had to be disappointed in that but not not to the individual you know to that player but not to the person I think that's I understand I do understand where you're coming from and I just hope we can find that that right balance Brendan yes right okay so the deal debate tonight Ryan Ferries on it with Brendan going back over the intermediates and the juniors and they'll

donnie gall forward slash scale x blue okay right on monday focus is on um property ownership property purchasing and we're delighted to welcome on to the studio adel quinn over owner of adel quinn properties hi adel good to have you with us good morning gregg how are you not too bad at all right we read in the papers today sales of million euro houses soaring uh wicklow witnesses 78 percent increase in the number of homes selling for above seven figures there's a big jump in uh doubling a big jump in donnie gall from a very very very low base i mean how many million dollar properties so euro properties do we have in the counties there many um other than your own obviously pardon other than your own obviously um the uh donnie gall is lucky that it is a lot of coastline so i mean that jumps up the prices straight away you know once you have a c view so i suppose the last few years we're seeing a lot of people um that are buying second homes and that in donnie gall again instead of going foreign so that all has had an effect and then of course build costs and that um so your prices are definitely getting up there you know yeah and you deal too with new builds um are we seeing a lot of new housing or housing developments coming on stream or is it still just one or two sort of headline ones um well i suppose i'm primarily south donnie gall and west donnie gall so around donnie gall town itself like we've had quite a few new developments recently um and i suppose with regards first-time buyers it's more favorable for them to go down those routes because you have um the different schemes available to them for grants to help them on the property ladder yeah some reports today saying fewer first-time buyers will have access to the uh controversial five hundred and sixty million help to buy scheme under new plans to narrow the criteria for those eligible it's all these little decisions though that do have impacts on the housing markets and people's ability to to get their first home yeah well i suppose the first home scheme if you just look at that um it is captain donnie gall for 250 000 uh so you can avail of um up to 30 percent of uh that amount and you can also have the help to buy scheme run concurrently with that so where you're going to buy a new build um under the help to buy scheme that's where they would look at your last four years of tax uh you have to be employed in the country in the last four years so you can get uh 20 percent uh the help to buy scheme i'm sorry up to 30 000 and then you can put the first home scheme on top of that for another 20 percent so there are a lot of things out there i suppose there are five main different schemes you can avail of most of them though are for primarily new builds yeah indeed and then of course that we're seeing that's we need more new builds to come on stream just some questions and if you have any questions oh eight six sixty twenty five thousand text to whatsapp them into us a lot of people uh don't know when the right time to buy is you know like are we at the top of the market now if we're not do you wait for a year i mean obviously you know you've got uh you could you would love as many houses as possible to meet demand but is there a right time to buy or build and is it now well i suppose uh the biggest factor is uh buying versus renting and i know in south dunningall the the rental market is is you know virtually non-existent so people have no choice but to buy you know um and again when is the right time it's all relative to you know how long do you plan to stay in the house um you know if you're if you're selling out to buy something else it's all relative to the price at the time so yeah and also uh in terms of cost certainty because if you were to get a mortgage and to fix it you know you might know what your outgoings are going to be dependent on how long you fix that for with rent i mean particularly here in dunningall we just don't you don't know where that's going as well so if you have the resources that's something to be factored in i presume it is yeah um i suppose and then again getting back to like the first time buyers uh if you're buying a new home and a development they're fixed prices whereas if you're going to build at the moment it's very difficult to factor in prices because you know things are fluctuating yeah of course uh even key in the door sort of uh charges you don't know if they go up or down they could be uplifting some of those contracts as as well does it surprise you to uh read today that so many landlords uh are having to to issue eviction notices or termination notices because uh they want to sell their homes are we seeing much of that in dunningall maybe former landlords whatever they might be uh opting to to sell up their second home or their investment property and get any money they can out of it now uh i think so i think it's a very um difficult uh market to be a landlord um the you know the laws and that they really aren't very favorable to especially like uh small time landlords that may just have one house rented out it's it's very difficult i suppose and the the tax that you would have to pay then against what the government would see as earnings uh which is even though you know you would have a mortgage against your rent so it's kind of it's now the prices are like have come back a good bit from the recession before it's probably the optimal time for small time landlords to sell and it's just it's not feasible for them and they uh many would feel that the system is stacked against them because you know sometimes saying you're a landlord could be a i'm not a landlord by the way sometimes saying you're a landlord