Welcome to the Daily Rundown! These are the week’s top inspirational posts from LinkedIn members. 1️⃣ It’s OK to seek help We often perceive asking for help as a sign of weakness.

However, over time he realised that seeking help from others and collaborating with them was an important part of growth. “Asking for help is one of the smartest things you can do,” Shetty adds. https://lnkd.in/exyRjUms 2️⃣ Ask the uncomfortable questions In our quest to chase the next milestone, we often overlook the significance of pausing. LinkedIn member Shalini Singh also faced a similar situation and decided to take a step back to ask herself the big, uncomfortable questions.

Welcome to the Daily Rundown! Here’s some career advice for the weekend — Don’t shy away from setting boundaries, Crafting year-end resolutions, and more. 1️⃣ Communicating like a pro What are a few simple ways to brush up one’s communication skills? LinkedIn member Yash Anchalia recommends reading, travelling, taking on public-speaking opportunities, and attending events. Also, don’t hesitate to reach out to your network, he says. Connecting with people can amp up your confidence levels, Anchalia adds. https://lnkd.in/gjkzQgkN 2️⃣ Why healthy boundaries are essential Professionals often hold the misconception that setting healthy boundaries will alienate them from their team or spark unnecessary conflict, mental health professional Reetika Shah says. In fact, it’s the opposite. “It’s an act of self-care that allows us to show up for others without losing ourselves,” she says. https://lnkd.in/g_eRCsFa 3️⃣ Bonding beyond your team Spending quality time and getting to know co-workers in cross-functional teams can be valuable and fun at the same time, says innovations manager Sakshi Deepchandani. One impromptu lunch helped her realise that they were “all part of one big team,“ and such connections shouldn’t be limited to the extent of related projects. https://lnkd.in/g8WmMZYc 4️⃣ Acing conflict management Every professional navigates conflict resolution in their own distinct way. And understanding this approach is a crucial competency in the workplace, says Bipul Banerjee, Redbricks Education Foundation’s Director of Administration. Think of the friction as an opportunity to build on skills that help prevent it, he says. https://lnkd.in/gK_KDERy 5️⃣ Ending on a high note Don’t wait until the start of the year to make changes, Prime Ventures’s Managing Partner Amit Somani says. He recommends setting year-end resolutions. This not only offers an early headstart, but also makes for an opportune moment to pause and reflect, he adds. https://lnkd.in/gfKThAUX 💡 Are New Year’s resolutions effective?

Delhi-NCR’s luxury residential market is on the rise, with more properties worth hundreds of crores being purchased, news reports suggest. Recently, several properties worth ₹100 crore were sold in areas such as Kautilya Marg, Sunder Nagar, and parts of Gurgaon.

Recruiters expect a cover letter. That's according to Zety's Future of Work Report, which talked to 753 recruiters and hiring professionals. Of them, 89% said the document should come with other application materials. Not everyone wants a cover letter. And some recruiters thought that number to be high.
