MY MANTRAS.
-
COMMUNICATION IS KEY
Without communication, where would we be? This has especially become more important than ever recently with many individuals transitioning to working from home. Communication is at the root of all things, and can make or break situations. Your effort towards effectively communicating in all channels can either put you ahead or put you behind.
-
ALWAYS FIND A SOLUTION
I believe that 99.9% of the time, you can find a solution for your problem, question, or challenge. Trying to figure out how to do something at work? Use your resources to find an answer: Google, your colleagues, Youtube, LinkedIn, the list never ends. If you try hard enough, you can usually find a solution somehow, someway.
-
CHANGE IS NECESSARY
Although it is hard, evolution and change must happen in a working environment. In one of my previous jobs, I often heard people say “Look at what we did last year and match that”. I always wondered - why? Yes, let’s look at last year, but how can we do it better this year? Consistently doing the same thing year over year will get you the same or similar results.
-
TEAMWORK
In all aspects of life, work, family, your social life, etc. - you are a part of a team. Being aware of those around you and how your actions affect them will greatly put you ahead. Being an athlete my entire life, I have always had this team mentality. Without team members working together and having each other’s backs, how do you succeed?
