Be Your Best
by Pat Schuler

Have you ever been so tired that you know you didn’t do your best at a networking meeting, or on a phone screening? A recent issue of Organic Style magazine reported that people with sleep problems had slower reaction times than those who were legally drunk. There is no question that periods of transition or career crossroads can be some of the toughest on our sleep cycles. And just at the time when we want to appear and be at our sharpest. No lectures – we’ve all been there.

The suggestion we offer our clients: if you have an important meeting, conversation or negotiation prepare at least two days in advance. If you need to stay up late, do so at least two days beforehand. Give all the information time to integrate and percolate. Don’t perfect your 30-second commercial or the answers to the toughest questions at 2:00am the day of the meeting.

Do what it takes to rest well the night before. You’ll appear more rested, confident and alert. Give yourself this crucial advantage over the competition.
