Keeping Perspective


When I try to help the coaching clients, one thing I must continue to remind them and myself as well is to keep perspective.

As tough as we have it, most everybody else has it tougher than we do.  This week I have noticed a few perspectives to keep in mind:
1. Be especially thoughtful and kind to your administrative assistant.  They have to do much of your tough work    without having your power.
2. Deeply, deeply appreciate your humility and bristle at any sign of arrogance.
3. You have a big voice. Give others the chance to have their voice as well.
4. Don't forget that you don't only work purely for financial gain nor does your company.  Does your company strive to make a difference in this troubled world?
5. This is not about you.
6. Tomorrow you may no longer be sitting on top of the world. Enjoy the view while you have it and be careful not to fall off.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Jeff Zaslow’s latest book, GABBY: A Story of Courage and Hope,  (the memoir of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and her husband, astronaut Mark Kelly) will be released this  Tuesday, November 15.
