 Greetings!I'm sharing this not-so-proud moment with you here, to introduce this month's topic... I was irritated as I whined to my very patient Assessment Certification Trainer,
"I'm NOT low in 'Role Awareness and Job Engagement!' This assessment MUST be wrong! What is 'Role Awareness' any way, and what does IT have to do with being a great Consultant?"
Sometimes I can be a challenging student! That was back in 2004, when I first started my business. I later learned that I was having a typical feedback reaction, often referred to as: S.O.A.K. - S.surprise, O.outrage, A.acceptance & K.knowledge. Since then I've learned not only what Role Awareness and Job Engagement is, but how important it is to high performance, how to measure it and develop more of it personally and professionally. In this month's newsletter I'll show you what it looks like and give you nine interview questions you can use to look for it in candidates. Next month, I'll share some tips and tools for development. As in every newsletter I've added new videos: one Just for Fun and another for Inspiration around Thanksgiving. It is Thanksgiving time in the United States.
May you and everyone you love, where ever you are, feel blessed, loved and worthy of everything good!!Thank you for being a Wake Up Eager friend, colleague and reader!! "WakeUpEager.com: For leaders who want to feel great at work..." |

  AMERICAN PICKERS: High Job Engagement in Action -
What it Means & How to Hire For It* This article will take <2 minutes to read
Assess role awareness and job engagement of your candidates with the nine interview questions I share in this article. Mike and Frank, the main characters in the popular History Channel Reality TV Show, American Pickers, share their adventures as they roam around the country looking for jewels in junk. When I watch the show I see more than 'dumpster diving' --- I see a living breathing example of an important internal dimension that leads to high performance - a trait found in ALL high performers: high Role Awareness and Job Engagement. |
 THIS MONTH'S - JUST FOR FUN VIDEO:
American Pickers, Mike and Frank, are having fun on the job --- see their silliness at work in this two minute video.
Mike and Frank could be cranky as they drive across the country (and sometimes they are) but mostly they focus on enjoying each other and the people they meet.

 WAKE UP EAGER STATEMENTS
POSTER Having a good feeling day and life does not happen by accident. It is a choice we can make (or not make) in every moment.
My daily goal is to be as honest as I can about how I really feel, (I don't try to fake feeling good) and then, to lean into where I am headed. I try yo to look toward where I want to be (not stay stuck @ what I don't want). Not only does this Wake Up Eager 'poster' represent the key themes expressed in my website, they represent statements that can help us all remember to choose more often, so we can lean into more Wake Up Eager days. Print your copy of the Wake Up Eager Manifesto, here. |
 THIS MONTH'S - INSPIRATION VIDEO
Johnny Cash sings a Thanksgiving Prayer on an episode of Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman and I love it when he sings, "Thanksgiving Day for the Rest of My Life..."
Thanksgiving is a wonderful habit to develop. May every day be a thanksgiving-type of day for you!

'HOW TO HIRE RIGHT' TOOLS AND RESOURCES
Over the past 3 years, as budgets for training has been 'squirrel-ly' my Improve 'Hiring Fit' Assessment process has remained consistently strong, all without much prodding and selling on my part.
Because this process is so powerful,it helps you put the right people in the right seats, I've tried to get it into as many hands as possible.
Realizing that not every one has the time and inclination to do my Assessment process, I developed a half-day training workshop giving your interviewers many tools to help them hire high performers every time. Contact me for more information about my half-day, How to Hire Right Workshop.
And again, realizing that not everyone has the time and inclination to hold a half-day training class, I developed an online MP3 and workbook, that can be used immediately. Find out more about my online, How To Conduct An Interview class, here. |
