You (and I) have never been here before.

Here I am, typing with one hand following surgery, realizing (again) that this day is NEW! to which you might say ... DUH, of course it is. But ... are you treating this day like no other? Or ... just repeating the same habits that brought you to where you are now? Really? Just like the image I chose to illustrate my point, this fighter never knows what comes next, and the more "in the moment" she is, the more chance she will have at winning. So ... back to today, the ever present nownownowNOW, are you here? Now? Reading or letting your mind do what it does?
This fighter knows discipline, hard work, practice, letting go of the past and never ever taking things personally, after all each day, each fight, each moment is different / unique. Do you see it that way? Are you disciplined? All the time?

Use the PXTS hiring assessment to see applicants objectively

Why not add some objective information to help YOU, make a good decision when hiring? Rolling the dice on a hire can cost you a LOT.

Confidence comes from being deliberate, disciplined and as much as possible being in the moment.

If you have not used the objective data from a hiring assessment when recruiting, why not? Are you rolling the dice based on a rather thin resume that says ... whatever, and references from friends of the applicant?

This is all about YOU Working With YOU, and if each person in your organization works on themselves, you will have created a winning culture and team. But ... it starts with you.

Are you and the team you are trying to build, confident? What have you done to make it so? Have you engaged in role playing for the various sales, customer service, HR & interviewing people on your team? Confidence is critical if you and your team / company are to succeed as you might, but it is a transient element as everything changes so often and in ways that leaves some people behind. Role playing is but one of the many tools you can employ to help people step up and become more fluid in how they deliver their message and communications in general. Another great tool is the sharing of books whereby the material becomes fodder for short and to the point meetings where the content is discussed or debated and the team learns from the session. Confidence you ask? Yes it is tough, and not everyone is confident all of the time, but we can all learn to improve and become more competent which leads to confidence. Bringing in a trainer / mentor can clearly help, the investment will more than pay for itself.

People are habitual, and YOU are no different. How will you accomplish those things that you say are important ... to YOU? Reading helps, and although fiction is OK, it will not help you in your quest. Mentors can do a lot for YOU, that is "IF" you listen AND apply those things that you and your mentor agree upon. "IF" you are coachable, who is your coach? Experience has taught me that the future is always different and that what I have done is not as important as what I will do. Therefore ... developing discipline, an ability to ask and then listen in order to learn and understand while remaining the moment, without distractions are what comprises some of the behaviours and traits that can help pave the way for YOU. Contact me ... I can help.

While some are simply "weathering" this storm, others which might include your competition are creating new PLANS, developing and clarifying their PREPARATIONS, either over the phone or on video they are PRACTICING their skills and abilities at presenting, goading each other on leading to a higher level of performance. So ... what about you? What are you doing differently in these unique times? Will the same old / same old get you to where you once were? Really? Life is all about "YOU Working With YOU" which is applied to each of us. Competition abounds and there are those who are salivating at the chance to gain in market share, shelf space and profit.
