This is an interesting occurrence, things happened for a reason and not randomly. I have received this one distinction, two times in two occasions within two days. The distinction is:
The amount of ENERGY and ENTHUSIASM by one individual spreads and brings positive effects!
I had personally experienced it at the Taekwondo training session I participated on Tuesday, and so has my dear friend experienced it in his workplace!
My experience
A junior was leading the Taekwondo training when I arrived at the dojang (training hall in Korean, Karate practitioner uses dojo, savvy?). At the end of the session, the junior who was leading the training came up to me and thanked me for coming. I asked why so and his reply was that the group becomes livelier and more energetic when I when I joined in the training with them.
In response, I told him that the amount of energy and enthusiasm that a trainer put in the training is reflected in the rest of the participant. I further asked him, how many percent of energy and enthusiasm he put in when conducting the training that day. He reluctantly said less than 100%. The good thing is he admits it and promise to put in more effort. Hmmm…Am I a good coach or what?
My friend’s experience
My dear friend was very excited when he shared with me, about 2 weeks ago that a lady had offered him a post for Assistant Relation Manager for another bank. He was flattered and yet was humble enough to admit his experience in the banking industry is insufficient and tactfully declined the offer, although he is aiming for that position.
When I met him last night, I saw the same enthusiasm and sparkle in his eyes again. He shared that the leader of the main dealer team from the bank he is working now offered him a position to be part of dealer’s team. Again, he was flattered and again he tactfully declined because that is not the work he wanted…yet, although it is a glamorous offer (at least from my perspective judging from the way he described the situation because I am not familiar with banking industry).
I shared with him the distinction I had and that his consistent high energy and enthusiasm he brings to work everyday had drawn positive attention, and there may be some who had been influenced with his manners. Hence, doors of possibilities welcome him. He gave it a thought for a moment and agreed with the distinction. I am happy for him!
So what percentage of energy and enthusiasm are you in when mending your business or work?
