GOOD PRACTICES

Suggestions to help you become more successful:

KEEP AN OPEN MIND

Everyone has something to offer. Give what you have to give and find out what others are good at. Be open minded about this and trust your intuition.

SHOW UP

Unless you are sick, get to meetings on time and be prepared for them. Nothing can replace people being together. 

FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS

It is your responsibility to focus and pay attention. Being able to execute tasks per the specifications is required for all school assignments and all professional positions. If you’re not sure what is required, find out.

LOOK CLEAN & NEAT

Whether we like it or not, we are judged by how we look. Wear colors and styles that look good on you. Confidence is attractive!

ACCEPT REALITY

Multi-tasking is an illusion. Decide on 1 goal and do it. Then address the next goal.

THE X FACTOR

Whatever your plan, the unexpected will happen at some point. Include wiggle room for this and be able to adapt.

CHECK THE TECH

Make sure the equipment and modes you are using for a presentation or interview are operating properly. Glitches at some point will prevent you from doing what was planned. You must be able to give your audience the key points no matter what.

EXERCISE

Moving helps everything.

ACCEPT CRITICISM

Receiving criticism and feedback on your work is a skill. Use what you like and seems valid and ignore the rest. Do not get hung up on any one bit. You have your life to live and you are the decider.

PURSUE YOUR DREAMS

Whatever are your dreams, figure out the steps to achieve them and start doing that. You do not have to know everything in advance; what you know right now is enough to lead you to the next step. Be open minded about how things work out. Have faith.
