Note To Self – N2S:  Free Your Dreams!

We are hard-charging, goal and achievement driven people. Translation: we want to be successful, honor our word and be respected by others. Notice empathy or compassion in sync with our success. we bring our heart to work and hammer away at our task plan. Focus on goal, target and succeed or fail. . . Or is it?

As people we need connection through our work. The type and intensity of connection is as diverse as we are people. However we all benefit if we are offered one thing:  Empathy at Work. Three words, five syllables and yet it’s still a scarce commodity. When’s the last time you encountered ANY degree of it in the course of a day? It’s an easy sentence, so why do we struggle? Perhaps it has something to do with the tools we use at work.

I remember a song I learned as a child, “If I had a Hammer”. You may remember it. A song about hammering out danger, warning and love between people – “all over this land. The song didn’t mention that it’s not good to hammer everything. Seems common sense, but occasionally forget it when we enter the work arena.

Empathy in the arena is as important, if not more important than the tools we rely heavily on in our work. We are more successful if we collaborate. Here are a few ways to practice empathy effectively. Its good at work, and any other interaction.

1. Set your viewpoint aside and genuinely try to see things from the other person’s lens
2. Acknowledge the other person’s perspective
3. Challenge / Question your attitude
4. Listen
5. Ask helpful questions

Hammers are helpful, but not on everything. Remember, just because you have a hammer, does not make everything a nail. Empathy at Work is a hot commodity and a soft skill with high ROI.  If you are not receiving empathy, start by offering it. People often reflect back to us the behaviors we demonstrate. Empathy and success are partners, not opponents.

With Warmest Regards,

Are you having a good day? Is your day lousy? Do you have supportive people in your corner and a smile on your face ~ or is the world against you and you just can’t catch a break? It may be time to take a closer look at what has your attention. Whether you do it or not probably depends on your current mood.

Last week, I read a Facebook post from a friend about suddenly finding 4-leaf clovers. She said, “Somehow I have become a 4-leaf clover magnet.”  Fascinating. Have you ever noticed that once you start looking for something, more of it shows up? Whether it’s a clover, a green car, something to smile about or something that’s irritating – we get what we give our attention and energy. You have the power to change how you feel. It all starts with what you are seeking.

Do you know a constant complainer? They have a gripe for EVERYTHING. The weather, traffic, not enough sleep, too much or too little of this or that. They drain energy out of everyone and everything around them. It’s contagious. Without diligence and awareness you can quickly get sucked into their isn’t-it-awful Pit of Despair.

Gratitude and appreciation serve as a healthy practice and strong antidote for stinking thinking. If our experience is determined by our attention and what gets our energy, what could happen when we choose to appreciate the good things in our life with greater intensity? If we start to seek out and express gratitude we just might become a magnet for whatever it is we are thankful for, maybe even 4-leaf clovers.

That’s why I love this picture. Doesn’t matter where you are or where you finish, if you aren’t grateful for what you have, you certainly won’t be any happier with more. Isn’t it worth a test drive?

Go ahead and GYGO: Get Your Gratitude On! Appreciate what is. You may find your life is a happier, more fulfilling and inviting place.  Let me know how it goes.
