Alright, the giveaway for this video, giveaway feather of the Phoenix for Play Me Eternity first edition. We've got an unlimited Magician's Force Amazonus archers and unlimited swords of revealing a light superhero, check that out. Slight foil shift on it too so that's pretty cool.

Alright, 18 booster packs of the original Legend of Blue Eyes 2002 print. Not first edition, but still, almost as old, possibly as old, who knows, they might have printed them at the same time.

Adventures by Morse. Carlton E. Morse presents Dead Men prowl, featuring Captain Friday. If you like high adventure, come with me. If you like the stealth of intrigue, come with me. If you like blood and thunder, come with me. Three men have been killed in the tiny isolated village of Holman, across the bay from San Francisco. Three killed and a corpse on the prowl. The corpse of one of the dead men, for at least two people have seen Doc Sims prowling about the street after his body was carried to the morgue. Dr. Jamie Croft had gone to Holman as a weekend guest of Captain Friday. On the beach, they had found Holman's Mayor Coroner, Doc Sims, dead. At the morgue, they found the village half-wit, Rich Hartley, on the marble slab shot through the heart. And finally, Andres and Carmel Ruiz, cousins, had found their uncle Andrew Waters hanged in his home. Doc Sims and Waters were the two rich men of Holman. Captain Friday, you take up the story here. Holman had not had a death for twenty years, and three sudden deaths roused my interest. With Dr. Croft, I took Andres and Carmel to my beach cottage. In the middle of the night, I launched Dr. The Village, and two more people entered the picture. They were Gail Stanley and her brother, Martin, niece and nephew of Doc Sims. They'd been called from their home in Santa Barbara by a telegram announcing Doc Sims' death. But the telegram had been sent while Sims was still alive. There were three bedrooms in Captain Friday's cottage. The two girls were put in one, and suddenly, under their open window came the strange, terrifying rattling of bones. Carmel thought it was the skeleton. Against the younger girl's warning, Gail Stanley went to the window. But Gail refused to heed Carmel. She leaned out. Let go of her throat! Carmel! Carmel, my cousin, have you gone mad? Son of partition, where is everyone? I don't know. Outside the window. Oh, Mike, who was that screaming? Dr. Croft. Gail Stanley? It dragged you out of the window. My word. Come with me, Doctor. You got a gun? I'll get along very nicely. Andres, watch after your cousin. See, sir. Here we are. Now, Gail Stanley's gone all right, and pulled her out of the window. Captain, let's go through the window. He or it can't get very far, carrying a 110-pound girl. Yeah, the moon's still good. Should be able to follow. Easy now. I'm down, Captain. Come on. Stand to one side. There. You see anything, Dr. Croft? Not a soul in sight. I'll be careful where you step, Doctor. There'll be footprints. Right. I don't see any. Oh, yeah. Here they are. Which way? Seemed to lead around the house and up on the grass, out of the sand. I see. You have a match, Captain? Better than that. A flashlight. Right. You notice anything about these footprints, Captain? I'll be a son of a gun. Nobody carrying a girl in his arms would make that sort of a track. Not likely. But what did he do with her? Might have dumped her in the ocean. Well, in that case, the tracks would lead to the edge of the surf. Let's have a look. Could have strangled her and thrown her in. And that would be the end of Gail Stanley and the tide's right, too, to carry her out to sea. No tracks going down to the ocean. Just a minute, Captain. Girl kidnapped from my own house and murdered. The fine reputation I'll have. Captain. Captain Friday. Here. Right down to the window.  You've gone nuts. Captain, if you value a human life... What's that? You mean the girl's buried here? No. Faster, man. Faster. She can't be very, very deep. Couldn't have had much time. Die of bollocks. Here she is. I've uncovered her feet. Keep at it. Her head's where you're digging. Now, you give me a hand. Oh, the poor child. Stop to sympathize.  Righto. Is she dead? I don't know yet. There. I think we can pull her out. Yeah. Easy, easy. Careful now. Careful. There. Now, lay her down. I want to see about her heart. What's the verdict? Oh, splendid. Her heart still beating strong. Respiration's weak. Very alive. All that terror. Now, I'm going to give her a few artificial respiration measures to force the air out of her lungs. Watch closely how I do it so that you can believe me if it takes longer than I think. Now, one, two, one, two, one, two. See, Captain Friday? Press. Release. Press. Release. Forces the air out. The lungs automatically refill with fresh air. It's a crude first aid method, but it's working. Lucky we found her when we did. None of the ten minutes. It would have been too late. Wet sand packed around her face. That's one up for you, Doctor. I can't figure out yet how you knew she was buried there. The fact that the man didn't carry her away was the first tip. I noticed that wet, pyramid-like stain against the side of