Oh The Humanity

One of the things my choir does is support the Creative Ministries Network by singing at some of their different events.

Saturday we sang at the service for those who have had family members die in the workplace. It is a hard service. Some of the stories that people share are horrific. Not in terms of details of the accident or tragedies that happen, but in terms of how their families are treated by companies, insurers and the legal profession.

As I was sitting there on Saturday listening to this womans story about how she was treated, her pain as real today as it was when the event happened, it occured to me how ill-equipped businesses are to deal with humans. 

Why is it as a business that people will do things that they would never do as an individual? Why do we ignore those around us that need help, support, a listening ear, a friend, a laugh or a simple but genuine "How's things?" Why do we need to create "R U OK" days - why isn't every day an "R U OK" day? I think it is sad that we are so out of touch that we need to tell people to care about others in their life.

What most of us do is NOT a matter of life or death. While I am not minimising the importance of what you do, rather I am asking you to shift your perspective on what you do and who it impacts. No matter what your job holds, never forget your humanity and the impact of those you connect with.

So Dear-Reader how can you show your humanity today?

You Know Better Than That!

A good friend of mine is going for a senior postion at a very large company.

As a manager, they are AWESOME!

• They have stood toe to toe with union officials and negotiated powerful outcomes that turned out to be in the best interest of the company and the union member.
• They have a level of loyalty in their staff that no other manager has ever created in this company before.
• They continually step up into their boss' role for prolonged periods as their boss travels and consults elsewhere
• For seven years in a row their major projects have been nominated for major awards and have won the award on several occasions
• They are half way through an MBA at Australia's most prestigious university (and getting really good marks)
• Their division in the organisation is constantly referred to as the "role model" by the senior executive team
• They have done the hard yards and performance managed the "dead wood" which has lifted the morale of the team

​Having said all of that, my friend still doubts their value and I spent an hour or so coaching them on understanding what they are worth.

Whether you are negotiating salary deals, contracts or any other deal you know better than to discount yourself - yet I see people do it everyday. Women seem to discount their value more often.

DON'T DO IT!! STOP IT!!

This is all about value. Make sure you know what you are worth and hold your value. You are only discounting yourself if you don't. Be confident and proud about the value you bring. We all know charlatans who got paid more purely because they believed.

So Dear-Reader, what is your value or the value of your product or service?

How Is Your Attitude?

Last week I was on radio talking about mentoring and some of the techniques to get better results. One of the questions that came up from a listener was "What are the best attributes to have to effect lasting change in a business?"

There are Four Key elements that you need and you can find out more about them here.

The common theme is element is part of your Attitude and not a specific skillset. Having the right attitude or an attitude that serves you, your customer and your business well can be challenging.
One person who knows all about Attitude is Justin Herald. His business is not only based on Attitude but it is also called Attitude.

To celebrate my new website (now with extra attitude!) I have 5 tickets to give away to see Justin Herald speak at a breakfast in Melbourne this Wednesday 13th November. (Yes, it's true - I am the MC!)
The first five people to email the Event Organiser (Mary Tan mary.t@planaheadevents.com.au) get a complimentary ticket to the breakfast.

Good luck and don't forget to check out the new website and check your own attitude. Is it serving you, your customer and your business? If not, change it.
