4 Tips to Boost Your Performance

In episode 31 I spoke about personal and professional growth. Many times those two provide cross-benefits. Meaning something you learn in one area of your life could be used in others.

[02.21] Tip #1: You need to find time for you. Find time to grab a special course, training, or self-improvement activity.

[04:22] Tip #2: You need to focus. You need to dial into your work life to challenge and remove complacency and comfort.

[06:00] We should challenge ourselves and ask “Why am I doing this task? What value does completing this task provide? Does this task need to be done now? Is there something of higher priority I should be doing?”

[08:18] Tip #3: Open up your views to true customer service. When you think of a customer, who comes to mind? Listen here to find out we all have upstream and downstream customers.

[10:20] Tip #4: BOLO – Be On the Look Out for Extreme Words! This ties directly into graciously accepting feedback.  Extreme words are often triggered by emotions.  This can cause us to become defensive and even shut down.  Learn how to accept feedback better.
