I've been attending Lushin & Associates Sales Training for about a year now, ever since we moved into our new office in the same building.  Every quarter we spend one of the weekly classless on goal setting.  I spend so much of my time evaluating others, that this is a much needed exercise for me!  When interviewing it can be easy to judge people harshly and feel superior.  These monthly goal setting sessions quickly knock me off my high horse and help remind me that I am by no means perfect and need to expect similar from both my clients and candidates.

Lisa Boester recently commented on an article that Ron wrote for our monthly newsletter.  It too, was a good reminder that when there is fault with an employee or a candidate it is often not their fault, but our own that is showing through.

Are there some areas of your business you are annoyed with?  Are there things you could to improve the situation, rather than blame others! 

I'm going to vow to start this next quarter by taking responsibility!  No excuses, one of my mantras from last quarter will continue to be on my bulletin board.  There is no reason that the economy, the election results, or other people should get in my way.
