You can make a difference!
Had a great conversation with a friend of mine last night. His current job was very challenging and even discouraging. Very difficult to even go to work everyday. He made an observation that he felt like he was at his current company for a reason. He felt like there was more he could do, more he could contribute and even more he could influence. His question was could you help me find a way to grow and be more prepared to make a bigger impact?
Wow! Do you realize the impact of being aware of your situation and then having the desire to improve your situation if you can? This is huge. I can tell you that He is going to make a huge impact and create new opportunities for himself and his company because of his desire to grow, learn and improve himself!
There is a book called “The Corporate Athlete” that challenges the business world to adopt the process that athletes use and apply those actions to our corporate journey. Great athletes work on their skill, eat right, exercise, study technique to improve, get plenty of rest. An athletes careers may last 8 to 10 years. Our working journey may last 30, 40 even 50 years. Let’s decide to to be the best “ME” I can be. Maybe eat a little better, maybe add a little exersise, read some books, go to a conference. Make the biggest impact you can in the place you find yourself working everyday.
That should be the cry of our heart. Each and everyone of us. Life is short and you only have a few weeks, a few months, a few years to pour into those around you and to maximize your journey. We all can make a difference! Ben, you rock! Really looking forward to watching your new journey!
You can make a difference!
