On The Job

SEPTEMBER 19, 2016

It may take more than a few cups of coffee or even a stupid cat video to really rev us up to work on the first day of the week, but we do eventually kick into gear. For example, you may nearly bust a blood vessel when the phone rings continuously and the slacker refuses to answer it. Or Tuesday? Or Wednesday?

Technology-related procrastination is relatively easy to stop by implementing a no-phone policy during the workday. If managers catch employees constantly playing on their phones instead of working, they can take disciplinary action. If someone isn’t feeling up to the task on any given day, they should tell you about it.

Having low self-esteem or confidence issues can be a real challenge in life, particularly in the office and particularly for assistants. We have a difficult job and if we are unable to stand up for ourselves this makes the role a lot harder. Once you have pushed yourself to speak over the phone, take a trip to their office.

Becoming self-aware does not mean being selfish. Discoveringyour true self enables you to give more of yourself, which in turn benefits your relationships as well as helping to build your self esteem and confidence. Setting goals – When you set goals, how do you keep up with them?

We live in a world where you can’t move an inch without bumping into someone with a mobile phone. When you expect people to show up as expected and you share that expectation, most people will show up as expected. Almost nothing annoys me more than people who no-show. To my mind, it’s discourteous and disrespectful.

Trying to balance work, with raising a family, keeping up with laundry, shopping, cleaning, cooking (the list is endless) was always a challenge. I decided not to let the kids play with their video games, I turned off my cell phone (NOTHING was more important than my children – whoever it was could wait), and any other distractions.

Does it rev your cognitive engine and get you fired up? We get a feeling of accomplishment and pride, which builds our self esteem. Sometimes it’s easy to let our guard down and soak up bad attitudes and “can’t do’s.” And how will we build solutions and success into each meeting, phone call and work request?

Tone can be difficult to read over email and over the phone. Sometimes, even the most self-aware people in the world are completely unaware of the impact they’re having on others. Perhaps your boss is so wrapped up in his own world, he doesn’t hear the condescension in his voice. Call Attention to It. Too bad for him.

This type of stress is unnecessary and not only derails your day but negatively affects your self esteem. Putting a check mark next to a completed activity releases endorphins in your brain, so if you need a little pick-me-up, complete something and check it off! If you are on the phone a great deal, get a wireless headset.

I know that is easier said than done because low self esteem may be the roadblock. I found this link to the Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale which has some questions we can ask ourselves to see where we are on the self esteem scale. Don’t let self doubt take over. Now that’s positive self talk.

It’s about what goes on in your head, not what happens on your smart phone. Nothing overwhelms an entrepreneur more than waking up asking “What should I focus on today?” Quit thinking you’re a superhero – it’s better to boost self esteem by committing to less and overachieving.

I thought she had the potential to be a great assistant except for her low self esteem and she would put herself down when she made a mistake. One day she just up and quit. One of the biggest issues surrounding substance abuse in the workplace are the lies required to keep up the front that everything is ok.

This is now a more grown up generation,” says Dan Finnigan, CEO of Jobvite. There is nothing like real life to wake people up. When hiring picks up,(and it will), I think we'll see a more humble workforce. Keep up the good work! Hochwarter over the phone. At least they will be that way for a couple of years!

To wait until you are in the moment when things heat up, blow up, or go south is too late because not only do you have a job to do that’s hard with a great boss, it will be 10x worse to have a boss that is probably waiting for you to mess up just so he has a “good reason” to yell at you.

Marc and I realized, though, that this ebook was just one case amongst several where people (often innocently and unwittingly) end up damaging someone else’s life – by trying to help. Now, of course, self-help books are not always a total waste of time. But a good self-help book knows its own limits. Kelly, I agree.
