We often upgrade equipment and tools quicker than we “update” ourselves.
When is the last time you changed your mind?
How long since you established a new meaningful relationship?

Make today a day for a clean start because it is no fun being wrung out in a wringer washer or a dead end career.
I Eye
“The journey of discovery begins not with new vistas but with having new eyes with which to behold them.” ~ Proust
Are you able to refresh the I behind your eyes? Many of us are myopic in looking for something new in our careers when the newness may be to look at our career, our self, and our world with new eyes. You can have laser surgery to correct your vision but without a vision of what you are looking for you may fail to see what is right in front of you. I invite you to give your eyes a rest by closing them for 60 seconds after you read this post.When you open your eyes, strive to look at your world in a new way then extend this fresh eyed approach to how your career is unfolding.

Employee Engagement: Think Different #2
The September 24th issue of The Economist had an article against happiness at work.
The article stated that “companies that try to turn happiness into a management tool are overstepping the mark.” The one-page article also concluded that companies do not have the right to “turn happiness into an instrument of corporate control.”
I couldn’t agree more.
I have maintained for years that engagement is an invitation not an imposition. It is not about control but connection. We don’t make someone else engaged. People are not machines and you can’t pull levers or push drivers to engage them.
If you want to engage, invite do not coerce. And by the way, if you invite rather than compel, that will go a long way to making me happier about work and engagement!
