How to Set the Stage for a Great Day at Work (video)

Mar 13, 2017

A few years ago, I learned an invaluable lesson from a workshop group on how to set the stage for a great day at work. Enjoy and use it in great health!

Welcome to my new video series where the emphasis is on sharing ideas to help you solve problems and strengthen performance at work.

For our kick-off video, I share an approach on setting the stage for a great day that I learned from the team I was leading through a workshop on decision-making. In this instance, the teacher became the student.

It turns out, a few minutes invested in clearing your mind and “preparing your attitude” before the work day sets the stage for success and even enjoyment! Use the approach in great health!
