How to Save a Dying Succulent (What You Need to Know) - Duration: 6:43.
Hello everyone, this is Sheila.
And in this video you will learn how to save a dying succulent, like these guys right here.
So, first, let me ask you these questions?
Have you had a dying succulent?
Maybe one or two or three or four or more?
If the answer is yes, then this video is for you!
So, let's jump in!
If you would look at this succulent, there is no obvious sign of infestation and if you
would look at the rest of the succulents in the pot, these guys are obviously healthy
and were not over-watered at all.
So, what do you think happened here?
Stay until the end of this video to get the answer.
So, for now, Tip Number 1 on how to save a dying succulent is to learn to spot one.
The very first thing that you need to know is that early detection is the key.
Let me show you which succulents look like they are dying but they're not.
Why is this important?
Because when some people would see this…this, and this, they would start freaking out and
would start going crazy with watering, which only makes things worse.
Do you want to know why I know?
This was me when I was starting.
So, what are the early signs of a dying succulent?
A dying succulent would have a darkening base.
If you would look at the leaves of the plant, the upper part looks healthy, but this base
here is showing signs of rotting.
This is a telltale sign of a dying succulent, a base that's constricting with a brown
rotting color.
Once you have identified the sick succulent, we will now proceed to step number 2 on how
to save a dying succulent, which is to locate the healthy part of the plant.
If you are quick enough, you will still have healthy parts to recover and these are the
leaves and the stem that looks more green and healthy.
Make sure to cut the stem about an inch away from the rotting section.
And since we are trying to save this dying succulent, let me share with you this message:
Be a person on a mission.
Whatever you do, make sure that each of them directs you towards your goal.
Be relentless.
So from this day forward, always tell yourself, I'm a person on a mission.
Step Number 3, after cutting, check the tip and make sure that there is no sign of rot
and that the tip has a citrusy smell instead of a pungent, moldy odor.
Also make sure that the tip has calloused over, which is roughly 2 to 3 days after cutting,
and once all of these are checked, it's time to proceed to Step Number 4, which is
to plant it in a temporary pot.
I'm planting this guy in this temporary pot for now 'cause I would rather wait for
about a month and a half before adding this to a group.
It is important to put this succulent in a controlled environment with no precipitation
or source of moisture and no harsh sun exposure, that' why I'm putting this guy in this
spot indoors.
In July here in Brentwood, California, it's way too hot for a recovering plant to deal
with.
I just want to make sure that he has grown enough roots and that he is stronger before
I send him off with the rest of the gang outside.
Here's the second plant and this takes us to Step Number 5 and option number 2 on how
to save a dying succulent, which is to pluck off the healthy leaves off of the dying plant
and propagate them.
I highly suggest that you still try to propagate even the leaves that look less likely to sprout
roots, 'cause most of the time, they still do.
So, aside from replanting the part of the plant that still looks healthy, propagating
the leaves gives you higher chance of still getting that same succulent going.
As promised, let me tell you what happened to these succulents and this is a very good
learning experience for me,too.
And you will definitely learn from it.
So, although these plants are not being watered very often, as you can tell from these healthy
succulents on this side, there is something very significant about how this pot is placed.
See, this planter used to be near the fence.
I realized that the side of the pot that is closest to the fence is so protected from
the sun that the soil near that side of the planter is not drying as fast.
When I used my moisture meter to measure how wet the soil is, the front part would register
as less moist at 2 or 3, but the rear registered as really wet at 6 or 7.
So, as a very important tip, before watering, test all sides with your moisture meter.
As long as your pot still register some moisture, postpone watering.
So, even if it is just 2 for moisture, it is still over-watering.
Okay, so remember, the best tip to save a dying succulent is early detection and checking
for moisture all over the pot.
And always remember to tell yourself this, I am a person on a mission and every step
I take, leads me there.
And again, this is Sheila, your person on a mission, for Succulent Fame.
Sending you inspirations with every succulent.
Remember to give this video a thumbs up and share this video, too.
Thank you so much for watching!

You Don't F*ck With Adam Allcock - Duration: 4:09.
I hope y'all didn't think
I was gonna to forget about my roommate from last year, Adam Allcock.
Ooooh, I told ya'll in "Talk to Em."
"I know a lot of people who are well-endowed, intellectually..."
...but they ain't Allcock." I said that.
I said that.
