How many times have you overheard the new chick or dude near you make a complete bonehead comment? On the phone, to a client, to a peer – it happens. Typically, we roll our eyes and get back to doing our jobs. What we don’t realize is by simply turning around for 1 minute, suggesting a BETTER way for the new guy to get the job done, we are helping them in a HUGE way and improving our own coaching skills.
Remember when you just started your job? There was that one person who gave you a special piece of advice and it just stuck until this day. YOU are that person to leave a lasting impact on those with less experience.
So, next time your fresh, clueless pal next door CLEARLY needs guidance, help a sister (or brother) out! Become the legacy by passing along the “wish you would have known sooner” crucial information about the job.
Bonus – your good deed will make you feel good!
