From “Ouch” to “Wow!”

Child crying symbolizes feeling "ouch" in the workplace, from innovation consultant in Seattle, WA

We all want to avoid the ‘ouch’ (pic: Greta Hoffman for Pexels)

Picture this:

You’ve gathered your team together. You’re steeling yourself to say “If we don’t turn things around in the next 12 months, (choose all that apply)…

  •      Our budget could be cut

  •      We won’t be able to help as many people

  •      We could lose our place in the industry rankings

  •      We’ll have to cut some of the exciting projects that we’ve only just started working on

  •      You could lose your job

  •      I could lose my job”

Ouch.

What if, instead, you were able to say:

  •      Leadership has noticed what we’re doing and holding us up as a positive example to other teams

  •      We’ve received an industry award

  •      It’s official: we’ve fixed this [xyz] problem that’s been plaguing us for ages

  •      In the past year, there’s been a significant increase in revenue and/or the number of people we’ve helped

  •      We’re going to celebrate our accomplishments with a fun day out

At The Potential Center, we’re here for you if you want to:

  •      Serve your team well as a leader

  •      Reach for something more/better

  •      Be excited about the future

  •      Solve work issues as if they were puzzles

  •      Think different and try new things

  •      Have fun and see your team have fun

  •      Shake things up

  •      Be confident about finding effective solutions

I’m happy to help you find the path through - let’s figure out what that might look like.
