Some days seems that the WHOLE universe is conspiring on our favour. Today was one of those days when everything went fine. A day loaded with good news, answers that I had been waiting for long came through today via email, text messages and mail... The whole team at Monmouth decided to leave the bickering at one side and finally enjoy each others companies. Everyone at work today seemed to be back on a joy mode and even though we were busier than ever everyone was pretty much smiling and enjoying the day letting the good energy flow.
I started the day with a meeting and a customer service training and what supposed to be a boring meeting to talk about our targets and objectives for the month ahead and to remember the team to focus and get ready for the Christmas period the meeting/training was changed (very last minute, I would say late last night while I was trying for hours to fall asleep) into an appreciation exercise. Suddenly Mr Aaron Morse came up into my head and I thought how would he approach such challenges and problems? it was then when I realised that It was time to say thank you to the guys in the team, time to appreaciate everything we have been building together and use our early meeting for a joy get together. A moment to appreciate each other. I then did ask everyone in the team to write down on a piece of paper every one's qualities. I asked everyone to focus on the positive and qualities of each other and write it down on a piece of paper that went round in the group. At the end, everyone received their piece of paper back with all the qualities that the other colleagues had written. I hope that exercise had helped everyone to remember that in the end of the day it's up to us to appreciate the day and make our day to day work a 'good thing'.
As Mr Aaron Morse taught us: Love what you do, Put your heart into it and you'll be rewarded!
And as I learnt in life Sometimes we need to give in order to receive - today was a brilliant exemple of that, when the whole Universe begin to change in our favour and send us positive things after such positive vibe at our early meeting!
