Last week an employee of mine was promoted based on my recommendation. She will do a great job. Her life circumstances paralalled mine to a great extent. She is divorced, had been a business owner and her 50th bday is next month, so no spring chicken and now trying to start a new life. I can totally relate.
This may come as a shock but most management types do not try to help you get promoted, I guess there is some sort of fear there. Therefore, I counseled her not to fall into that trap. I told her to always be looking for the one that can move up to the next level and nurture those that deserve it, just like she was and just like I was.
I think she will do a very good job, both in her new position and in the nurturing of others.
I really like the idea of being helped and then being able to help others, and on and on it goes. It makes the suffering feel like it meant something.
Anyway, that is my feel good thought of the day.

Jobs will come and go, but the push up you give the people that work for you will last a life time. By believing in them and helping them believe in themselves, you truely can change lives. Good job!
