GREETINGS!
In this St. Patrick's Day Communique', I focus on LUCK!
I love the definition of LUCK I once heard mentioned on the Oprah Winfrey Show:
"Luck is when opportunity and preparedness meet."
That's a great quote because it suggests that we have to actually take some action of our own, both in getting ourselves ready and showing up with positive expectation.
Take a look in the "What Do You Say" section below for ways to create positive expectation as you work with others. Also, check out a few favorite "lucky" quotes and the St. Patrick's Day Word Scramble!
I look forward to having the good fortune of partnering with you in the coming months!
All the best,
