 Happy November!!
Since I last wrote you, The Boston Red Sox completed a sweep in the World Series – after being down in the American League Playoffs to the Cleveland Indians 3-1, which means they won 7 games in a row. Prior to the World Series, the Colorado Rockies, the Red Sox’ opponent, had won an unprecedented 21 of the previous 22 games.
Why do I share this with you? Because both of these teams experienced significant momentum, and while most of us aren’t directly involved in sports at this level, the concept of momentum is important to us. In my work last week with Great Lakes Energy, this question was asked in a variety of ways: “How do we keep it going; how do we maintain our momentum?”
Typically when a topic shows up for me in more than one way, it’s a sign I should write about it – which is exactly what I’ve done. I hope you enjoy this week’s article.
Make sure to take a second to review the items in the right hand column today. I’ve been busy doing interviews and there are opportunities to hear some great stuff!
Make it a great week, enjoy this issue and remember always that You are Remarkable.
Maintaining and Building Momentum
You know what momentum is.
You’ve felt it before.
It’s that feeling that things are heading in the right direction; that things are going well; the future looks bright. It is like the snowball rolling downhill – as its gaining speed – it appears that the power of its momentum could make a huge difference at the bottom of the hill.
Maybe you’ve been on a project team that was making great progress and as things moved forward it seemed as if there were no obstacles, or any obstacles just became less of an impediment. Maybe you’ve experienced an organizational change or initiative that seemed to be hitting a stride and was progressing well. Or maybe you can think of a time when things for you personally or professionally just seemed to be going exceptionally well.
In all of these cases you are experiencing positive momentum. And in every case, I’m guessing you not only liked what you were experiencing, but you’d like it to continue!

Potential Pointer: While you may not be able to see momentum, you can certainly feel it. Once you recognize its presence, you can actively work to extend the positive momentum – creating tremendous opportunities for enhanced energy, greater job satisfaction for yourself and others and, in the end, increased results!
eWorkbooks from Training-Modules.com
 A Workshop in a File
Susan Otto, owner of Training-Modules.com and a close colleague of mine, has created a new series of products. She calls them eWorkbooks, and they are based on her extremely interactive and valuable workshop modules.
Susan has taken her expertise as a designer of interactive and fun training modules, culled the most critical knowledge and skill elements from some of those modules and placed them in highly usable PDF files.
I reviewed one called Giving and Receiving Feedback. With an individual, self-paced approach it provides examples of different types of types of feedback and gives the reader a chance to participate by thinking through how they would give feedback in a variety of scenarios. It closes with a very strong action planning component – which is critical to you transferring the lessons into practice on the job.
While I have reviewed only one of these eWorkbooks, there are many others available, and I’m told more to come.
Since they are all based on Susan’s outstanding training designs (the training modules also are available for purchase and use in your organization), I can recommend them all highly. These innovative eWorkbooks can be used by you personally or purchased for broader use in your organization.
I recommend both these tools and Susan’s services most highly.
You can get more information, a complimentary sample, and order the eWorkbooks at Training-Modules.com. Get more information on the training modules that these eWorkbooks are based on. |
