When It Really Counts

Oh dear.
Someone’s feeling the squeeze.
Those budget pressures.
Resourcing issues.
Not enough time.
Hey, I feel your pain.
I get it.
I’ve been there.
But who do you think you’re helping when you stalk round the office like a bear with a sore head?
Did you really save yourself some precious time by not including a greeting in that email?
Come on now.
Time to check yourself before you wreck yourself (and everything around you).
Give a little more.
Try a little harder.
That 10-15% you keep in reserve.
Your back-up power supply.
Now’s the time to use it.
Last minute pitch?
Go for it.
Late night email?
Hit send straight away.
Want to be scowly, do it on your own time.
Feel like a rude girl?
Don’t bother.
Charm.
Personality.
Grace under fire.
That’s the key.
We’re all being asked to do more with less.
The winners will be the ones who manage to do it with a smile.
