如何在同事間成為萬人迷?
在公司裏，總有一些光芒四射的萬人迷，而每個人都希望自己縱使不至於成為萬人迷，也一定不想成為犯眾憎。究竟，怎樣才可成為人見人愛的一員，為自己打造良好的工作氛圍，甚至令自己的仕途如虎添翼呢? 1. 樂於助人增自信：幫人總比拒人於千里之外好，不要怕被人搵笨，相信這是肯定自己價值的方法，能夠幫助別人可以增強自己的能量值，從而增加自信，而且有付出必定能聚到一班好伙伴。 2. 對世事感興趣：時刻表現出你對人對事的興趣，並且充滿熱情，能抓緊共同話題，輕易融入各個社群當中，從而得到更多關於公司各階層、各部門的最新資訊，令你工作上更加順心。另外，和同事討論、交談時也可留意增加眼神交流，這會讓他們覺得你很感興趣，你在關注他們所說的話，同時是禮貌和自信的表現。你也可提到一些關於自己的趣事，讓對話更加開放、互利。 3. 幽默感：在苦悶的工作中，擁有幽默感的確成就了不少萬人迷，他總是輕描淡寫地紓發了大家對工作的不滿，總結了大家對時事的觀點，產生共鳴之餘，又不至於只是發酵負能量，而是加入一些正面積極的笑話，讓同事的生活過得更愉快。

拆解你對公關界的5個迷思
經常會有人問我公關是否乜乜乜、公關是否物物物，其實很多人都對公關這個行業感興趣，也覺得很神秘，就讓我為你揭開他們的神秘面紗吧! 1. 有返工無放工：有返工無放工有時是一個錯覺，因為公關很多時都會在非辦公室時間辦公，例如為客戶舉行酒會、晚宴，上班時間跟一般辦公室工作很不同。當然長時間工作的確是公關界的常態，不過比較起企業內部的傳訊部門的公關和要照顧客戶需要的公關公司，後者明顯較為辛苦，也經常超時工作，因為客戶總覺得錢花了就要把你用盡，時刻在勞役他們。 2. 什麼都曉：公關牽涉的範疇有很多，包括處理公眾、股東、顧客、政府部門及其他潛在持份者的聯絡工作，也有很重要的角色是回應傳媒查詢及與傳媒打好關係。過程中，他們需要不時發放新聞公告、製作廣告、準備講辭，也有機會要籌備大型活動，或者為一些突發事件即時降溫及善後，這些都需要到很多知識的支援，所以公關，特別是提供公關服務的公司，會由很多不同專業的人士組成，團隊一般包括撰稿員、設計師、資訊科技專才，甚至工程人員等，當然他們很多時都會與外面的服務供應商合作，尋求他們的專業意見及協助。

How Managers Can Help Employees to Stop Hating Work
Let’s face it. If any of your employees win the lottery, they would stop coming to work. Most people prefer (and daydream about) never having to work another day of their lives. And yet, most people will not win the lottery, and will be clocking in day after day looking for you, their manager, to make life tolerable. Good news, however, as there are actually some research-backed ways that managers can help get employees to stop hating work.
