Success is an Option

We get a lot of options in life.  You can call the choices or decisions.  However you choose to frame them....they are all up to us.  Each of us, individually.

Even when we make a decision as a team, we take time to evaluate each individual choice or idea through the process.  As a member of a team, we offer our solution, idea or choice in the vote from an individual perspective and then the results are developed from there.

Think about the choices you make each day.  Do you decide to have a good day or a bad day?  Do you decide to take care of business or to not take care of business?  Do you decide to stick to your gym routine or sabotage yourself (sorry, that's a tough one....sabotage can be as easy as sleeping in or eating that bag of Doritos!) 

What I am trying to get at is that no matter what we take on, we usually want to be successful at it.  But success, on it's own, is an option or a choice or a decision.

We can choose to skip the Doritos and go to the gym, making our fitness plan a success.  We can choose to have a good day or a bad day.  We can the option to work on our business or not.  Fact is, it is completely up to us.  Whether it's attitude or action - no one can really make us be successful, it is the option that we need to choose for ourselves.

Return on Investment

Time is an investment and so is money.  What if you could get a 10 X return on your investment?  How about more?
Fast Company Magazine says that any $1 investment in coaching gets businesses $11 back.  Would you like that?
It is as simple as attending Leadercast and sharing your knowledge and learning.  This is the perfect opportunity to meet new people, learn about yourself as a leader, make plans to develop your organization...all in one day...all in one spot.

Grow your investment in yourself.  Develop your investment in others.

Recognizing Leadership

What do you do in your organization to recognize your team?
Monetary recognition is only one way to let people know they are doing well or going above and beyond.  Here are a few other ways:

• give an afternoon off with pay
• take out to lunch
• provide opportunity to mentor a new hire
• lead a new project
• promotion
• cross-functional training or learning opportunities
• create a development plan
• provide external development opportunities

....there are at least a thousand more ways because what you will find is that recognition can be as unique as what drives each unique individual you work with each day. 



Take a moment and share some ways you recognize developing leaders in your organization.