the house. Evidently, this amateur gravedigger threw the sand against the house. Yeah. Missed it all together. Fine detective I turned out to be. What next? I noticed the sand had been disturbed. We can be thankful the sand was wet. That's smart work, Doctor. I gotta hand it to you. How's the girl? Doing well. It's going to be all right. Look here. Look here, have you got my sister out there? Is that you, Stanley? Yes. Where are you? Leaning out of the window right above you. Is that Gale? Yeah, what about it? What's the matter with her? What are you doing to her? It's causing you to climb out the window and find out. No. You can do better than that. Don't tell Carmel and Andres to put a cup of coffee on. She'll eat something hot. But see here, what's the matter? We're gonna toss a blanket out of the window. We're bringing her in now. Here, Stanley, we want a blanket. I heard. And do what you're told and hurry. You don't need to snap my head off. She's breathing regularly now. It's going to be all right. Here's the blanket. Catch her. All right. Now go tell Carmel and Andres. Why didn't I better help? Say, listen here, Stanley. Oh, all right. All right. Hand him a dump. Spread the blanket out and help me lift the girl onto it. Okay? How's that? Good. Take her legs. Now, they're spending a hot water, I suppose. Yeah. Well, we'll want to get Aunt Bax on her.  Yeah, that'll do. Now, can we carry her together? I can carry her along. Yeah, with it.  Well, have it your own way. I'll go ahead with the flash. Okay, you lead the way. Yeah, that poor kid. Well, keep away from those footprints, Doctor. I want to give them a closer look in the morning. Good idea, Captain. Look here. I think we'd better reassign rooms for the rest of the night. Neither of the girls will be willing to go back to their room. Don't blame them. Well, naturally. Supposing then, you and I take the girls' room. We'll let Andres and Young Stanley get along as best they can, and we'll put Carmel and Gale in my room. The windows are high and small. No one likely to get in them unnoticed. We can lock the door into the hallway, and the door opening between the two bedrooms will be an added protection for them in case of emergency. Oh, that's okay. Can you get in the door with her? Yeah. Get in sideways. All right. Easy. There you are. Good. They've got the fire built up. Here, here. They're on the lounge. Yeah. Yeah, everyone won't be out in the kitchen. What do you say? Carmel? What now? Stay with the girl, doctor. All right.  What's going on? Captain, make them stop fighting. Stop fighting. Hear you two. What's this about? Here's the upload.  Oh, you will, will you? Well, that black eye is just a... Take it easy, Stanley. As if we didn't have enough trouble without her. It's a reason for all this rumpus. There is reason on planning. It's me. Oh, you. It's not funny. But see here, Carmel. Male attention is meat and drink to most girls. Hey, but Captain, this Stanley person insult my cousin. Insult, huh? What are you up to, Stanley? Is it an insult to admire a girl? Yeah, but we... Look, you give her. Hands off, Stanley. Do you're admiring from a distance. Matter of fact, you might be showing a little more concern about your sister. You said she was all right. One in the front room.  Dr. Croft is with your sister. Please, Captain Friday, may I wait for you? Well, if you like.  Okay, have it your own way. Please, Captain Friday. Well? What did you mean about... about men being meat and drink to most girls? Out of the convent and into the fire. What? See here, Carmel. You've got to expect a certain amount of attention.  Now you're out in it. One of these days, you'll want to marry, won't you? Why, yes. Of course. Well, I've got to have men around you. Otherwise, how are you to know which man you'll want to marry? Oh. Yeah.  You'll be very diplomatic. Appease all of them. Keep the friendship of all of them until you discover which is the one you want. But how does the girl tell which one she wants? Don't worry, you'll know. It's automatic. But take my advice and see if you can't keep those two young Romeo's from each other's throats. Try it. I've got to hunt you have a neck for diplomacy. Well, I'll try. Now let's go into the other room. Am I now running into any trouble you come to me? Hi, Stanley. Goal, Captain Friday. Your sister's coming, too. Coming, too, huh? All right, Doctor, we'll take care of her. I took you a long time to get that hot water, Captain. Had to settle an international dispute. See here, Miss Stanley's pyjamas are wet from the stand. She must have something dry. Carmel, get some fresh pyjamas out of her bag. Oh, uh, Andres. See? You go along with her. Hurry now. Assuredly. Call my cousin. Captain, will you bring out a cloth in this hot water, please? And bathe her face and arms. The pulse is good. And the respiration's normal. Are you going to be OK, Doctor? Oh, no doubt about it. You see how the color's coming into her face? It's better if we can get her into dry things before she comes, too. We found another pair of pyjamas in the bathroom. Will they do? Nicely. Now then, Captain, you and the two young men clear out for a few minutes. Carmel, you stay here. Yes, sir. Emily. Oh, we're going to have Miss Stanley back with us any moment now. Doctor, will she cry? Cry? Oh, I don't think so. But she'll be very ill. She's had a terrible experience. Gayle never cries about anything. She was very near the brink of death.  