Powered By Happy - FAN CLUB - LinkedIN...
Friends, Recently I had a mtg. with Dan Harris, who was reading my book. Dan is a social media expert so he is very "connected"...Dan has not only put Powered By Happy on his recommended read list, but also has created (and I didn't force him either) a POWERED BY HAPPY FAN CLUB. The Fan Club is on LinkedIn and you can get to it by searching for POWERED BY HAPPY FAN CLUB under groups. Please join, contribute and follow!! Have a HAPPY day!

Leadership Tip
I love this Leadership Tip from a friend, Mary Ann Masur, that I thought I would pass on! Enjoy!
You Don’t Need a Green Thumb To Grow Your Garden
Over the weekend I worked on my garden and planted containers on my deck. I pulled up weeds, pruned dead plants and planted new flowers to bloom.
My physical garden is a metaphor for your business garden or other area of your life.
Pick an area on which you want to focus. Ask and answer these questions:
• What is the season in this garden?
• What needs to be pruned or eliminated?
• What do the weeds look like?
• What are they overtaking?
• What kinds of animals may be digging up your plants or running around in the garden?
• What areas do you want to grow?
• What kinds of fertilizer and how much water do they need?
You do not have to have a green thumb to grow a beautiful garden. You just need to be willing to spend some time imagining, pruning, planting and nurturing. When you do, you can create what you desire.

Lovin' your job....Aint' so easy!
Lovin' your job is no easy task! It doesn't come easy! However, there are things we can do to help!
Here are a few hints and tips on how an employee can love his job, just a few points from what you mentioned in the book?
• Make sure you are doing what you love, what you are passionate about(if you aren’t make a change or volunteer for the work you are passionate about) , this helps you truly be successful
• Hang with a gang that gets it – Make sure you are hanging with colleagues that you want to emulate or are looked up to in the organization. Steal shamelessly their tips to success!
• Build relationships with your colleagues – help each other and they will help you!
• Find a Mentor – one who has tenure with your company so they can help you navigate through the political landscape of the company. Nothing can make you more “unhappy” than to be caught in a political landmine!
