Moving Forward: Where Are You?

In any environment there are plenty of people who don't like their job. Yet it is especially interesting in times such as we have today where so many are unemployed. Two years ago when unemployment started rising it was the lower wage earners being laid off, then that trickled, or flooded in some cases, all the way to the upper wage and white collar executives.

And we still have people with jobs who don't like their jobs; attorney's, clerical, nurses, business owners, underwriters, sales people, accountants, pastors, doctors, and the list goes on.

Many of us have based our careers on competence; we have, or can gain, the talent, aptitude, skill and knowledge to do the job. Thus, that is what we will do. Wrap that up with family, house, debt and expectations and we can have a bundled mess.

I've repeated many times the phrase you'll be in the same place five years from now as you are now except for what you listen to, watch, who you associate with and what you read. And, as important as that is, trusting and knowing who you are, and who others believe you to be is more important.

Brad McCoy, Colt's dad, says "prepare the children for the path, not the path for the children."

Knowing your behavioral characteristics, seeing them written in a report generated from what seemed to be a silly group of questions, is eye opening.

Our ABC Assessment -
  • identifies a person's primary behavioral tendencies when working with others
  • identifies the way in which a person will respond to stress, conflict, leadership, and followership
  • provides a tool for how to better manage one's behaviors for the benefit of the individual and the team.
