Welcome Mr. Criticism

Thank God it’s Monday!™ Our good old friend Mr. Criticism. Who hasn’t run into him before?

Sure, we take it from our kids as they give us a hard time around the dinner table. But how do we handle criticism in the workplace?

For starters, you can’t let it bother you. Some critics are critical simply because they’re jealous. Some are bitter. And some are having an awful day. But every so often you’ll find a genuine critic in the best sense of the word—and it is to these critics that you must open your ears.

What an opportunity! Find some truth in what they have to say, and you can grow. Now sometimes it’s complete rubbish. But there is usually at least 1 percent of what they have to say that could be helpful if you took it in.

You’ll know what criticism is worth listening to. Just stay strong and evaluate their words honestly, and apply changes.

Have a great Monday!

Be You

Thank God it’s Monday!™ It’s far too easy to lose sight of who you truly are when you’re at the office.

“I’m not on track to reach quota, so I can’t waste my time engaging with other employees.”

“I can’t take it. Jared’s success is making me look bad.”

“Should I jump in and make that joke? What if they don’t laugh?”

This discontent, this frustration—it’s all driven by a lack of comfort.

By this point in your life, you have a pretty good sense of who you are. And by this point in your life, you’ve come to the conclusion that when you stray from the path that defines you, you quickly grow frustrated.

So choose comfort. Don’t hesitate to be yourself.

Everyone’s laughing at the lunch table, and a joke pops into your head… make it! You feel that the company is underachieving, setting the standard of excellence beneath its capability… raise the standard!

BE YOU, and create a great Monday!
