Leaving It All on the Field

Leaving It All On The Field

By Jeff Baldock of Careersport Inc.

Work is a part of our lives that we have a limited number of years to participate in. Often people wander through their careers without sitting down to really examine what they are passionate about giving to others. They forget that results for a customer make differences that enable others to achieve their goals.

If one chooses to operate without clear objectives, they reduce their focus and their ability to have impact on those they serve. Mediocrity is simply not fun and aimless. It brings us to a place of really questionning our lives. There is no dress rehearsal. This is it. Our time to accomplish and contribute is now, it is day to day. The satisfaction and payoff of tackling the issues with a plan is great.

People obtain fulfillment and increased confidence through much of what they accomplish at work. When they apply their talents to a clear set of goals and plans and exert all they have within a limited number of hours, they achieve more and experience greater satisfaction. Start with a plan of action. Work with a boss or coach to establish clear outcomes to achieve that line up with the organization vision, values and goals.

Be committed to approaching each day with a set plan. Share your plan with your supervisor so they are clear and buy into your objectives. Tackle the plan. Take time to rest. Celebrate the victories.

Update your resume with your new success. This new approach and determination to go the next level where you leave it all on the field brings greater reward for you, your team and the customers.
