Tip of The Month
Reality TV is plagued with talent shows but why? Because we enjoy watching people be extraordinary at something whether it's singing, creating a must-have product, or hand balancing. I admire these people for exploiting their talents, albeit some are more talented than others: They have the courage to go for their dreams by expressing their gifts.
When complimented on his hand balancing act, a contestant on "America's Got Talent" responded with "Well, I've been practicing this for 45 years." He never has been complacent with his talent, and practices it every day. Consider your talents and then ask yourself what you can do to up your game? Here are three of my best practices:
1. Be creative to innovate. This is how I created my program, "Offsite2Insight."
2. Attend training and read to learn. I find inspiration and ideas from others.
3. Share my talent with others. I always ask for feedback, so I can improve.
How can you create your own "talent show" in your business? Presumably you were hired or started a business because you had some talent for that position or business. Besides vying for promotions, pay raises, or sales, what are you doing to "win" at your talent? Is your organization inadvertently rewarding mediocrity by tolerating average performance? How will you know that you are the "best" at what you do?
