Mine. Mine. Mine.



So you’re good at your job. You always have your projects in on time. You bring in money. And the customers love you. However, you love to do everything yourself! No delegation. No sharing. No nothing. Mine. Mine. Mine.

We mean, sometimes in the short term, this is exactly what you need to do to get the job done. Sometimes you need to take action to make sure that everything is ready to present to your prospective clients, or even just complete a job that needs to be done in the office. But, in the long term, you will wear yourself down, be consistently tired, stress yourself out, and even stress your colleagues out!

So take a step back, take a load off, and delegate! Find out which of your colleagues have the skills you need to get the job done. You don’t want to be known as one of those annoying seagulls, where everything is consistently “mine.” So just breathe, plan and strategize with your co-workers, split up the work, and trust that they can do just as great as you can, if not better! You will thank yourself for entering the beautiful world of delegation!

Holding on too tight - not much fun for little Harpo.

“Well, you can’t never let anything happen to him. then nothing would ever happen to him. Not much fun for little Harpo.” Marlin : What is going on?! Dory : I'll check! Waaaaaaaaaa... Marlin : No, no more whale, you can't speak whale! Dory : Yes, I can! Marlin : No, you can't! You think you could do these things, but you can't, Nemo! [ stops and gasps ] Dory : Okay! [ lets go ] Marlin : Dory! [ grabs her ] Dory : He says, "It's time to let go". Everything's going to be all right. Marlin : How do you know, how do you know something bad isn't gonna happen?! Dory : I don't! This scene in Finding Nemo makes a great point... sometimes we hold on so tight that we are actually holding others back.  We make a lot of assumptions on the qualifications of others, and some may be bang on, but what about the assumptions that aren't? How much potential are we missing within our organizations by never letting go enough for ou

Are You a Marlin or a Dory?

Have you ever had the opportunity to be a part of a dream team?… We mean a team where you all enjoy each other, accomplish tasks efficiently, and succeed with minimal issues? Let us tell you, these teams do exist! Whether you’re at the office, at home, at school, or inside of Dr. Phillip Sherman’s fish tank, there are communication skills that you can contribute to the group, to create your very own DREAM TEAM! First of all, effective communicate is key! If you’re a direct communicator in a group of expressive, emotional communicators, chances are, you need to change your communication style. Remember this, people will not change their communication styles for you, YOU need to change your style for them! Now, imagine this: You’re swimming in the great blue. There are only two of you. One with the name of Marlin, and one with the name of Dory. Now Marlin, he’s a cool guy - he’s a leader. BUT, he communicates with authority, he’s very to-the-point, and he’s determined to strive for succe

Face Your Mount Wannahockaloogie

Picture this. You’re a little fish; for the sake of this blog we’ll call you Nemo and you’re at an obstacle in life. This obstacle is named choice, and it appears in the form of an underwater volcano called, Mount Wannahockaloogie. You’re given two choices, they are: 1.Swim through the Ring of Fire. With this choice, you do not know what opportunity lies on the other side. However, this choice gives you a chance to learn and grow no matter what the outcome is. or 2. Don’t swim through the Ring of Fire. This choice assures that you will be satisfied, as you know what the outcome will be.  Similar to everyday life, we are often faced with this hurdle in which we have to overcome. We have to make choices everyday even if it’s just a simple matter of what you’re having for lunch. If you’re a person who prefers the satisfaction of knowing where you’re going to end up rather than an adventurous person who has no clue, great! But, if you are wanting to grow in a pers