could be a dirty word uh and yet people might not understand that a lot of people feel the system is very much stacked against them beat through tax or beat through their rights as as the property owner yeah i mean it's it's definitely got its ups and downs but i suppose that's a conversation for another day yep what are the important questions people should be asking uh at a viewing someone wants to know oh okay um i suppose um sorry uh the first thing before going to a viewing is is getting your own ducks in a row um get your mortgage approval as soon as you can it puts you in a better buying place the first thing people do ask then uh interviewing is what is the building energy rating because again that reflects back on um sustainable mortgages that you can get and you can get lower interest rates and fixed interest rates because of that as well yeah so the number one at the moment then would be asking um you know what's it said what's the energy rating of course and that's not an opinion that's certified isn't it Adele it is yeah and oh um i suppose with the scai grants then they can look at if it is an older property um what they would need to do to get the energy rating up and again that reflects positively then on your mortgage uh are asking prices uh generally being met at the moment or exceeded or is there still some some bargaining with the list price um i suppose every property is different but for the most part especially with us we're definitely getting the asking price and some of them are going to both again it all depends on the the property the location and yeah i suppose work that needs to be done to the properties you know yeah and the vision of the the property purchaser i i think the last time i spoke to you we talked about um we talked about a lot of people maybe moving back to dunagall and looking for properties you know maybe people wanting to remote work from here is that still uh you're still getting a lot of inquiries in that regard or is that tapered off a bit or um i suppose and it's tapered off a little from last year because it was crazy last year when everybody had to work from home but we're definitely still seeing it uh seeing a lot of it i suppose last week i had a few couples in uh it's it's you're getting to work from home there's a better quality of life you're in dunagall there's there's a beach never going to be too far from you do you know what i mean and when the suns out as they say like twice a year it's lovely but yeah they've been one of those days but you know you're getting to avail of the the quieter life here but you're still getting your uh higher income yeah um is mica testing now automatically provided when buying a house or is it something i need to request and if i do request it who foots the bill now uh i mean obviously i think really maybe we're only learning of the extent of defective concrete blocks in south dunagall i mean this has been primarily sort of letter kenny and to the north but i think anyone buying a property in dunagall now would be very interested in in in a test for mica pyrite or whatever it might be so uh do you have to have a test and and who pays for it you don't have to have a test um i've had a few properties recently that the uh purchasers decided to do uh mica tests of their own avail and they paid for it just to do their due diligence so down the line they're not going to be caught on it but um i suppose we have another case at the moment that um the purchasers and the uh defenders are they're going to split the bill half half because it's in both of their interests um but again there's there's nothing set in stone so all right there's no rules it's just but i would say very few people uh or maybe that's an accurate statement very few people if the if the property was built at a certain time in a certain way there'd be very few people making the biggest investment of the of their life without checking if mica was present at the moment i mean it's definitely a conversation in every house we go into uh when was it built where did the blocks come from etc but um it's definitely something that you know you you must consider because as you say it's going to be one of the biggest purchases of your life so um but i suppose it's a newer thing and so i've done it all at the moment it's not um it's it's not as vocal as you know understood a caller says in your experience is it more cost-effective uh going for a fixer upper house it seems more in our price range on paper but in reality would we end up paying more and old people would buy them to flip them or enjoy the the the prospect of doing them up i mean it really depends on your circumstances because you could be the type of person that could do a lot of that work yourself or you could have to foot the bill and uh so it's there there is value in a fixer upper or would you say look at if you can afford a house sort of effectively turnkey almost you should go down that road what's your view um first of all it's very very hard to uh to find a fixer upper they're they're like the gold dust um sorry that's okay but um that could be someone with a fixer upper for you all right but um look if the last year or two with with material costs it leaves it very unknown whereas if you're going to buy a house it's already done you know the final cost um but again i think things are leveling off that way so it's always nice to do your own staff on something as well yeah exactly um a caller wants to know are there any main hidden fees or charges that we as first-time buyers might miss or don't realize no i suppose your your biggest um costs are um as a buyer you wouldn't uh be uh given a cost over to us but your solicitor fees um your engineers report that's very important um i know if you are a cash buyer if you're lucky enough to be in that situation you don't have to have one of them but it's it's always better um to to get it to to know exactly what you're what you're getting but um that's kind of the main fees and then the stamp duty is one percent up to