Week 6: It's all about ATTITUDE!



Taken from the book, John Maxwell shares a moment with his dad concerning attitude. John had noticed that his 70 year old father was reading motivational attitude books. Questioning his father, he was given a response that speaks so much truth. John's father said the following,"Son, I have to keep working on my thought life. I am responsible to have a great attitude and to maintain it. My attitude does not run on automatic."

This week, it is time to check our attitudes. Read chapter 6. Be prepared to share what you learned! Have a great week! Pink hugs!! Angie

Week 5 Assignment: Problem Solving

Problem solving. Overcoming obstacles. Completing task. A Skin Care Class goes wrong. A customer is not satisfied with a product. An issue arises with a Team Member. All require two skills: quick thinking and critical thinking. Quick thinking skills requires two things: listening and providing a solution at that moment, that changes the course of the situation. It also requires us to use our critical thinking skills to put a plan together that will once again change the course of the situation. Whether it is a spur of the moment decision or one that requires time, we must use these skills if we are to move forward as a leader. In the movie, Remember the Titans, Coach Yoast was presented with a problem at the Northern Virginia Regional Championship game. The refs were against him. His defensive team was getting beaten. His starters were feeling defeated. One even quit in the middle of the game! Coach Yoast was even told before the game that he would be elected to the Virginia Coaches Hall of Fame, if he would do his part in losing the game. Big problem! What did he do?........



Oh yea, by the way, did I say that problem solving can also be inspirational! Never give up ladies! STOP. THINK. DO. INSPIRE! You can do it!

Your next assignment is to read chapter five in the Developing the Leader Within You book, plus do the workbook. Have a great week ladies! Look forward to talking with you next week! Pink Hugs! Angie
