Cache of the Day - Intense Work


This is a treasure that is SO difficult to find....to get EVERYTHING done at work! Mondays are particularly crazy since they are PACKED with meetings.


I head up the Professional Training and Coaching division at Employment Plus (www.employmentplus.com). My responsibilities include developing effective performance change solutions to businesses, as well as the internal training needs of Employment Plus.


Mondays are focused on internal needs. To make sure we are serving all our "customers" at Employment Plus we (our internal training team) schedule meetings with each of the functional areas, to ensure we are focusing on the right training solutions. Typically, we will discuss needs with Human Resources, Safety, Partnership Delivery, and Sales. We also have a weekly meeting with our President, Mike Ross, to make sure we are focused on his priorities. (See a picture of Mike above facilitating a session at a recent Leadership Conference we held).


While Mondays are crazy, they are loaded with great interaction and wonderful ideas. I wish we could implement everything we talk about immediately! But that's where the "treasure hunt" becomes so exciting - figuring out the right path to take, how to overcome obstacles, recognizing the sites along the way (and not getting distracted by them!).


This Monday was truly an intense work day, but it feels so good to make progress and to see that the treasure could just be ready to be found!
