Personal Philosophies

The vast majority of people go to work to make a difference

Learn the lesson and then move on

People are not always able to be at their best due to poor leadership or pressing personal issues

Work with a consultant mindset

Treat people with respect, from the cleaner to the CEO, you never know who may assist you in the future

Bring a positive can do attitude to everything you do

Bringing problems/issues to senior managers should be accompanied with potential solutions

Keep confidential information confidential

Thought leadership is the # 1 thing I can bring to an organisation

Keep the saw sharp

Spending 100% of my time on communication will not be enough, so communication needs to be targeted and succinct, backed up with networking

Where time permits, or outside of working hours, I will provide 5% to 10% of my time on networking in addition to mentoring, coaching, counselling as requested

Every week I need to make at least one significant contribution and preferably two or three

My ‘business card’ is my achievements

 

How do I go about Making a Difference at Work?
