FOCUS
Richard Morin • December 28, 2017
Would it help, if YOU ... learned to focus on one thought or action at a time?
YOUR life is all about your ability to work with yourself. Your success, health, finances, love life ... are all reliant on you. Does this sound like a DUH statement? Perhaps so, but ... why are you in such a state when the ability to focus would clear up so many of your issues and propel you to new and different outcomes? Discipline is a word most people understand but sadly do not apply in what is their lives. It takes discipline to hone your focus and then maintain it until you have completed whatever task or undertaking you have chosen to commence. For your sake, learn to focus and then bask in your new found ability as it will do more for you than you can currently imagine. The time is always NOW, so when should you start?
How will you write your book? Character driven or by an elaborate plot you came up with?
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.
