It is Not About You…It is about how you can help!

Whether preparing a resume, sitting for an interview/performance review, addressing your team or presenting the Board of Directors… it’s not about you!! 

At some point in our lives, MOST of us realized that the world did not revolve around us… and what WE wanted.  When the shock of this realization wore off most learned to accept this truth and still reach for our goals, albeit hampered by this restricting reality.  However, some see the beauty of this arrangement as the ultimate “We all can win” approach to life including work, relationships and personal achievements. 

Simply being good – or great – at your role is not enough.  In fact it often hinders one’s growth because they approach life with a ‘Look what I can do’ and/or ‘I want… I deserve… I’m entitled to…’ attitude. 

Regardless of your present AND future positions you will interact with people who will not be aware of – or care about what you do… or what you want.  They’ll be zeroed in on their own wants, needs and dreams.  While for some this can become a conflict – someone wins and the other loses – successful people seek solutions simply by shifting their focus. 

This session's objective is to provide the innovative with specific tools to be used across life’s spectrum: from preparing resumes, conducting performance reviews, dealing with suppliers/customers, addressing top management, and asking for a raise/promotion to courting, marriage and rearing children. 

As we shift our focus from a ‘What’s In It - For Me’ mentality to a ‘How Can I Help You’ perspective we begin to see the larger picture and a multitude of options… opportunities ‘mystically’ appear.  Now we can add value… now we become valuable.

 

“Success is not getting there… it’s earning the right to be there.”