Emily. Look. Look, the expression on her face. Oh, she's terribly afraid. What's the matter with her, Doctor? You said my sister'd be all right. You said she'd be all right. What's the matter with her? What have you done to her? Easy, Stanley. What have you done to my sister? What have you done to her? Gayle Stanley is alive.  Choked and dragged out of her bedroom window by the skeleton and left lying on the wet sand for dead is an experience out of a nightmare. When she began to come to, her mental horror was so terrifying she frightened her brother almost to the point of hysteria. Something's happened to her. Gayle never cries. What have you done to her? You think something is wrong with her, eh? You know she was dragged from her bedroom window by some creature and was bedded to life in the wet sand and you stand there asking, is something wrong with her? Yes. Is she insane? Insane. What kind of a guy are you, Stanley? Well, I never saw my sister act like that before. You don't seem to understand. It is terrible to approach death, but not while half so terrible as to return to life after you have once looked on the other side. You mean she'll know what dying's like when she comes to? Perhaps. Don't you see all the delicate machinery of her body came almost to a standstill? It was a terrible strain on her system, getting it started again. Captain Friday, can you carry her again? Sure, Doctor, why? Well, bring her back to the room she's to occupy. Now, you two men, gather up all the extra blankets you can find and heat them one at a time before the fire and bring them to me. Most assured. Right away. Er, Carmel, see if you can't find a hot water bottle. Fill it and bring it. Yes, sir. Now then, Captain, bring her along. Then, uh, easy there. Say, my sister must be pretty sick. Is that as bad as you feel? Oh, let me alone. Look here, Andre, sir. I'll hunt her out for blankets and you warm them and take them into the doctor. Here's one. Er, very well, if you wish. Andre, sir. There is a hot water bag in the bathroom. It hangs behind the door. I saw it. Do you think it's safe for me? Come on, I'll go with you together. No. I think she's safer alone. Oh, you do, do you? Well, I, I... Don't be so dramatic, Andres. Of course Mr. Stanley will look out for me. Please do come. You want me to come? Of course. But Carmel, I... Please, let's hurry. Dr. Croft wants the bag right away. How am I doing, Cousin Andres? Here it is. I'll have to get hot water in the kitchen. Okay. You'd better look for more blankets, Mr. Stanley. I won't be afraid in the kitchen. Oh, please. Don't act like that. But you're hurting me. So tight, don't you? You are pretty. I thought you weren't a gentleman tonight. Say, you asked me to come along, didn't you? Because I was afraid. You know, I could go for help. Why don't you? Because I'd feel sorry for what would happen to you. Oh. Haven't you that much consideration for me? You're going up in a hurry. You don't sound like the frightened baby I tried to kiss out in the kitchen. Less than an hour ago. If you'll take your hands off of me. Thank you. I'll go and find more blankets. I'll be doggone. All right, you win. You're sure you're not afraid to go back alone. Please. You'll wait here until I get down the hall. All right. I'll watch until you're safe. Oh, there you are. Yes. I was just getting ready to come and look for you. That would have been foolish, Andres. Oh, I see you had the hot water bottle. Shall I go to the kitchen with you? If you keep talking, I won't be afraid. See, I've taken two blankets into the doctor. Miss Stanley, she stopped crying now. The doctor, he give her something. She's talking with them. Do you hear me, Carmel? Yes. Please keep talking. Well, the doctor is giving her medicine to make her sleep. He says these hot blankets will make her drowsy. Oh, you have it filled already, huh? Good. Well, I have another blanket ready. We will go together, right? I wish you would come with me, Andres. Carmel, did these Stanley fellow bother you? I've got a silly question. Because if he did... Please, don't bother your head about it. Then he did. Mr. Stanley was a gentleman, Andres. Well, then it was an accident. Here, they have put Miss Stanley in here. Oh, yes, I'd forgotten. And as I leaned out of the window, two strong hands grabbed me around the throat. Well, didn't you see the face? Just for a second. It sort of swam before my eyes. I was being choked and... Anybody you ever saw before? No. No, I couldn't tell. It wasn't like a normal face. It was all puffed out. Almost round. And the eyes. The eyes were dead. Oh, here, here, Miss Stanley. Take another sip of this. It will help you to forget. Dead eyes, bloated face. Nobody in Hallman of that description. No one answering the description of the skeleton Carmel and Andres saw either, is there? Curly. Is there anything else you saw, Miss Stanley? Yes. Something so... so awful I can't believe I saw it. Yeah? A rope around his neck. It was tied around his neck and hanging down in front of him.  