a million so when you're up with that bracket then it gets gets higher but that's solicitor fees engineer stamp duty that's probably your your main ones you know yeah and i think um things are very different now i mean there's lots of people involved in the business like yourself and it has to be as as as easy and simple as possible for the purchases and the vendor as can be yeah i mean listen you can make it as difficult or as easy as possible but at the end of the day everybody has one objective one person wants to sell one person wants to buy and you know the easier that you get the quicker process goes through it can take anywhere up from probably the quickest one i ever had there uh was uh for like a mortgage property the whole thing went through in six weeks because everybody had all our information at the offset and you know it can go anything from that to six months yeah but even six weeks for such a big transaction it's pretty impressive um finally then so in terms of where we're at in terms of property availability versus demand is demand still currently outstripping um properties that are available uh it's it would be yeah absolutely um especially because of the lack of new builds in the last 10 years so it's only now we're starting to see um you know a lot more properties coming on the market but the demand is still there because again it all comes back to materials and building the one off is still trigger at the moment than buying something that's already there yeah and we wonder how we compare with other counties in terms of property turnover uh you know in terms of buying it and then selling it on down the line we probably rely more so don't we on on new builds to sort of keep the keep the wheels moving yeah yeah but again until lately there i suppose there weren't a lot built uh it's only in the last few years down around so i think all down around all time maybe the last three years that you have been developments uh i'm not sure if this is one for for yourself uh dallo maybe an accountant but you might be able to help myself and my partner are not yet thinking about getting a house it's about five years down the line what can we do now to make the process easier for example we don't have a joint account is that essential i'd imagine a joint account would be is it essential i don't know no but uh the biggest thing is and it's probably more for a mortgage broker to uh to give advice on but your spend before like say the two years previous to you applying for a mortgage is so important get your deposit together and just watch your spending because that's what it'll all be judged on and then also it's it's different to uh for if yourself employed it's more difficult then to get a mortgage so uh they they can look at up to three years i think figures at least um it all boils down to how extravagant you are very and there are there i've seen the forms myself and i speak to people in the industry you're talking about that important two years in advance i'm not sure how big a factor it is but i have seen the box for uh lotto and for lotto and also for transferring to gambling companies as well it does appear on some of those forms yeah they'll they'll see it you know and and that will just reflect very negatively against an application so you just you need to be smart and you know yeah here's a call of suspicious of a bargain uh and its last one for now if a house is well under market value does it mean there's a problem with it i mean why is it well under value it's it's it's a question like it's a red flag it's a red flag yeah i mean it could be it's at the market value of what it's worth so uh there there may be a planning issue that hasn't been started or there's there's an issue there anyway i mean you're not going to give away for do you do diligence that's the question or write Adele of Adele Quinn

lotion shame you can't smell it over the radio all this choice starts with aldi every day amazing all right um we are joined on the program now by uh david frill david how are you getting on thanks for taking the call good afternoon greg how's things it's good it's good right now you posted a comment did you was it on a uh a bbc post on on social media uh tell us that what the post was and the thrust of your comment david if you don't mind well for for some of the listeners who don't know greg um i'm a member of the travel community um and i was approached by bbc and to do one of the factors behind the high um suicide rates and per mental health of irish travelers so i was kind of reluctant that the start and i wasn't sure um to engage in the program because unfortunately you know when you're in that public sphere you're open to the public debate and opinion and so on so anyway i did i did the program with the bbc and it was quite an eloquent and very kind of provoking an emotionally led kind of program talking about my experiences as a traveler and man and donnie gall in terms of mental health and you know when we're going through the issues i was talking about you know racism and discrimination and you know the kind of prejudice um the embedded prejudices in our society against travelers so the documentary was kind of um shown worldwide it was on bbc international and so on so bbc obviously had it on their twitter platform and i was just going through the twitter platform he kind of shortly after and i was reading through the comments and it was just you know completely reflective of the just reinforced great and actually proved the discriminatory and racist attitudes of individuals and this was um and this was in plain sight as well because if i'm looking down a couple of these comments right and i'm replacing some of the slurs against the traveler community with maybe some slurs that might be used against people of color and i don't think they would be on twitter or facebook for a second before they were removed but here this is people expressing their prejudice using really offensive terms in plain sight it's so obviously within at least a cohort of people