Adapting to Change
Accept Change.
Adapting to change can be challenging.
Change is as continual as life. Things change, whether we welcome it or not. When you think about it, our own lives go through the same changes as organizations; we experience restructuring, downsizing, and “upsizing” just like companies do. Our own little “organizations” grow when we have kids and get smaller when they move out. Perhaps a separation or divorce causes us to go through a restructuring.
Consider how Covid-19, and the its “variants” have turned our lives upside down. We are worried about getting sick. We are worried about the health of our families and are nervous about the possibility of bringing the virus home even with masks, hand-sanitizer and and social distancing. No one was prepared for this pandemic. We have all had to adapt in a multitude of ways. We have had no choice.
What Can We Do?
When it comes to the pandemic, there’s nothing we can do except do our best to stay well. But for other business or life-changing situations consider this: Change blows through our lives, sometimes like a breeze, sometimes like wind and sometimes like a storm. You can bow your head to try to buck it, hoping it will blow over. You’re not certain the change in your company or your personal life is for the better. You may even experience stress and personal resistance. The point is you can rarely do anything about the change, so it will best serve you to accept it and move on, and if it’s a change in your company, perhaps even promote it. You might consider focusing on positive opportunities change can bring and look upon adapting to it as a challenge. Encourage others to pull together for a positive result. In doing so, you will have some control over it. Change will never end until you experience that final life-ending change, and even then, life will go on without us. This is a harsh reality we all must face. [Read more…]

Make a Decision to be Successful
No matter what challenges you may be facing in your business or personal life, if you want to overcome them, achieve success and experience accomplishment you’ll need a positive attitude. (Gee, tell me something I didn’t know!) You’ll need that if you want to get the results you want. If you don’t have it, you are sabotaging any effort you may make. Second, you’ll need a sense of vision—seeing how much more successful you can be in your present job or in even in a completely different career. Or, if you are an executive or manager, you’ll need to have that vision first, then see how much more successful you can make your own company, and what you can dare to accomplish. Third, you need to make a decision to succeed and be a winner.

How to Deal With Negative People — The Princes and Princesses of Pessimism
All of us have come across negative people. For them, negativity is the driving force in their lives. When they go home at night, they complain about their customers, their jobs, their bosses, and the traffic. Then they park themselves in front of the TV and tune out the rest of the world. When it comes to making plans for their future they simply don’t because they are stuck wherever they are, which is usually in their own minds. They consider themselves “victims” of whomever or whatever. Sadly, they do not realize that thinking of themselves as victims of their world keeps them feeling oppressed and holds them back from professional accomplishment and personal happiness. [Read more…]
