Monday Morning Dread!

Posted by workplaceanger on February 8, 2010

It’s Monday morning and you may already be dreading going in to work, interacting with certain co-workers and completing certain tasks. One thing I often notice with people is that they prepare for a bad day, bad week, bad month before it’s even occurred!

Sure, not every day will be great, not every interaction will get you the results you want. However starting your day and/or week with a negative disposition will cloud your judgement and effect your interactions with others. Think of it this way, if you think it’s going to be a bad day… it will be. If you think you are going to get into a dispute with your manager, you will.  Greek Stoic Philosopher, Epictetus said it best : People are not disturbed by things, but by the view they take of them. It’s not so much what we think, than it is our perceptions about things. What if you decided to take a different view of your work situation, your boss, or your co-workers? What do you think might be different in your day?

Wishing you an AWESOME Monday Morning! Make it a great day!

What do you want to do?

Posted by workplaceanger on January 11, 2010

We’re a few days into 2010 and I know many of us have made New Year’s resolutions in regards to our health, finances, careers, etc. I was curious if anyone had any as it related to their interpersonal skills such as “I would like to be less frustrated with my co-workers”, “I’d like to respond better to my staff when conflict arises…”, etc.  If so, I’d like to hear about them.

Your comments are greatly appreciated and I will use them as topics for my posts this year.

Thanks for your time and attention and I’m excited to hear what you have to say!
