Daily Deliberation: 2 September 2020
Yes! This is very timely for me. I was just scrolling through some posts on my news feed and was getting angry at some of the things people were posting. Why? Many of them weren’t posting them to be hurtful to me specifically. Even if they were, who cares? We have to stop giving people…

I have learned we can be the smartest person in the room and have all of the right answers and still not make a difference. Until people realize we have their best interests in mind, they will never listen to what we are saying. If you want to make a difference, stop worrying about proving…

Daily Deliberation: 30 August 2020
Way too often we look at our situations at work or in life and expect everything to change to suit our needs. I have even “stood my ground” on certain situations where I thought my workcenter should alter their policies to fit my needs. “I do all of this stuff, it is the least you…

We have all had some sort of victory in our lives or careers. Many of us will let this success go to our head’s. This is normal. It is not a good thing, but it is normal. We work hard to achieve or to accomplish something and then it happens. We did it…we are number…

Communication is Vital While Woking Remote
It is very tough to operate in this current climate. Many of us are working from home and those who are going in are isolated from the masses. Our face-to-face contact is limited and many are feeling the effects from it. However, there are ways we can still succeed in this current environment, it just…

Daily Deliberation: 23 August 2020
Lately, I have been very interested in the topic of failing. Most of us look at a failure as a bad thing. We become paralyzed with fear and afraid to try something new. “What if it fails?” My boss will think I am not talented or my peers will resent me. How many times did…

Daily Deliberation: 22 August 2020
I was once told others don’t remember what you say; rather, they remember how you made them feel. We have seen this in action and probably are guilty of it ourselves. I know I am. Think about someone you respect. They just forfeited on a promise they made to you. Maybe they missed a meeting…
