Thoughts from Joyce

Do you agree with George Bernard Shaw?  People think that they are great multitaskers.  They don’t see how many communication mistakes take place when they are not concentrating on the person right in front of them.  I’m guilty of this also and do what I can to put down the phone when someone is in front of me.  The next time someone accuses you of not listening, agree with them and lift your eyes up.  It’s not rocket science and we all need to improve in this area. It’s ALL generations!   😉

Samuel Goldwyn’s Motivational Quote on Critics

motivational quote | Joyce Weiss | Career Coach

#motivationalquote #SamuelGoldwyn #favoritequoteaboutcritics

Keep Samuel Goldwyn’s motivational quote handy the next time someone “rains on your parade.”  I’m sure you can think of someone.  Right? I was showing a neighbor my new garden because it came out better than I ever dreamed.  Are you ready for her brilliant comment?  “Joyce, you should put woodchips on the dirt because it looks too much like a forest.” I decided not to respond because the whole idea was to create my garden so it would look natural – like a forest! 😉

We can decide to listen to our critics or simply ignore them.  This neighbor has a beautiful garden.  Her garden is manicured with all the pink flowers planted in perfect rows. I understand why she had to add her two-cents because my garden is totally different than hers.  I only wish I could always be as open to critical people when issues are a bit deeper.

I take constructive feedback very seriously because feedback is important to grow personally and professionally.  The problem with most people is that they forget an important word – constructive.  Sarcasm and judgment are not part of the equation to get good results.

It’s your turn.  Please comment in the blog or send me an email HERE when someone offered criticism that wasn’t constructive.

My Favorite Motivational Quote About Determination

 

motivational quote | Joyce Weiss | Career Coach

#motivationalquote
#Zigziglar
#success

This motivational quote is perfect for those of you who have family members attending high school or college. We can’t force others to learn.  It has to be something discovered on our own.  Those of you who live Zig Ziglar’s words realize the power of his message.

Clients who are open to learning about themselves know that learning is a continuous process.  They progress quickly during their coaching experience.  They are open to learning how they can improve and are accountable when they make mistakes while trying new strategies.

I will not work with people who are not willing to answer the following questions:

  • What worked this week?
  • What mistakes did you make?
  • What do you want to improve?

People who are not willing to learn are not successful coaching candidates.  The ones who are determined to learn advance in their career and live a fulfilled life.  It’s not rocket science.  Coaches ask questions in order to help clients discover this on their own.

What messages do you take away from this motivational quote?
What challenges do you experience with colleagues or relatives who don’t know the power of constant learning?

Feel free to forward this message to those who need to hear these important words from Zig Ziglar.
