Beware - Hater Alert
Sunday, January 20th, 2008Beware of your Haters. We all have them. What is a Hater? A Hater is a person who does not like you and wants to expose your flaws or knock you down a notch or two. Whether we admit it or not, we all have people who dislike us or want to make us feel less worthy. That’s life. Unfortunately, many people tend to react emotionally to Haters. Personally, I’ve learned to deal with them as irritants forcing me to grow into a better person.
Dealing With Arrogant People
Tuesday, January 1st, 2008All of us must deal with arrogant people - those people who look down their noses at others and believe themselves to be better than everyone else. Dealing with arrogant people can become more difficult when that person is in a position of power. I have had my share of dealings with arrogant people and I have learned several valuable lessons.
Appreciation Is Always Appreciated
Tuesday, December 4th, 2007I can’t think of anyone who doesn’t want to be appreciated and this is especially true in the workplace. This week my office had employee appreciation week and the motivation and energy level of the staff soared. The staff’s reaction made be appreciate simple words such as “thank you” and the impact those words can have on another person’s day.
So often, people tend to focus on the negative instead of what can be appreciated in their lives each and every day. In my opinion, appreciation helps us focus on the positives in our lives which can impact our overall disposition. In the workplace, the power of appreciation is needed more than ever.
