Just Shake and Make Up Already, Will Ya?

We all have that one person at work who we do NOT get along with.  We clashed in the past over a disagreement.  That person threw us under the bus in a meeting or in front of our boss.  That person didn’t play fair or completely disrespected us.  We hung on and never forgot it for a week, a month, or maybe YEARS

Guess what?  Time to let it go!

Why am I posting about this?  I was in a 2 week-long “tiff” with a dude at work.  He sent me a rude and uncalled for email and I decided at that moment I wasn’t going to work with that individual any longer.  After 2 weeks of avoiding my coworker, he called me and apologized.  Not only that, he provided new background information which made his email more understandable.  I learned a lot about what he needs to work with me successfully and I voiced the same.  After getting through a little drama, we are going to make an awesome team!

Are you holding a grudge with someone at work?  Are you ready to release the negative energy that is not serving you and make a productive move to let go?  Tell me about a time you confronted a peer and it returned positive results.

No enemies, man!  Especially at work.  Nothing feels better than “being the bigger person” and facing the issue head on.  I challenge you to make amends with one person this week.