When I introduced Siqi Mou...
I said, "His name is Adam Allcock, that means he does nothing halfway.
I said that.
I said that.
Adam and I were roommates last year; we had a great time.
The first time I knew that Adam thinks in a way fundamentally different from anyone I've ever met in a really brilliant, beautiful way was...
...it was Week 0, and we were getting ready to go to classes.
And Adam's in his room; I'm in my room.
And I was like, "Adam, we got to go this 'cause it's mandatory."
And Adam's like, "I'm skipping all mandatory things."
And I was like, "Why?"
And he was like,
"If they were so good, they wouldn't have to make it mandatory."
And I was like, "it's a goddamn genius!"
This kid's a goddamn genius--I called my Mom right there.
So then I got lotteried off campus
And so then I had to go to Palo Alto to live, and Adam stayed back on campus.
I leave that guy alone for ONE semester!
Come back, it's a whole new world at this school.
As Ray Hernandez says, which I like,
"Everyone knows where you were, when you got that email."
Am I right?
Was that not fun?
Am I right?
I'll tell you where I was.
I was -- uh -- I was in Highland Hall, leaving the bathroom again, and I see this email.
I, I mean, I think it went something like this:
--it was an email from Dean Levin--
"Hi!"
"This is Dean Levin."
"I would like to begin this email..."
"...by saying there's nothing to see here."
"My aids and assistants have informed me..."
"...that there was a breach in the financial aid servers..."
"...that had a 1-in-1,000,000 chance of being found."
"Unfortunately, the Class of 2018 had a 1-in-1,000,000 student."
"And that made the odds 100%."
"This student proceeded to download approximately 17,000 terabytes of data..."
"...compiled in a 6,000 page report..."
"...not counting exhibits."
"Dropped it on my desk..."
"...said, 'What now, bitch?'"
"...and proceeded to do the moonwalk."
"But there is nothing to see here."
"We're going to form a committee."
"Your friend, Dean Levin"
You remember that email?
It was a lot of fun.
And then there was the Thanksgiving email.
That was the talk of the town in the Hayward household.
'Cause, finally, Adam replies:
"It is I, Adam Allcock!"
As if there's anyone else the fuck it could have been.
And homie let me say this:
Let me say this:
I don't care whether you are for it or against it:
We can all agree on this:
You don't FUCK with Adam Allcock.
There is NO bluff. I've been saying that.
And my personal opinion is that it takes a lot of--a lot of courage to take a stand.
And I'ma say...that was some cool shit. So, give it up.
Fantastic!

Earning Trust In Business | SKYROCKET Your Reputation! - Duration: 6:44.
- Earning trust.
I'd like to talk to you about how you can earn trust
to not only be more trustworthy
but also to advance your career and really apply
this to every area of your profession and your career.
My name's Ralph Kison.
What I'm gonna share with you from the perspective
of a coach and someone who has taught
and helped people become more successful
for the last 25 years plus, are things that I not only see,
I observe around me when they're done well
and when they're done poorly,
but where I've really worked with people
to help them develop these skills themselves.
So I'm gonna frame in two, in three different ways,
one negative, neutral and positive.
And I'm gonna start off with how we communicate,
give you examples of all three
and then just some behaviors that we can do
that simple things that can make us more trustworthy,
approachable and make people actually wanna follow us
and engage with us.
So responses, so just communicating.
Someone comes to your desk, they, they say,
hey George, I have a question for ya.
And so they ask you the question,
do you wanna join us for lunch today?
Keep it simple.
And you go, uh, no.
The person doesn't look at George, they,
it's, it's kinda of a grunty kind of response,
not even really connective and engaging.
And the person goes, oh, okay, well,
won't ask you again.
The next one is, do you wanna join us for lunch,
a little bit more of a positive.
Uh, no thanks, I'm busy.
So, you know, slight eye contact but really
almost like a response of annoyance,
leave me alone, go away.
And the third one is, oh, thank you George.
We have eye contact, thanks for the invite,
I've got a deadline or I'm working on something
that I really can't get away today
but I appreciate the invite.
Maybe we can do this another time, okay, and a smile.
Now this is so subtle guys, but what we need to be aware of
is the subtle things, the sweating the details
is actually what sets us apart.
So from a negative, sort of impersonal grunt,
no eye contact, to a moderate, yeah, thanks but no thanks,
to a, hey, I'm connecting, I'm relating.
