Stop taking your unhappiness at work out on others

I want to career coach job seekers who go out of their way to mentor others.

I prefer working with people who believe that they are not working for their own gain but for that of others.

Those people exist…you have to find them or become one yourself.

I remember those caring team leaders and I want to support them.

Do you recall your favorite boss? Did you smile thinking about him or her?

What about a crappy boss? Did you cringe?

Oftentimes, when you have a crappy boss…it’s because they don’t want to be there.

I recall managers who had terrible commutes who didn’t see their kids and had short tempers as a result.

None of it is fair, yet I encourage you as a leader to realize that YOU don’t have to be a crappy boss.

You have options.

I encourage you to weigh your options the next time you lose your cool at work.

Stop for a minute the next time that you are overreacting to a mistake.

Are you angry because you’re frustrated with your job? Your life? Something else?

Don’t lose yourself in corporate. Be honest with yourself and change your circumstances. Forget about prior rejections or haters who are telling you that you are a one trick pony. Do something about being unhappy at work. It doesn’t have to be something extreme.

Here are some ideas…

find new workplace friends
start networking your way out of the company
meditate
levitate 😉

Do something to get out of your mind.

Focus on your real-life and how your unhappiness could be affecting others.

Consider how your unhappiness could be preventing others from realizing their own potential.

Take action NOW not in January — there’s nothing special that happens then.

“Today is a beautiful day,” as one of my three-year olds Nick says every morning as he looks outside the window. He believes that it is a beautiful day – rain or shine and so should you. You’ll be a better manager, boss, or people leader, for taking action today to work on your own happiness. Trust me your “underlings” will thank you for it.

If you enjoy uplifting others at work and want guidance on how to get back to doing that then I’m the right guide for you. Start here.

PS: Do not share this or its recipient will assume that you are trying to tell them something about their effectiveness as a boss. Try to keep this message a secret. No one needs to know you are working on yourself just yet.
