“You can do it! You’re almost there! Way to go number 10!!” These were some of the motivating words I heard running the two mile stretch of the Ramblin’ Rose mini-sprint triathalon in Chapel Hill Sunday, October 9th.
Our team of two consisted of me-swimming/running and my college roommate and friend since 7th grade-Kathleen Carney Barker-biking. I’m not a runner, don’t like it, I’m not fast and last year during this event (even though I did the entire thing solo) I stopped and walked several times. NOT this year…with the encouragement from the crowd -I used it as fuel To KEEP GOING. To TRY HARDER. To STAY FOCUSED. To DO MY BEST.
Who do you need to encourage on your team today? If you took a few minutes out of your day to meet with one of your employees to share with them why they are valued and appreciated at work – what would the impact be?
If you wrote a note to one of your children telling them how proud you are of their accomplishments, what traits of their personality you admire and share why discipline and guidance is important to help them grow and learn – how would that change your relationship?
Remember – You can do it!