having a go at travelers is fair game i think i think it just reflects um greg became of attitude towards the general population towards travelers which is kind of historically situated i think it has been perpetuated throughout the years in terms of who the last accessible form of racism on my island of ireland now that's not creating a hierarchy greg between us and the black community in terms of who faces worst racism or discrimination but what would be kind of evidence is it's it's much more accessible and that's why you know minister how mackin t is kind of working on the the criminal justice or the hate crime bill and kind of you know um reimagining this but it needs to be implemented it needs to have really kind of strong provisions against hate speech like you see there that kind of individual racism against travelers and it's personally affecting greg you know in terms of yourself and your identity and your ethnicity because regardless of what kind of a resiliency you have or what kind of position that you're in you do internalize these these negative connotations around around your culture or ethnicity you know and and i have a son and to be very frankly honest and this is terrible in 2022 that we're sitting saying this but i'm generally scared for him going up uh and and the negativity and the prejudice and the racism and discrimination all these overlapping kind of um um i think if you'd like to say that's going to be faced against them just on the single entity of the ethnicity nothing else yes and and and the identity crisis that causes because we know some people might change their name um for example how is that being you know proud proud of your heritage or your your your your background you shouldn't be you shouldn't find yourself in anyone shouldn't find themselves in that position for example and that's just one element of it but greg and we have this kind of mental health crisis this is what the program was centered on this mental health crisis was in the travel community suicide uh is 11 percent of all travelers death we have the highest suicide rates among any indigenous ethnic minority in europe and anywhere else this would be an absolute crisis and as you just said anyone knows if you're lgbt if you're from the black community if you're having an identity crisis it correlates with poor mental health and then that's being perpetuated by the general population as that we're undeserving devaluated subjugated group obviously has an impact on individuals mental health and the community's mental health you know um and what do we do david in in terms of and we only for a couple of minutes now we should have more time we have to return to this but like banning people using this language on social media uh that's that just hides what's out there right so in some ways maybe it's uh it's not better but sometimes we can see what people think right so what do we do how do we get past this right it's unacceptable nowadays for people to publicly uh speak like this about a lot of minority groups okay and that's the way it should be for everyone but clearly it's not people have a view uh and they feel they're entitled to express it so what do we do to rather than fixing a symptom in other words hiding what people are thinking and saying what can we do to try and change attitudes i think that's kind of multi-dimensional greg but like as we see in irish society you know settled white irish people um are afforded most of the political and traditional economic power so i think it has to trickle through like if we think of education just for example we're fighting since 2000 and for a couple of years now for the for the traveller culture and history to be implemented in schools to educate children about traveller culture you know children and then when i was in the playground it was very much similar and that's not that long ago children learn from their parents and if their parents have negative attitudes or using slur words that they won't say on the radio or by travellers um then that kind of beats embedded in them as well so they perpetuate that so like that bill is a remedy they're proposed by travellers and other senators in the government to be implemented and won't be implemented and is being being um being um kind of uh impeded in its implementation um but i think it's about representation kreg it's holding though the countable we've seen in donny gall especially it's been rife of politicians openly standing up and and and spewing anti-traveller rhetoric so if it's acceptable for them then general society thinks it's acceptable and there's no repercussions you know the hate crime legislation that was there there was many complaints net about a particular um politician who made really per the negative comments about travellers um and there was no repercussions partner with tv programs do it the media do it they spend all this kind of you know really negative images perpetuate and really negative images about travellers but there's no repercussions so it has to come from that institutional and systemic place great because people on the ground and the grassroots levels don't have the power to make that change we can influence it but it lies with the government to implement like the likes of the travel history and culture bill the hate crime legislation we have to change them attitudes but unfortunately here in ireland and it's absolutely right racism discrimination and oppression are like shadows that hang over the traveller community racism hangs there between us and the state of population and it's creating this divide and the divide is getting ever bigger as these things are worsening not improving yeah all right david thanks for your time i said it's worse i'm not improved and i was agreeing with you just in case there was any misunderstanding there no david thank you very much indeed david freel there okay we'll be back with you tomorrow morning at nine have a great