Very quickly within seconds, think about this,
within seconds you have just made an impression,
positive, neutral or negative, on the person
that is inviting you to lunch.
But just remember this person isn't just inviting,
inviting you to lunch, you're gonna work with them
on a project.
Maybe they're part of your team, maybe they're a colleague,
maybe they're your boss.
Maybe it's somebody who wants to get to know you a bit
and see who you are.
So the old adage, first impressions count,
really applies here.
Now let me give you an example of some actual behaviors
that fall into the same categories.
And I gotta tell you for a second
this is just one of my pet peeves, so,
bear with me.
What really bugs me, as it relates to the way
people connect and show respect and courtesy
to one another, this is an example.
This could be at work, this could be in the mall,
it can be at the airport, as you're going through a door,
someone's ahead of you and they open the door
and they walk through it not even looking back
and it just swings shut and you're maybe five steps
behind them so if they'd wait for a second
they could hold it open for you.
But no consideration, no regard, they're through,
and you go, hmm, thanks for holding the door buddy,
alright, so that's the negative.
The neutral is the person sees ya coming,
they hold the door but they don't look at ya
and then they just walk away,
and you say thank you and they go, yeah, sure.
The positive, and again, this is about your reputation,
what makes you approachable and trustworthy,
you look at them, you hold it, you smile,
they know that you're waiting for them,
that they're waiting for you, pardon me,
and then you say thank you, and they say,
oh, you're welcome, my pleasure.
You will remember that person.
You may not know his or her name
but you will remember them so the next time
you meet them you'll go, oh there's that guy
that held the door for me.
He's a nice guy, he's friendly, he smiles.
You don't know them, I get that,
but it's how you start building connections.
So let's go to tip number two.
What I'd like to talk about is
how you communicate via email
but this also applies to texts and to voicemails.
But I'll use, for purpose of the illustration, email.
You get an email from a colleague, they're asking you
what time the meeting is but rather than just asking
they say, hey, how ya doing Ralph?
Did you have a great weekend, you know,
looking forward to seeing you at the meeting,
the meeting this morning, and by the way,
is the meeting at 10:00 or 10:30?
So you could email them back and say, 10:30, that's it.
And the person that gets the response might go,
well that's pretty abrupt.
Well he probably had a lousy weekend.
Or you could say, hey Bob, yeah thanks,
I had a great weekend.
Hope you did too.
Meetings at 10:30, see ya there, Ralph.
Same information but the tone in the communication,
so we're talking sender and receiver.
The poor person who's trying to build a better rapport
and ask how you're doing and probably
generally really cares is almost like,
(hands smacking) Bamm,
you just smack 'em in the head and go,
here, you know, dummy, it's almost my,
it's probably how they feel because it's like,
oh I'm sorry that I didn't pay attention
or I forgot or maybe I missed it.
Remember when you ask for help and reach out to somebody,
if you come asking in a very sincere general way
you want them to meet you in kind.
So here's a great opportunity for building trust
is meet people where they're at.
So emails are a great way to connect in the same tone
and if it's more direct to the point
don't give them a flowery email,
how was your weekend, what else,
answer in similar fashion.
So think of matching and mirroring as the second tip
to earn trust.
So third one.
In this, I've coached a lot of people
that have joined organizations to help them
to fast-track their brand to get known
to get trusted and to become engaged and accepted.
So you're new to a firm or you're new
to one of your divisions.
Maybe you've moved to another office with your firm
so this is just a transfer within the company,
it could be to another country, whatever, you know.
You're climbing the ladder corporately
and you're moving to other departments.
Here's a great way to get engaged
and to earn trust quickly.
Be proactive to build relationships.
What I mean by that is, rather than waiting
for someone to invite you, rather than waiting
for an event, it could be a conference
it could even be a Friday social or it's a potluck
or you know the monthly pizza and pop kinda of lunch
in the office, if you have one
or whatever the equivalent is for your firm.
Ask if you can help.
Say, hey, listen, you know I've just started,
I don't know that many people
but can I give you a hand to set the table
or organize or invite or whatever.
Guess what the answers gonna be, sure,
'cause typically these people they're doing it
by themselves or there's a couple
that are always doing it.
So not only a volunteer, and someone new to the team,
a great way to connect with them,
but it's a great way for people to acknowledge you.
