Thought for the day:

Education without action is just entertainment.

So your company is putting resources behind a training program? Great…but not only should the material be relatable & motivating, but it needs to explain why…..

….why is this important?

….why should I care?

There is a lot going on in our world at the moment, and many are waiting anxiously for 2020 to be over. Let’s remember there are many folks out there who need some compassion & a hand—not necessarily money, maybe just someone to listen, to hold a door open, hold a place in line, or just a thank you.

This isn’t Human Resources related in the purest sense, but I try to be observant & watch when people may be hurting & how it can affect them on the job.

If you’re a manager or boss, be the best manager or boss you can be. If you’re an employee, be the best employee you can be.

We are all in this together, as cliched as that sounds. But it’s true. Sometimes a little care & concern can make all the difference in the world.

Remember, things come to pass, not to stay. We will get through it.

“Laughter is less about what is going on around you than how you choose to react to it. Choose to smile & laugh more often. Try to see the humor in your weaknesses, mistakes, and other aspects of your life. Take the time to laugh at the adventures of children and the funny behaviors of pets. A dog or cat can bring a lot of laughter to a home.

“Did you know that the brain is unable to sustain 2 opposite emotions at the same time? Why is that important to remember? Because it is therefore nearly impossible to laugh and feel anxious or depressed at the same time...perhaps this is why athletes & other high intensity performers often make jokes just before a big game. Laughter relieves stress, and stress reduction helps you relax & perform your best.”—Dr. Earl Suttle

“Think about areas of your life that you need to improve. Everyone can improve. It’s no disgrace. In what ways would you like to become more successful? Where do you need to change your attitude?...Reflect on these questions. But when you do, remember this warning—don’t be too hard on yourself. Guilt can be a very destructive emotion; when over emphasized it simply won’t help you....Rather, reflect on your past mistakes, ask for forgiveness, and learn from them. Who knows, some things you call “mistakes” today may turn out to be the “right” thing in the long run...Reflect on your weakness & deficiencies and let them inspire you to grow. If you can’t be nice to you, then who will be?”
—Dr. Earl Suttle

"Learn to work harder on yourself than you do on your job. When you work hard at your job, you can earn a living. When you work hard on yourself, you can earn a fortune."

~Dr. Earl Suttle

I had the privilege of hearing Dr. Suttle speak a couple of years ago. As a successful & eloquent African American businessman, he captivates his audiences. Normally I would not accentuate his racial identity...but I intend to post more of his wisdom over the coming days, and I feel it’s germane to the times we are in.

Stay tuned. 😁
