Manager of the Year

Hello,

I recently received this account of a true occurrence from Henry an associate of mine. I thought I should share it with you.

'Karen was only half thinking of how her hair looked as she used her comb to meticulously sculpt her new haircut. Her mind was on the Manager of the Year award she was about to accept. As she re-applied her lipstick she ran through
her acceptance speech in her mind. Karen stepped back from the mirror to admire her new navy blue suit. Stunning. She looked great, felt terrific, and marched out of the ladies room with an unmistakable glow. As she waited offstage she was more excited than nervous. In a few moments she would be honored in front of 2,000 employees. When she got her cue,she strode confidently across the huge stage toward the company president, trailing two feet of toilet paper from her left heel.'

All of us have trouble seeing ourselves accurately. We often need an objective source to give us honest feedback. Karen sure could have used it!

How about you? How accurately do you see yourself in terms of the job market? Can you list your top five motivations? How about your key talents?

Research shows that we only see ourselves accurately about half of the time. When it comes to what makes you tick, it takes an unbiased source that knows what to look for to give you an accurate picture of yourself. MAPP is such a source. It identifies what motivates you, and what doesn’t. You can use that knowledge to help you understand why your present job is not satisfying, and what types of job would be.

Don’t strut upon the stage of work without objective feedback about your strengths and weaknesses. Who knows, you might be the next Manager of the Year?

Like I recommended last week, you can take the FREE career assessment test and get to know your strengths and weaknesses from an objective observer.

To your success!

First Things First!

The very first step in finding a job, advancing in your career or even deciding to go solo is to understand yourself and your motivations. What are you best suited for? What are you naturally motivated to do? This may seem easy, as we all like to feel that we know ourselves pretty well! And to a great extent we do, but we sometimes don't know everything about ourselves and that is why I recommend getting a deatiled perspective on career preferences. Knowing this before you get your very first job would be super, but there is no time like the present. So get started and enjoy the voyage of discovery by taking the free carreer assesment test today.
