2022 – Wow what a year!
As an employee, there is no good time to be out of a job.
Also, as a business owner, there is no good time to eliminate jobs.
However, recently, we have definitely seen some inappropriate extremely wrong and uncaring ways to handle the downsizing of employees.
As an employee, what can you do?
PREPARE
You should definitely expect for opportunities to come your way and enthusiastically prepare for them.
However, you should also prepare for unexpected tough times and bumps in the road.
Preparing means taking stock of what you can control: that means your attitude, your behaviors and your budget.
It concerns me that some of the same people who say they cannot afford self- development opportunities, spend many $$$ on holiday shopping and plan and take part in “Black Friday Sales”.
COMMUNICATE
Rekindle and create connections. You should not wait until you need something from someone to meet them. Rekindle connections with those that you know and connect with those that you want to know without asking for anything.
A simple “thinking of you” or “happy holidays” is a good start.
REFLECT
Think about and document your successes and all you have accomplished.
A quote I live by is:
With this in mind, I encourage you to take some positive action over this holiday season and the year going forward.
“HOPE IS NOT A STRATEGY, AND SOMEDAY IS NOT A TIMEFRAME.”
Please let me know if you can use my support in the New Year to help you Move Forward with Purpose.