How to build professional relationships at work is a challenge for us all, whether new into a job, working with new colleagues, aiming for a promotion, trying to increase your influence within the workplace, etc. I share eight tried and tested ways to increase the speed at which you build professional relationships at work and improve the quality of your professional relationships. Building more and better professional relationships at work at all levels helps you personally in so many ways. The key ones being, firstly, it makes you more effective at work, i.e. you deliver more and you influence more, etc. Secondly, increasing your enjoyment at being at work. And thirdly, increasing the likelihood of being promoted. And as you head towards and through the management ranks, your ability to build good professional relationships with all colleagues, suppliers and customers becomes more and more important for further career progression. My name is Jess Coles and I've had a 25 year management career in corporates and household names through to SMEs. I learnt how to build professional relationships quickly from the CEO through to interns and have often been a go-to person in many companies. I've worked at as a result of those relationships. Let me share with you my secrets of how to build good professional relationships quickly. And if you're new to this channel, enhance.training shares, business and people management expertise to help you improve your performance and that of your team and business. And if you like this video, please give it a thumbs up and subscribe. So the starting point in how to build professional relationships at work is to be a likeable person. Be friendly to your colleagues and everyone where you work. Smile and greet them by name when you see people in the corridor at the water cooler in meetings etc. Be open and honest when you speak to others and when you work with them. And show your personality and be yourself. Be kind, considerate and friendly. In short, give your colleagues plenty of reasons to think positively towards you. Don't gossip about colleagues or those that you know outside of work. Don't spread negative rumors, don't openly criticise others. Word will get around that you gossip, criticise etc. And you will reduce the trust that people have in you. You can't build good professional relationships without trust. So be friendly and positive. Be interested in getting to know as many people around you as you can. These actions will help you get off to a good start in building professional relationships at work. The second action in how to build professional relationships at work is to meet face to face. You know humans are social creatures and we like meeting people in person. And there are a lot more ways to interact with others these days and all have their uses. The quickest and surest way to build professional relationships is spending time with others face to face. So make the effort to visit the colleague even if it does take longer to get up from a desk and walk up the stairs to their desk. Don't use the phone when you can fit in a face to face chat. You know saying that it is not always practical to always meet face to face. So when thinking about how to build professional relationships the order to use communication methods with the most important first is firstly face to face, secondly video call, thirdly phone call and fourth email chat, text, direct message etc. When two people talk studies have proven that the word set account for only 7% of what is communicated. The tone of voice conveys 38% of the meaning and the body language 55%. This is why meeting face to face is so important. You get so much more information and you can build trust much more quickly. The third action in how to build professional relationships at work is to do your homework before meeting. Learn as much about the other person as possible. What is their style at work? For instance if you are using the insights framework as an example are they detailed, action, relationships or socially orientated? How do they like others communicating with them? What are they responsible for at work and what is expected of these people? What common acquaintances do you both have? And who do they socialise with at work? You know find out. And outside of work what do they like doing? What are their hobbies and what is their family situation? In short, find enough information that you can ask a couple of questions to get them talking about themselves. If you want to build a good professional relationship you need to be interested in them and what they think and feel. Asking questions about their favourite subjects is a great way to get to know more about them and set them at ease. Fourth, when thinking about how to build professional relationships at work, find excuses to meet with those you want to build a professional relationship with. Here are some suggestions of how to do this. Firstly ask for an introductory meeting with those you wish to get to know. Make the meeting about them, not you. Similar tactics are to invite the person to coffee say or to lunch. Second, reciprocity. Find out what projects they're working on and proactively provide analysis, introductions, insight or something of value to them in completing their project. This is such a good tactic. Third, ask the person for their input and opinion on an activity or project that you're working on. And fourth, send them an article or report that you know will be useful to them and then ask to meet. Find any sensible work-based excuse to contact the person you want to build a relationship with. Think, how can I be valuable to them? Fifth, when building professional relationships at work, don't forget to build a personal relationship as well as a professional relationship. If you keep your relationships entirely focused on the professional side, i.e. what is happening at work, your relationships will be much shallower, less useful and less enjoyable than if you also include a focus on the other person's personal side. Find out what their hobbies are, what their interests are and what is important in