You slapped me. You're much better off slapped than in a faint. Please, Carmel, you sit down. No, no, no.  Walk about. Keep moving. You'll be all right in a moment.  Andrew Waters was found hanging tonight. Look here, Doctor, that can't be true. What can't be true? I swear Waters was dead when we found him. I know he was. And what's he doing walking around? We saw dark sims walking around. They must be going nuts. And one dead man is as much right to walk around as another? Do you know what you're talking about? No. Do you? I know one thing. I'm going over the morgue right now. If Waters has been walking around... Oh, come, Captain. You don't really believe. Well, if Miss Stanley... Look here, Miss Stanley, are you... Oh, sleep. Yes. I gave her a pretty severe sleeping potion. She'll sleep until morning. I'm going over to the morgue. You want to come along? No. I think I'd best stay here. It's only about a block. No. You take Andrew's... Where's young Stanley? Yeah, where's that guy? Have you seen him? I left him gathering up blankets about ten minutes ago. Yeah. Just a minute. What's he up to? Carmel? Yes, sir. Carmel, as soon as the Captain is gone, I want you to get into this other bed. Oh, but I couldn't sleep. I couldn't. Yes, yes, yes. You'll sleep all right. I'll see to that. Supposing... Supposing someone should... Should get in while you're asleep. No one will get in. We lock all the doors, and one of the boys will be here with me. We'll keep a lookout. Oh, yeah? Maybe you were, and maybe you weren't. Come on in here. Don't try to manhandle me. I don't care who you are. Here, here. You're not so loud, Stanley. Can't you see your sister sleeping? I was in my room getting a blanket, and this fella jumped on me and began pushing me around. Getting a blanket, huh? Didn't think I saw you stick this revolver down under the covers, did you? That's my gun. Yeah, sure. That's what I'm telling you. What you doing with it? Just got it out of my grip for protection. Yeah? And why did you hide it when I came in? Person ought to be able to protect himself without letting the whole world in on it. Yeah? Give it back to me. Okay, baby. I'll be mighty careful what I did with it. Now then, Doctor, I'm going over to the morgue. Andres will go with me. If you wish. All right then, Stanley. You stay here with me. Come along, Andres. Get your hat. Dr. Kraut, you... you will look after my little cousin. Oh, don't worry. She'll be safe and sound asleep on your turn. Ready, Andres? I am coming, see. Good night, Carmenille. Be careful, Andres. Be careful, please. You must now worry for me. Good night. All right, let's step on it. Still moonlight? See, it does not seem possible. This is the same night we first met. So much as half. It doesn't look that. Look here, Andres. There's something I've been wanting to ask you. Here we can take this path across the lot. It's shorter. See. Well, what is it you wish to ask? You were, as far as we know, the last to see your Uncle Andrew alive. I do not know that. I was with him just before I left to meet Carmella to trade. That's what I mean. Andres, what frame of mind was he in when you left? Oh, very much interest in what Carmelle would be like. We talked for almost an hour, making plans. Oh, it's not a suicidal frame of mind. Oh, no, no, Senor. I am sure he did not come to the plate suicide. No, it was not possible. Yet who would murder a man by hanging him? And what man would stand around and let himself be hanged? If you were unconscious before... Captain Friday, look. A body. Is someone else dead? There's only one way of finding out. See? He is sprawled out. It's Dark Sims, buddy. He'll job you. The dead man who we see? Still wrapped up in his sheet. Here. Andres, help me turn him on his back. Is his heart go? No. But we see him walking. Well, you can tell by looking at his face that he's dead. Oh. This is most horrible thing. Well, come on, there's nothing to do but take him back to the morgue. Senor, you wish me... I'll take a couple of steps back. Grab a hold of his legs. Oh, I do not like these. Yeah, maybe you think I do. You grab a hold. Ready? All right, let's go. Put him in the morgue. Here, hang on. Don't let him slip. I have not let him slip. He moved. We'll put him in the morgue and have Dark Croft come down and give him another examination. Not much use, though. I know a dead man when I see one. Oh, this is bad thing. Yeah, this is the place. Lower him to the porch while I unlock the door. See. Well, I'll be. The door's unlocked. And I locked it, sure as I'm a foot high. Senor, you think someone else has been here? The door didn't unlock itself. Come on, let's carry him in. Where will we take him? Right straight through to the inner room where the other bodies are. Oh, please. Please, I would rather not look at him if you do not mind. Okay, look the other way. I shall have to help me get Dark Sims in. Very well. If it is necessary. Yeah. You're right in here. See, careful. And now then, lay him on the floor while I turn on the lights. Oh, before you turn on the lights, I will go out. Wait for me outside the door. For sure, Senor. Well, I'll be a son of a gunner. Is your call, Captain? Andres. Andres, the half-foot boy's body is gone. It was here on the slant. Senor. Senor, you think maybe he is walking? Look. Look at your uncle's shoes, Andres. Wet sand on them. They're all around his neck. Fellow. I'm beginning to think dead men do walk. The village half-foot boy is gone. And the shoes on the corpse of Andrew Waters covered with wet sand. Here is evidence that the dead may rise and go about their morbid duties. You will hear the fourth episode of Dead Men Proul, entitled Conversation with the Walking Dead next week at the same hour. You are listening to Adventures by Mort.

