Let's Brag About Our Business

Hi there!

Christopher Peck here with Speak Into Action Communications.

Andy Warhol once said, "Why do people think artists are special? It's just another job."

I have to say I am simultaneously annoyed and inspired by this quote because, on the one hand, artists are special Andy Warhol; sculptors, photographers, actors, directors, drummers, cellists are all pretty darn special. On the other hand, it is a strong reminder the skills we often see as unattainable or special in people are how others see our skills.

And I don't think we spend enough time patting ourselves on the back for demonstrating the patience and commitment to mastering a craft.

So what's your specialty? If you read this post, take a second and comment one thing you do really well  and also one thing you can't do but admire that others can. Let's share some special skills as we start 2021 and be proud of the skills we have cultivated in our businesses and in our lives.

I'll go first.

I help businesses perform better by building teams of better performers--and I do mean in the literal "performative" sense. Because that is what your business is, the performance of your life.

You know what I can't do?

Change my own oil.

Administer acupuncture.

Build a jacket.

Make wine.

But there are people who can do these things and that is special.

So again, share in the comments something you do well and something you can't do. Let's start 2021 with a little bit of bragging.

Thanks for reading, this is Christopher Peck with Speak Into Action Communications--helping your business perform better by training better performers.
