Pegine’s Thought of the Month:

“The key to our lives is the fullness we experience each and every day. Our family, our health, our spiritual connection, our positive personal thoughts about our lives is...and always will be… the cornerstone of our wealth. Passion, persistence, and a positive attitude are the guides to our success but they are nothing without the cornerstones!
Pegine Echevarria, MSW 2002

Quotes of the Month:

“Trust your gut.”
Barbara Walters

“You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”
Eleanor Roosevelt

Try-its:
Too often we get comfortable with our lives. We accept the daily routines and our daily jobs without challenging ourselves. Yet it is in the conquest of the challenge, the confrontation with self that we find our self-esteem soar!

This past month I decided to take action. I love making people laugh. It is one of the rewards of speaking professionally. I also love learning new things and improving myself. This month I decided to challenge myself. If someone loves to be funny and wants to improve his or her craft where do they go? A comedy club, of course! Yes, ladies and gentlemen I auditioned at the Comedy Zone.

It has been a long time since I have been this scared. Standing in front of 4 people to audition, as a funny person was by far one of the most frightening experiences I have had. One thing is to be funny au natural – the other is being funny on cue. I learned a lot about myself and about my craft. Here are the try-its I used. Try them for yourself.

Follow these steps so that you can have soaring self-esteem!!!

1- What is one thing that you have secretly wanted to try? Roller Skate? Fly a plane? Sing in front of an audience?
2- Call for an appointment. Set a time and day.
3- Tell a friend or your partner. Tell them “I need you to support me on this. Will you be there with me? (If they say no, go to the next person)
4- Tell an acquaintance. Someone who knows you and someone whom you would NEVER stand up. Someone who will show up and support you. It’s true you have people in your sphere who want you to win at life!
5- Show up.
6- You can pray, shake, be scared, scream – that’s all okay.
7- Now just do it!

By the way, not only did I complete the audition I also performed my first comedy gig Jan. 15, 2001. I will be performing for the next two months. See my calendar at http://www.pegine.com for dates!

Books:
Developing the Leaders Around You by John C. Maxwell.(Injoy, 1995)
A 213 page paperback filled with the how-to’s to develop leaders. One of the key components of management is creating leaders around you so that you can move toward your higher vision. Often times we get stuck in the daily parenting of staff and lose track of our own objectives as managers. This book can bring you back to your mission. Written in clear English the book can be read in short snippets. As you all know I never have enough time to sit down and read a whole book at once. I look for books that fit the hectic life style so that I’m learning and growing in between the doing.

Kick butt actions:

Support Your Network!

Life gets hectic! We all get involved with our daily ‘stuff’ until something happens and we need a favor, we need help or we are in search of referrals.

There is only one place to look “OUR NETWORK.” If we want to build more sales we need to look at our network of past, and hopefully satisfied, customers. If we want to build strong, supportive relationships we need to look at our network of dear, sometimes forgotten, friends. And when the time comes for us to move onto a new position it is our professional network that will help us find that job.

Here are four ways to keep in touch so when we need help we don’t hear “WHO?”

1- Write a Handwritten postcard to everyone in your network at least once every three months.
2- Call everyone in your network once every 6 months to see how they are..and to offer your services. Give them an update of what is new.
3- Send a Valentine’s card and Thanksgiving. Two holidays that give you an opportunity to share how much you appreciate them.
4- Have an e-zine that you can email with a quote, new way to use an old product, or update about your life.

People like to have people care about them. Show you care by keeping in touch.
