Random Thoughts on Change

Tuesday 09/07/2010

Fall is on its way! As a child I always looked forward to the changes that fall brings – back into the routine of school (which meant new clothes and, more importantly, new school supplies!), the start of football season, the cooler mornings and the changing colors of leaves on trees and bushes. I spent last weekend in the mountains of North Carolina and noticed a few color changes already occurring. It invigorated me!

What does the change in seasons mean for you personally or for your organization?

• Are you pursuing an advanced degree and arranging your schedule to accommodate study time?
• Are you taking on the challenge of learning a new language or trying out a new hobby?
• Are you contemplating the next phase of your career and clarifying what you want to accomplish before your graceful exit?
• Are you reviewing your company budget and finding those extra training dollars to send an emerging leader to a national conference?
• Are you already thinking ahead to winter and the holiday memories you want to create for your family this year?

Change is always with us. We change jobs, we take on new home projects, we start healthy habits, we start new businesses, we join new social groups. What changes do you find yourself contemplating as we slip into the fall season? No matter what it is, your success is assured if you clarify your goals and set reasonable targets to achieve. Send me a note and let me know the changes you are undertaking.  And, my best wishes for your success!
