What Is Holding You Back?

Feedback comes in many forms.  Learn to recognize it, ask for it, and use it to improve and stay motivated and focused.  Think carefully before you act when you feel you have been criticized.  Was the feedback accurate?  How can you use it constructively?

Do you want to learn and grow?  What do you want to achieve?  Share your goals with others and ask them for their help.

Giving feedback can be even more difficult than receiving it.  Do you put off conversations about a team member's performance?  Do you avoid giving feedback to a coworker or a friend because it may lead to conflict or hurt feelings?  Figure out what is holding you back.

When giving feedback, put the other person first. Think about his or her goals. How can you help make those goals a reality?  Be sensitive.  Be sincere.  Be respectful.  Put yourself in the other's shoes.  Take time to think about what you will say and how you will say it.  State the facts and don't judge.

Until next time...

Passion Ignites Creativity

Has there ever been a time when you realized that your comfortable job had become boring?  If so, what did you do about it?  

There are endless possibilities of things that you can do to challenge yourself.  We'd love to hear what YOU did, so please share with us by posting a comment here!

There's one thing we can say about change:  It's never boring!  On the contrary, once we go through the process of change, we can generate excitement, energy, and a renewed passion for what we do.

Passion is the spark that ignites creativity!  You reach new heights when you challenge yourself to grow, take risks, meet new people, and learn new things that push you to reach your full potential.

What does the challenge of change mean to you?

Until next time...
