Beige Book Sunday, July 2024 Eight times a year the Federal Reserve Board publishes the Beige Book, the clearest snap shot of the US economy on earth. Here's a couple highlights that stood out to us: 💰 Overall Economic Activity Economic activity maintained a slight to modest pace of growth in a majority of Districts. Expectations for the future of the economy were for slower growth over the next six months due to uncertainty around the upcoming election, domestic policy, geopolitical conflict, and inflation. 👷♂️ Labor Markets Employment rose at a slight pace in the most recent reporting period. Skilled-worker availability remained a challenge across all Districts... additionally, labor turnover was lower. 💲 Prices Prices increased at a modest pace overall, with a couple Districts noting only slight increases. #economy #jobs #andsowegrow #illyrian Corbin Beastrom

Meanwhile in sales...

You’ve started a new job and feel great about the role. You’re ready to jump in and deliver. But over time, you realize that there might be something wrong. You and your manager aren’t seeing eye-to-eye on topics that are key to the department’s success. Rather than addressing the issue directly, you discover that your boss has been expressing general displeasure and disappointment with your performance to others in the office. You think: “Am I the problem or are all managers like this?”

This bedtime story is starting to read a like a nightmare 👻

Professionals who are extroverts are better equipped than introverts to form social connections, right? After all, they’re outgoing and more comfortable talking with strangers. Wrong. Contrary to popular opinion, anybody can master the art of connecting with others. It’s more of a skill than an innate talent. Even the most introverted of introverts, naturally shy about approaching people, can learn to network successfully.
