Dancing is just part of the discovery, discovery, discovery. Martha Graham
During your career, have you danced in the dance of “One Up, One Down and What’s You?” It’s been happening frequently in the Midwest this Spring. The dance begins when you meet someone and you start a conversation. The What’s You dance occurs when the sincerity of both people leads the dance and each person dances away from an engaging business conversation. The One Up dance starts shortly after the conversation begins and one person keeps circling around the other, demonstrating a perceived betterment, for whatever reason. This dance usually ends as each party has opposite views and a sense of connectedness was lacking in the dance. The One Down dance takes more time. Patience, Humility, Curiosity or Discovery of self, or the other, is flowing through the conversational dance. Both people feel they have left the dance with a takeaway to be used or considered in the future. While I just described three dances, I know you can name many others. What type of career dance have you participated in this Spring? What did you discover about yourself and has it helped you in your career? What should have happened that didn’t? What first step are you able to take, to move closer to the conversation dance that you want? Summer officially begins during the latter part of this week. I hope this Summer Season in your career brings you closer to the dance where YOU Choose Who You Want to be Known As. Have a great week! “Jo Ann” M.

Notes: http://en.wordpress.com/tos/
A few years ago while speaking to someone, I used the phrase, a person’s viewpoint can “turn on a dime.” It was the first time this phrase was heard by the person I was speaking to. This idiom means that change can happen very quickly as a reaction to an event, whether inside ourselves or from one of our senses. For many of us, we know that we change everyday, simply because we are one day older. We are able to change lanes while driving because we were initially trained to do so and we develop experience to safely do so. We are able to change our appearance quickly with a new haircut, a new pair of glasses or a new style of clothing. Yet, to change a behavior, to move from the mid, mean or middle is not an easy task.
Perhaps we need to remind ourselves that we don’t have to move from the mid, mean or middle (which is in the center or between two opposite sides). It is a good place to be because it allows for an understanding of what is above or below you. Why does your opinion differs from the first comment or the last comment in a meeting. . . or why caution may be necessary as opposed to rushing to judgment or ignoring that a problem exists.
Opportunities are available to us. We may have to create an opportunity or one may fall unexpectedly in our lap. What opportunities have you noticed over the past few weeks of January, that you wished you had taken? Was the opportunity what you wanted? Or is your mid, mean or middle position keeping you happy in your career? As you think about a difficulty that presents an opportunity now or tomorrow, Choose Who You Want to be Known As.
Keep warm and safe on this day, my WordPress 2nd Anniversary. Thanks for your time in reading my Blog.
