3 Big Ideas, Tips or Strategies for this week

1. Three Options

You always have three options: you can change it, you can accept it, or you can leave it. What is not a good option is to sit around wishing you would change it but not changing it, wishing you could leave it but not leaving it and not accepting it.

2. Other Meditations

Meditation is turning off society and listening to yourself. It only works when done for its own sake. Hiking is walking meditation. Journaling is writing meditation. Praying is gratitude meditation. Sitting quietly is direct meditation.

3. Mastering Welcome

Master your welcome: the way you greet others, the way you answer your phone. Check your email auto-response, too, because it frequently acts as your greeter. Does it sound welcoming, too?

2 Stories, Quotes, or Case-Studies for this week

1. Read Aloud

Read everything you write aloud. Your ear will pick up the mistakes that your eyes missed. Your ear will read the document the way your recipient hears it, too. If you proofread only with your eyes, your eyes will deceive you because they know what you said. They will tend to see what you think you write, rather than the actual words on the paper.

When you read aloud, you hear the mistakes. Your ears, being musical, also hear awkward rhythms. Smooth those out and your copy will flow for the reader. The reader will read more easily, enjoy the ride, and appreciate the person who provided it.

2. Thanks

Three in four executives consider applicants’ think-you notes in making hiring decisions. Apparently, most people do not realise this. Only one in three applicants thinks to send a thank-you note. This suggests again the wisdom of simply showing up. It appears that two in three people do not.

Say thank you. You won’t be alone, but you still will stand out.

1 Critical Question to Ask Yourself

Master your welcome and goodbye routines.

“What are the different ways you can greet others and ways you can bid a memorable goodbye?”
