Tips for Employees During Difficult Times

Demonstrate your value and flexibility. Become an out-of-the-box thinker. Identify time and money wasters and change what you can. Speak with data and not emotion.

Think “can do” not “can’t do”. Become the voice of optimism. Consider this your growth stage. If you hit a wall, ask yourself, “what part of this can I influence?” Forget fighting dragons, unless dragon fighting is your strength.

Look for the blessing. This is not a sermon. This is Reality 101. We just think blessings belong in someone else’s life. You have them. Write down what they are. Ask someone else. Sometimes, people think we have “charmed lives” and can see more than we can.
