Something amazing happened yesterday. I found some cool connections when I was out doing errands and putting up posters for our Leadership Program. I had authentic conversations with real people face to face. Here is what I learned:
People are tired of being tired and working 2 or more jobs just to make ends meet. Some manage kids, multiple schedules, work and are trying to manage their stress level. People are craving purpose in their jobs and want to be appreciated and use their skills. People are done with toxic environments and just want inspired leadership. Meaning and purpose driven direction are top on the list. I also discovered some people have overcome challenges and are doing something they love while they create and inspire. I met people working in sales, students, moms , business owners, servers and a cool fitness instructor. Real people real stories. Everyone different yet the same. Seems like we all want to enjoy a good life. What would your best life look like? When you get curious and show interest in someone's story they become interested in your story and at the end of the day we all connected. If you look for the good in people there is a chance they may show you their Authentic Self. A simple questions like, "How is your day going?" will open opportunity for a face to face conversation. Take a moment to listen and offer some positives or humour. You are a natural communicator who will discover bridges to hope when you reach out and connect face to face. Your story holds wisdom. Imagine if people really knew all the experiences and challenges you have already overcome to be here right now in this moment. Remember every story matters and connections build us up and offer solutions. Step out of your comfort zone. Discover the CODE!