Hi, everyone. My name is Chi-Dem. I'm a product manager at Spotify. Today, I'll be talking about how to navigate different personalities as a product manager. I wanted to cover this topic today because needless to say, communication is at the heart of every product manager's day-to-day life. Sometimes you will have conflicts, difficult conversations, or at any occasion it will be important to understand the differences between people to communicate effectively. Another reason is that I'm a complete nerd about psychology and personalities, and this is an interesting topic for me to talk about. As part of this presentation, I will also give some examples to some personas that you might encounter in your PM life and talk about some strategies to communicate with them. So let's start. Product managers work with a wide variety of people every day, engineers, stakeholders, engineering managers, designers, other PMs, and so on. And these people are not only diverse in terms of demographics or their experiences, but they're also diverse cognitively. Cognitive diversity is the assortment of certain characteristics, including personality traits and communication styles. Cognitive diversity is the reason that some people seem to just get you. You click with them, but with some people, you feel a disconnect or misunderstandings happen a lot. The people you connect easier probably share some of your characteristics or your communication style. Let's dive a bit deeper into personality. Definition of personality is roughly characteristic patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that make a person unique. People show differences in how they respond to same situations based on their personality traits. The way we go about our life, the way we dress, how we talk to someone, how we react to situations, these would follow the same kind of patterns if we were to examine our lives. We sometimes find ourselves saying things like, oh, this is so typical of Jane, or if you know a person enough, you predict the way they'll react to things. All these are because you observed them and you got an idea of their personality. There are different frameworks to measure and classify different personality types, and there are several assessments and inventories for each. These are the top three frameworks that are widely used. While there are many different personality frameworks, they largely focus on similar attributes. I'm not gonna go into detail about these frameworks. I encourage you to check them all. You might already be familiar with Myers-Briggs type indicator. It has kind of made a place for itself in culture nowadays. You can find the online assessment for it in the internet and find your own type, but take it with a grain of salt as Myers-Briggs theory is not backed up with empirical data. Out of these three models, only the five factor is empirically supported. If we want to communicate effectively with everybody, we might need to employ different communication strategies for different personalities. What I did here is I created some example personas that I have myself encountered in my PM life. These will seem a bit stereotypical and they are for the sake of this presentation, but I'm pretty sure you're going to encounter a blend of these characters during your PM life. And I'm gonna suggest some strategies to follow for each persona. So our first persona is Annie. Annie is very reserved and generally quiet. She does not contribute to discussions and likes to work alone. It seems like Annie has an introverted personality. Introversion is a scale. Some people are more introverted than others and it does not necessarily mean they are shy or unfriendly. Unlike extroverts who gain energy from social interactions, introverts consume energy in social situations. The worst thing you could do here is to expect her to behave like an extrovert. Don't make her feel like she have to pretend to fit in. It will be very counterproductive. Introverts tend to prefer small groups and quiet settings or crowds. They might feel more comfortable doing things alone or with one or two people. And they tend to open up after getting to know you better. So try to establish a one-to-one relationship with Annie. Have some coffee breaks together, go to lunch together. If you're at the office, get to know each other. She would feel more comfortable around you after getting to know you