“When you enjoy what you are doing, you will never work a day in your life!”
This is a very true statement, but sometimes the stress from work can really get to a person, and I believe the only way to not let the stress get you down is to have a positive attitude.
Not only does a positive attitude make your work easier, it also will assist when it comes time for advancements in your career. Of course, maintaining a positive attitude is not always the easiest task, but here are some tips on ways to show positive work behavior!
Make an Impact – Be a team player and work hard on the tasks that you are given. Always give 110% and try to set goals for yourself that are challenging- so you can show your value to the company.
Bring Ideas to the table – Don’t be afraid to make suggestions on how to make your workplace better, and get involved in projects that will allow you to share your knowledge.
Show Integrity – Be honest! Don’t try to get ahead by cheating, and don’t get involved in disrespecting other employees with gossip or petty issues.
If you think positively, it will be easier to act positively!

March is a month that brings us green beer, easter bunnies, and hope that springs eternal. March also brings us the annual NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. This is the time of year when upsets happen, buzzer-beaters are commonplace, and in the end, one team will be left standing cutting down the nets. It is also the time of year to run your company’s NCAA bracket challenge.
Do’s and Don’ts of your bracket challenge:
DO- include everybody- this is the time of year where Cathy in Payroll has just as good of a chance to win as Johnny in Sales who plays hoops every Tuesday. I laughed when a couple years ago my payroll manager said she was picking teams from warm weather states- guess who was laughing when Florida beat UCLA to win the title?
DON’T- fill out your brackets at work- this is something that should be done away from work and not on any company time.
DO- make it reasonable to enter. Determine a dollar amount to enter that will be good for everybody in the office- I suggest $5.
DON’T- make it complicated- keep the scoring system simple and easy for all to understand.
DO- have fun with it- it’s a good opportunity for you to talk to your co-workers about something other than work and the weather- office bragging rights are at stake!
DON’T- pick a #16 seed to win a game- it’s never happened in the history of the NCAA tournament.
Enjoy the tournament, pick the winners, have fun with it, but most importantly, do it on your time, not while you’re on the clock.
