The second that FRIENDS comes on the television screen, all things that were in motion have stopped. It can be a terrible, no good, very bad day, but within seconds of hearing the opening song of FRIENDS my hands are automatically in a *clap clap clap clap* motion whilst singing every word to the song…very loud and out of tune. I enjoy working hard and being efficient—as in I put my creamer and sugar in my cup before pouring the coffee allowing the coffee to do the stirring for me. I’m a fan of quality. I’m an even bigger fan of quality when no one is looking. I’m a believer of people. I enjoy getting to know them on a personal level. I don’t see titles or levels. I see humans who have hearts, successes and stories. I’m passionate about life, my work and relationships and will dedicate my time to each.Mornings are my favorite time of the day. It’s a clean slate that allows for fresh ideas and moments of clarity. Because of my love of mornings I tend to be early, like really early everywhere—it’s a blessing and a curse. I believe that everything we do communicates so being aware of our intentional and unintentional actions is important. I seldom enjoy criticism, but the times I have allowed myself to listen to it are the times I have grown the most.Finally, something I take into account both in my personal and professional life are these three things: what is one thing I can start, one thing I can stop, and one thing I can continue. Kat Cole, President of Focus Brands, uses this technique with her team which allows for an open forum of reality-based feedback to encourage growth and vulnerability. There is something really special about vulnerability in a team dynamic. The team becomes unstoppable.