outside of work context, outside of meetings as well. Don't put her in the spotlight in the meetings. Give her time to prepare for her answers. If you're calling for a meeting, inform her about the goal of the meeting in advance so she can prepare. Well, in fact, you should be doing this with every meeting in my opinion, but it's especially important when it comes to introverts. Maybe she is more comfortable with writing instead of talking. So when you need to ask her something, instead of calling her, maybe you can just message each other over Slack or something. And make sure her opinion is heard. She might have brilliant ideas that are not being incorporated because she felt intimidated to voice them. You can get her ideas in one-to-one settings as well if she doesn't feel comfortable in groups. And definitely don't forget the credit her work. Well, credit everybody's work, but usually it's the louder people in the room who get the most recognition and introverts tend to not get enough credit for their work. So make sure to show them that their contribution is seen and valued. Let's go to our second persona, Andy. Andy is the opposite of any. He is super extroverted. He's the one who dominates the discussions. He has the desire to take charge and tends to impose his point of view. So this could be someone in your engineering team or it could be a fellow PM or a stakeholder. A very confident and loud personality may come across as the most persuasive, but there are other opinions in the room too. They could make less assertive people feel uncomfortable sharing their opinions, which would result in the loss of potentially good ideas. So if you're in a meeting together and you feel like this one person is dominating the discussion, you can create space for others by asking directly to give their thoughts too. Something like, Jenny, what do you think about what Andy says? This would help the less dominant people in the room feel included and also suddenly remind Andy that other people's opinions should be heard too. And when communicating with Andy, be assertive and firm, have a neutral stance. If you try to suggest something in a meek manner, he might walk all over you and dismiss your idea. So stand your ground and focus on tangible facts and data. You can look for win-win opportunities, common grounds, where they feel less compelled to brush you aside. And dominant people are usually willing to take on new challenges. They're action-oriented and hands-on. So if this person is in your engineering team, for example, you can incorporate his strengths for the team's success. Like he might be great at presentations or you can have him in your pitch meetings to back you up. He probably would enjoy being part of these and you get to use his strengths in your product's favor. Our third persona is Mark. Mark is sensitive and impulsive. He struggles with taking criticism, deflects blame onto others. This is a guy that you probably wouldn't want in your social circle, but here you are working in the same product team or same company. You may subconsciously try to keep away from him, try to avoid confrontation unless it's absolutely necessary, but this is definitely how I felt when I was dealing with such people. Of course, this does not help anyone. You need his contribution to deliver products and avoiding him is not the way to go. And not addressing such behaviors will enable him continue and affect the entire team. Doesn't matter if he's a super genius engineer or a very tenured stakeholder, he shouldn't get a pass for such behaviors. So these behaviors should be addressed privately in a one-on-one conversation. I would suggest to set up a friendly coffee session or bring this up when you're grabbing lunch together. And the important thing is to describe the behaviors and how it affects you or the team and not describing him as a person. Communicate friendly, but assertively and set clear expectations and boundaries. If you're addressing the deflecting blame part, remind him that everybody works for the success of same product, we're in the same boat and nobody gets punished for mistakes. So rather than finger-pointing, let's focus on how to fix the things and go forward. And after the feedback, it can be that he will be more self-aware and he'll actually make an effort to change. Our last persona is Jenny. Jenny is pessimistic and complains a lot. She is unanticipistic about new projects and focuses on the negatives. Negativity can be contagious. This could affect the mood of the entire team. And it's hard to get negative people's buy-in. Seems like they always find a reason to disagree and they tend to prefer status quo over trying new things. But in this case, it makes sense to first try to understand why she's feeling this way because sometimes due to past experiences with failed projects or things not going as expected, people might have this emotional baggage, so to say, at disbelief. And usually this is caused by the lack of inclusion and visibility of long-term strategy. And if this is the case, you can help changing it by being more transparent with her and with the entire team. And usually listen to our concerns and make her feel heard. Only listening alone and acknowledging her concerns can reduce the negativity overall. Ask her about her alternatives and her suggestions. And while talking about these, you can ask her what's going well. You know, there must be something that she appreciates, she celebrates and emphasizing that could remind her that there are good things around as well and maybe encourage her thinking a bit more positively.  