Take Time to Say Thank You
Today, I want to talk about taking time to express your gratitude to others, whether you personally know them or not. This has come to light for me because, in the past 2 weeks, Jasmine and I have received personal handwritten notes, little gifts, cards, letters and emails of gratitude from people whose lives we have touched and didn’t even know it. One note was especially touching as the woman told us about a horrible car accident she was in and the difficult time she went through in therapy learning how to walk, eat and talk again. Can you imagine? She went on to say that it was Monday Motivators and our webinars that started getting her brain in gear. Wow!
It means so much to me when someone takes time to write a note of gratitude. It makes me feel really good to know I have touched someone’s heart and soul. I, too, can think of many people who have influenced my life and they didn’t even know it until I wrote a thank you note. [Read more…]
Take Time To Reflect On Your Year
Before you hurry along into 2016, take the time to reflect on your year.
If you are reading this, I’m proud of you because you are probably one of the few who are working on this Monday. Of course, not everyone is off today. Many employees like to be in the office because it’s pretty quiet and they can get a lot done—mostly organizing their office, cleaning up projects, and getting ready for the New Year.
As 2015 comes to a close, I have much to be grateful for this year.
While I have had some big bumps this year, I have had so many more blessings. In celebration of Office Dynamics’ 25th year anniversary, we hosted free monthly webinars. This is where I had an opportunity to connect with thousands of assistants from around the world. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing people chime in the chat globally and contribute their great ideas. I learned about people’s needs and challenges which will help me as I prepare to host another round of free webinars in 2016. Yes, we are going to continue this wonderful experience for another year so be sure to check out the webinar calendar.
Of course, I am thankful for all our Monday Motivator followers. I know your Inbox is filled. Many of you have experienced the benefits of taking two minutes of your time to read these weekly insights from me. I appreciate all the thank you notes from our fans and I especially love hearing how Monday Motivators has specifically helped in a particular situation. [Read more…]
Accepting Feedback (The positive kind!)
Guest Post by Judi Moreo
How are you accepting feedback? Positive feedback, that is.
It’s amazing how few people know how to handle positive feedback. Actually, it’s as much of an art as handling criticism. And, how you handle it will determine how much more of it you receive.
If someone says thank you to you for something you went out of your way to do for them, for goodness sake, don’t say, “It wasn’t anything,” “It was no big deal,” or ”Oh, anyone could have done it.” It will seem as though the thank you that was given wasn’t really necessary, so next time the person may not feel the need to say thank you. Say instead, “Thank you. I am so glad you noticed.” [Read more…]
How To Do More With Less Effort by Adam Timm
<Guest Post by Adam Timm>
Ever feel like when you get to the end of the day, you’ve worked really hard but don’t have much to show for it?
To prevent these moments, we can choose to work smarter, instead of harder.
The energy of springtime (even for us in the land of eternal summer) is ripe for planting new seeds, starting new projects, and getting in the creative flow. Once the project is rolling, we might notice that we’ve taken on too much, adding to our already full plate. [Read more…]
