There's plenty enough serious hands on work to fill anyone’s day in business. Whether it be the business of running a small business, big business, home business…FAMILY business. It’s easy to get caught up in the busyness of business.
It’s for that very reason that I believe it’s very important to make it FUN - and a little QUIRKY. At TCI this is Value # 5 for us and it’s key to our Culture being that of the kind of place to work that feels like home, the kind of place you don’t watch the clock in, the kind of place you’ll stay until you’re ready to go and you’ll love every minute of it.
Because we hire and fire on the Values it means that the people who fill the environment everyday are people who know how to take themselves lightly, love to laugh and are happy to bring it and share it with others.
Each one of us is an individual, not just at TCI but in any environment. Have a think about the environment you are creating around you. Are you allowing yourself and others to really shine with a smile on their face or are you insisting you/they stay head down and bum up to “do what they’re paid for” or “fulfil their obligation to the family” or ??? All work and no fun makes for a very dull environment!
What makes you memorable? I ask this because you know that great quote by Maya Angelo “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” there may just be some truth in that hey…
Here’s some questions you can ask yourself anytime to check in with how you can be the person who creates a fun and quirky environment:
- Have you laughed at yourself today?
- How have you been memorable today?
- How have you celebrate the fun and quirk that others bring?
- Did you let the true essence of your inner funky shine today?
- What have you planned in the next 90 days that will be fun for you and all those in your environment?
I challenge you to go and express your inner comic on Social Media right now and find a funny quote card to share and tag me in it so I can celebrate you!
As always please like, share and leave a comment if you found this blog valuable. Have an Inspiring and HILARIOUS day all xx
Great read Teash :) having an environment that accepts quirkiness demonstrates that 1. You acknowledge that everyone is different 2. Everyone has the opportunity to shine within their personality.
