I worked in healthcare most of my career from doctor offices, hospitals, nursing homes, research facilities and office administration buildings and the one thing that I found consistent with my success at work was my attitude. My attitude made the difference in how my engagements went with my bosses, colleagues, patients and customers. I didn’t realize how my positive or negative input on a subject could change the scope on the issue and deciding factor. And so as time went on I noticed I got a lot further in my career with having a positive attitude and was able to combat resistance. My advice to someone when asked ‘How do you deal with this or that with a positive attitude’ my response is that- It’s a lot easier for me to be nice, friendly, or complimentary then to respond back negative, angry or greedy for self benefit. So I asked the question this Topic Tuesday about the role you play at work because I wanted to raise awareness to an area in life where we spend most of our time and I believe in many ways shapes, molds and define who we think we are. So your approach at work has a huge impact of how people see you, respect you and value your perspective or opinion. I was certified a few years ago in life coaching and one of the things I gained from the course was purpose and progress and although I am a wife, mother and former employee it was certainly beneficial as I learned a great deal from taking the course. So go make a difference, you can make a difference, go make a difference in the world!
