August 14, 2009So Often Your Attitude Determines Your AltitudeSo often your attitude determines your altitude (Author unknown). Nowhere is that more evident than in the workplace. Are you one of those people who hate to go to their “job” every day? They do it because they have to earn a living and it is the responsible thing to do, but they approach each day with dread.

They often think that by putting their seal on a document, it is a declaration that the document or statement is true. This is not the case.

From my own experience, here are two scenarios for you. Which one do you think can create information products faster and easier? Which one can create more information products? Which one is spending their time more efficiently and making more money? At one time in my distant past, I was a legal secretary. I worked for two attorneys in a small, one secretary office in the San Fernando Valley in California. One of the attorneys had to have me in his office so he could dictate his correspondence and legal documents, which I then transcribed from my shorthand. Requiring me to be in his office while he dictated was both painful and time consuming.

Write at a level that is optimum for your reader to undersand. The current standard, and has been for a few years, is to write at the 8th grade level. You may think that’s ridiculous and a reflection of the educaition system in our country today. Really, it has to do with a commodity called “time” that we have in short supply.

I recently took a donation to my local donation center. I was met by a congenial young man who greeted me with a friendly hello and welcoming smile. While helping me remove the bag from my car, he continued his friendly chatter. He showed appreciation that I had brought the items to “his store†rather than “take my business elsewhere.†The encounter was so pleasant that when I left I was smiling and thinking to myself, “What else can I donate?†I’ve also noticed that when I go into my local grocery store I am greeted by the clerks with a smile and a “hello.â€Â Could it be that managers and employees sense that service is what will make the difference in survival in hard economic times? Wouldn’t it be a pleasant consequence of these hard economic times if we all learned to provide better service to each other and became more pleasant and understanding people? Hmmmmm. I’m going to keep that in mind. Perhaps others are reacting to my smile and agreeable presence?

March 10, 2009It’s Been A WhileHave you ever felt as if you had been in hibernation? Perhaps you had an illness or a death in your family. Someone in your family was suffering from a serious illness. You had a big setback at work and it took you a while to recover. Any major happening in your life can cause a setback, a period when you can’t seem to move forward. Sometimes even a happy happening like the birth of a baby can make you feel as if you’ve gone into hibernation.That’s the way I feel right now. I’ve been in hibernation, and now I’m coming out and ready to start developing new ideas again.
