New Approaches to Reinvigorate the Workplace, Customers, and Yourself
Is stress costing your business too much? Do you find yourself overworked and “under-played?”
What if you could truly see your personal and professional life in new ways? What would it take for you to decide today that you’ll never view work and play the same way again?
In Seven Days to Working Well (TM pending), you’ll get front row access to those insider strategies that can help you figure out who the “real you” is at work, revitalize customer service and sales, manage stress, and ultimately, let you protect your joy.
Rather than a quick-fix solutions (that probably won’t work), you’ll be able to examine your work, play, and leadership styles over a period of time. The Seven Days are meant to occur consecutively, but they don’t have to happen in a week. Real change takes time.
Seven Days to Working Well offers new solutions to old challenges. If you want to be part of a hot new trend in management, national award-winning speaker and internationally experienced trainer Michelle Courtney Berry, MPS, can show you how seven days can change your life.
Her seven principles:
§ SLOW DOWN, TAKE STOCK. How do you view work and play? Are you getting too much of one, not enough of another? What's working well? What do you need to find balance?
§ EVALUATE WHAT WORK AND PLAY MEAN TO YOU PERSONALLY.
Are you getting too much of one, not enough of the other? If you don’t have the balance you’d like, what do you need to have happen so you can enjoy the balance you crave?
§ DISCOVER WHO YOU LIKE TO WORK WITH AND WHY.
Do you truly enjoy working in teams or are you just faking it? Although teamwork is essential, until you understand how you feel about yourself and others, teams are not as effective. Find out how to letting the “real you” show up enhances your leadership and relationships.
§ MANAGE STRESS AND CHANGE THROUGH CLEAR COMMUNICATION. You can practice being clear about your personal and professional boundaries. Try to tackle at least one area that’s been troubling you for a long time. Consider asking for help. ‘Once you manage stress effectively, all things are possible,’ says Berry
§ VISUALIZE YOUR IDEAL WORK AND PLAY ENVIRONMENTS. If you could change just one key aspect in each, what would that one thing be? What help would you need
§ BE GOOD TO YOURSELF AND YOUR CUSTOMERS. Both deserve the most positive energy you can summon. If you love what you do it shows—in sales, morale, and productivity.
§ PROTECT YOUR JOY. This principle, like all the others, takes practice. Try it. No one has the right to steal your joy, not even you.