their life. Do they play a sport, you know, coach a youth team or do charity work? Do they have a favourite sports team they follow? Are they currently learning a new language or planning an exotic holiday? Do they have young children or a new pet? What gets them excited? Think of questions to ask that will get them talking about a favourite subject. A pro tip, keep notes about each person's key interests. When you have to remember the interests of more than, say, 20-30 people, your notes can become very useful indeed. And don't forget to tell them about yourself too. Make sure the focus is on them more than you. Sixth, when considering how to build professional relationships at work, always aim to help first and ask second. Helping others first is employing the social law of reciprocity, which is really powerful. Don't even think about trying to build a professional relationship at work based on what you want. Make the time to work out how you can help the other person and deliver this. Yes, you will put in more time and effort up front with this approach. I can guarantee you, you will get all this investment back several times over with 19 out of 20 people by getting a better or trusting relationship much quicker. In conversations seek to understand what pressures the other person is under and what are the key blockers or challenges they are facing. Once you understand their position then and only then start to talk about your position and what you might want. Think, how can I help this person? What can you or your team do to make their life easier? Or what will get their project or activity finished quicker or better? Actively look for opportunities to help the person that you want to build a professional relationship with. Understanding what the other person needs or wants is the first step. Delivering against this is the next crucial step. The seventh and in my view the most important action when building professional relationships at work is to deliver what you say and to do so when you say. Within a business everyone's work impacts on colleagues and ultimately the wider team. If you don't deliver you'll let others down and the quality of your professional relationship will be limited. Being good at what you do or at least good enough is very important in building professional relationships. Deliver what you've said that you're going to deliver. Being nice alone is just not enough. Think about the people around you at work. You are likely to have a person that is nice, enjoyable to be around, personable yet does an okay job at best. Compare how they are thought of to those that are just as nice to work with and deliver day in, day out. Those that deliver consistently enjoy firstly a higher standing in the team, secondly their opinions carry more weight, thirdly they are given the better projects and activities, fourth they have more influence in the business and fifth colleagues are keen to work with them. In short the people that deliver consistently and employ the other actions that we've talked about build strong professional relationships that help them be significantly more effective at work. Their stronger professional relationships become a key factor in their outperformance. Make sure you deliver. The eighth action when learning how to build professional relationships at work is to ensure consistency of effort and action in maintaining your relationships at work. We put effort into what we value. To build strong professional relationships quickly everything you do must be done with consistency. What better way through your actions to make clear that you value the relationships that you are building. Don't put the effort in one week but not the next week and so on. Consistency of action is a great way to build trust. Put the effort in consistently. So in summary the eight actions you should take to build good professional relationships quickly are firstly be a likable person, secondly meet face to face, thirdly do your homework, fourth find excuses to meet, fifth build a personal as well as a professional relationship, sixth aim to help first and ask second, seventh deliver what you say you will and eighth ensure consistency of effort and action. Building good professional relationships at work in my experience makes a huge difference to how your colleagues view how effective you can be in your role particularly as you head into the management ranks and how much influence that you can exert on those around you and how much you enjoy being at work. These benefits easily outweigh the effort of building good professional relationships.

Thanks for watching and I look forward to speaking to you again soon.


Hi guys, Brian here and we're just doing a really quick little bit of a light highlight on men's short hair today. We had someone ask us last week, how do you transfer highlights from a longer hairstyle on a guy to a shorter hairstyle? So here you go. Max was just using the big tooth on my comb, the raptor claw, dipping it in my lightener and then just working off of his natural hair pattern. I want something that's going to compliment how his hair is going to lay. So I'm going with all the catalyzed swirls, texture, if there's a wave, anything like that. And then just very lightly starting down close to the root. You don't have to worry about getting it down on the scalp because we're going for just more of a natural sun lightened kind of effect. And what the tooth of the comb is going to do is it's going to reach into the hair section and then just sort of highlight both sides of as you comb that through. So it's just a very light skimming through the top of whatever section you're doing. As I came through here I did use clips to pull out of the way so you can work nice and neat and clean. And then just looking at where his part is, where I want to see that blonde, where I want his base just broken up a little bit. So just coming through and a little brush brush and a brush brush and then we just let it lighten and then you're good to go. All right, thanks.