This does not mean you don't talk about risks, failures or uncomfortable topics, not at all. Cultivating positivity can be as simple as sending birthday cakes, making fun team events, sending memes, making jokes. These little things have an enormous effect to team health that will win over even the most pessimistic personalities. You can't change people's personalities, but you can shift the way engaged with them. Understanding personality traits will help you understand people around you better, allow you not to take things personally and manage your own emotions in difficult situations. So far we mostly talked about other people. Now let's take a look at our own selves. Let's talk about emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize, understand and manage your own emotions as well as the emotions of others. In order to understand other people, to empathize with them and build strong relationships, you need to leverage your own emotional intelligence. There are four pillars to each you. Self-awareness is about recognizing your own emotions and how they affect your own thoughts and behavior. Self-management is controlling impulsive feelings and behaviors, managing your emotions in healthy ways. Social awareness is understanding the emotions, needs and concerns of other people around you. And relationship management is developing and maintaining good relationships, communicate clearly, influence others and manage conflict. You can work on some strategies to master these four aspects and increase your emotional intelligence. To increase your self-awareness, you can get a feedback from people. In the work context, this could be your engineers, PM colleagues, stakeholders. And if you don't wanna do this face-to-face, you can do it via the help of some apps where people can give you anonymous feedback. And this way you can understand how people are perceiving you and your behaviors. And rather than focusing on changing or avoiding your emotions, just accept and acknowledge them and try to pinpoint what is it that you're feeling exactly and what triggered it. You may benefit from journaling. Journaling will help you understand how you react to events and how you feel in various situations. After feeling more self-aware, you will have better chances to manage yourself in certain situations. When you feel like you're emotionally charged in a situation, learn how to calm yourself with breathing techniques. Take your time before reacting, do your breathing exercise and revisit the situation after you calm down.  And learn to learn from mistakes. Think about the situation that you handle poorly and think about what could have been done better. Next time in a similar situation, try to apply those learnings. As to improve your social awareness, careful observation is the key. Give attention to how other people react to situations. Observe their bad language, facial expressions, give them their posture. And this is how you'll have an idea of people's personality traits. Practice active listening at all times. Sometimes we're too excited to say what we wanna say and in such moments, we're not actually listening but waiting for our turn to talk. And when that's the case, we might actually miss what the other person is saying. Always give your attention to the person you're talking to and try to understand. And empathize. Empathy can actually be improved by practicing it. Acknowledge your biases and talk to people without judgment. Expose yourself to people who are different than you. And actually reading fiction books will help you increase your empathy because it requires you to enter characters' lives and minds and by doing so, you will increase your capacity to understand other people's thoughts and feelings. And performing effective relationships. Strive to build trust. To build trust, focus on being consistent with your words and actions and keep your commitments. Share extensively and provide context. Adapt to different situations. This does not mean you'll give up your authenticity. You can still adapt to different people, different situations by still being authentic. The exercise we did with our personas is a good example of adapting yourself to different situations. And finally, express appreciation and feedback. People feel good about themselves when they get positive feedback. It helps them feel capable, motivated and valued. And expressing respect and appreciation to others will lead people to develop a meaningful bond with you and help you maintain positive relationships. And this brings me to the end of my presentation. It was a pleasure to talk to you and I hope you found something valuable in this. I wish you success in your PM lives and thank you for listening.