Because when they see that you're willing to contribute,
you're willing to engage, they'll trust ya
because they're gonna think, gee if that's her attitude
just to help organize a lunch, or a social, or an event
within the company, she'd probably be great
to have on a project team, or,
well that attitude, that'll go a long way in the company
because here's somebody who's new and is showing
that they're real keen to not only work with us
and get to know us, but build trust.
Okay, so there's three techniques.
Again, hopefully one, or all of these,
give you another perspective
or something that you maybe have not tried.
Try them, if you like what you're hearing
and you think it'd be valuable with others,
please share and give us your feedback
'cause we always love hearing from ya.

Sympathy VS Empathy Explained For Workplace Relationships - Duration: 4:08.
- I'd like to talk to you about
sympathy versus empathy in the workplace
and I'm gonna give you some examples
you can see firsthand where one is very effective
and the other, not so much,
and you can see where you can apply these.
Okay, so let's start with sympathy.
This is an actual example of a person that I coached
and he was doing performance reviews
with one of his employees,
and by the way, this is how not to do it, okay?
So, he sat down with this person
and was doing a performance review
and they were requesting something in terms of advancements
and feedback on their career and,
let's just say he didn't handle it that well,
because he shared this with me afterwards
and we said, you know, how can you improve this?
Improve from this.
But what he did when this person voiced their concern
and frustration, he just said oh, that's not so bad, right?
And, this woman literally started to cry.
So, he was thought he was showing understanding,
he was being sympathetic,
but in a way that actually
just kind of threw some more fuel on the fire,
made her feel worse.
That's not where sympathy was required,
that's where, lemme jump to empathy now.
If he would have said,
I can appreciate why you may feel that way,
I can see based on your reaction
that this is something that is very difficult
and challenging for you and I accept that
and I want to acknowledge that.
I also want to discuss with you some things
we can look at for you to do
between this performance review and the next one,
or when we loop back in to see how you're doing.
Some practical steps you can take
in where I might be able to support you,
'cause I think there's some things
you can do that will improve your performance,
that will help you understand what we expect,
the output you require, et cetera.
That's constructive and that is still acknowledging
the person's feelings, concerns, and frustrations,
but not actually getting down there
with them and making it worse.
Anecdotally, I have heard sympathy and empathy
been described this way in the past.
Sympathy is when you encounter someone
who is dying or gravely ill and the way that'll go
is you lie down with them, right?
And grovel with them or worse yet.
Empathy is, you are there for the person
and you feel for their position
and you understand that you joining them at that level
is not gonna help them, you need to be strong,
so what you do is you think about
how can I raise them, how can I help?
So, sympathy's often, well,
here's an example where it's appropriate.
If somebody that you know has a death in the family
or a loss, get them a sympathy card,
that's exactly what they need
and don't try to be clever,
just show sympathy and concern and care.
But empathy, particularly given the context
that this video is in and what most of my videos are,
it's around helping you become better as a leader,
as an employee, or just a person and as a professional,
is a skill that needs to be developed.
Empathetic leaders, empathetic colleagues,
empathetic husbands and wives and kids
are what we need more of.
Where we listen, understand, connect,
and then recommend and suggest a path forward.
Empathy can be powerful because there's human connection,
there's understanding.
When I see you are empathetic towards me,
I'm gonna trust you.
'Cause we wanna earn trust,
but we don't just say trust me.
That means nothing, I want you to,
I wanna trust you based on your actions
and your behaviors, what you do and what you say.
So, think about what I've suggested today
and this is like, over 25 years I've been doing this,
coaching people and applying this myself.
So, everything that I'm sharing, I've actually refined
through my own experience and I know it works.
So, perhaps a little self awareness, a little mindfulness,
maybe the next time you go into a meeting
or you have a situation that's personal,
if you're gonna be doing performance reviews,
or you're getting a,
providing a debrief or feedback to somebody
that you've worked with on a team
where things weren't quite up to par.
Think about how you're going to approach it,
how you're going to set it up,
and then, here's a really important point.
If they respond to you and if it's emotional difficult,
difficult for them, demonstrate empathy, not sympathy.
Empathy will help lift them up, it'll help build them up
and it will reflect positively on you,
and this could be a great opportunity
for you to build a relationship that goes deeper,
grows stronger, and for you to become someone
that they trust, respect, and follow.
