Discover Important Tips Before Accepting a Promotion

i'm the bossRecently I have had some interesting “side bar” discussions  from people in my Leadership workshops.  Participants come up to me on breaks and the conversations go like this:

“Joyce I’m glad that I received a promotion because I’m making more money,  BUT…

  • “I haven’t received any training for this new position and I’m way out of my league.”
  • “I didn’t know that I was going to be responsible for so many direct reports.”
  • “My boss didn’t tell me that I was going to travel weekly with this new position.”

I feel such stress pouring out of these new leaders.  They are overwhelmed and don’t feel that they can do anything about this.  Let’s face it, most of us will NOT turn down a chance for a promotion.  First of all the company will not be impressed if we say, ‘NO” for what ever reason we give to them.  Plus we could be even more frustrated if we turn down a promotion because that could be the stepping stone that we are looking for our own success.… [Continue reading]

Powerful Tip #1

I started using John Lennon’s quote years ago when I was working on my Masters Degree in Counseling.  Many of my friends called me and complained about their kids, work, or significant other.  I used to listen because that’s just what I did.  Then it dawned on me that I gave them ideas on how to solve their conflicts yet they still called with the same complaints.  I changed my communication with these complaining friends.  I started asking them, “What are you going to do about this?”  They didn’t like the fact that I started asking them to accept responsibility about how their life would not change unless they changed the “dance steps.”  It wasn’t fun for them to call me anymore.  I loved it because I started having more control with my free time and who I wanted to be with in my life…not people who complained and failed to focus on solutions! … [Continue reading]
