Relaxing on the beach this weekend --remember... "It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver." So don't forget to pack the sunscreen along with the kids Geiger counter!
Good Morning Folks,
What can we be thankful for when it comes to the workplace this summer?
- We can be thankful for the Internet and the knowledge of the universe it can provide when it comes to work research.
- We can be thankful for all the technologies like conference calls, Blue Jeans and Skype that allow us to stay off airplanes for business travel. And be thankful for good earphones that block out the crazy guy in the cube next door while we can listen to our favorite music.
- We can be thankful that business casual is now more the norm than the exception.
- If we have a good boss who supports us and mentors us, we should be very thankful. Having a good boss is always the number one factor in job satisfaction.
- If we enjoy our colleagues at work and learn from them and can't wait to be around them, we should be really thankful.
- If we derive a real sense of worth and purpose from our work, and we get paid for it too, that's as good as it gets. Be thankful.
- If we have a job with health care benefits, where free coffee with real cream is provided and the possibility of a promotion exists, be thankful.
- And most of all, be thankful if your organization has an IT person who can fix whatever damage we do on a daily basis.
To be a part of a team and organization where you can learn and grow from your co workers, team members, direct reports and leadership is surely something to be thankful for.
And I'm thankful for those who regardless of tenure, experience or position, have the ability to recognize and encourage opportunities to learn from others at all levels along with customers and the competition.
Not every has that ability or the self confidence to accept and celebrate learning from others.
Remember.... "Life" is a gift to you. The way you live your life is your gift to those who come after. Make it a fantastic one.
This year, we can all be thankful for the love or our family and friends, our health and if we have meaningful work too, what a bonus. So put the smartphones down, this weekend, even if for a minute, and enjoy it.
Thanks to Richard A. Moran (CEO, Corporate Director, Venture Capitalist, Author, Vintner) for inspiring this post and to you for listening.
ENJOY THE WEEKEND!
DO SOMETHING FUN!

HAVE A GREAT One!
