Accepting change ~ Tommy Middaugh


"You must be the change you wish to see in the world." - Mahatma Gandhi

 

One thing you can always count on is change. To be successful in business, you need to embrace change. This allows you to quickly spot what needs your attention, make a plan, change things for the better and encourage growth. Businesses of all sizes have to make internal changes to adapt to the many external changes that are part of our ever-changing world. A business that wants to grow will encourage its employees to learn and grow. As workers become more knowledgeable and skilled, they are more flexible and can contribute to the company’s growth even more.

 

A few changes have happened at Travel To Go recently, which are signs of our growth as a business. We’ve added several new people to our training and our business development teams. We’re also changing the very structure of our organization by introducing task teams specialized in various areas of travel (e.g. resorts, cruises, airlines) to better serve your travel needs. Finally we’re adding new ideas to our email campaigns to make sure we continue deliver the best value on our services. At Travel To Go, we think change is good and we hope you’ll like it too.

 

Here are some ideas of changes you can apply in your work environment that will make you step out of your personal boundaries, challenge yourself and encourage personal growth:

- Move your furniture around the room to gain a new perspective and foster creativity.

- Remove the clutter from the top of your desk and clean up your computer files.

- Change your daily routine. If you usually start the day checking voicemail and email, try working on an important project instead. Take this opportunity to work with a fresh and focused mind.

- Leave the office for a few hours and work from a corner table at your favorite coffee shop.

- Take a class to learn new software, or a topic you’re not familiar with.

 

What other ways have you tried to support your personal growth at work?
