MORALE BOOSTER OF THE WEEK
Making Brainstorming Fun
-------------------------------------------------------
When
brainstorming for ideas, have employees write their ideas
on a blank paper and make paper airplanes out of them.
Everyone then flies their planes.
Everyone then
picks up a different plane. Employees take turns
announcing the ideas they discover in these paper
airplanes.
As the ideas
are announced, have someone list the ideas on a chart.
When people
don't have to read their own ideas, they are more
comfortable coming out with creative thoughts.
This is a
great activity for men because they will love making the
paper airplanes and showing off their skills to the
female employees.
Having fun
will help spark creativity and you will also create an
atmosphere of acceptance, where innovative ideas will
flourish.

CREATING CONFIDENCE
Stop Comparing Yourself to Others
-------------------------------------------------------
By Harriet
Meyerson
Comparing
yourself to others lowers your self esteem because you
think in terms of "being less than" or
"being better than". The truth is that you can
never accurately compare yourself to another since people
differ in their abilities, their beliefs, and their
experiences. The only valid comparison is to compare
yourself now to where you used to be.
HOW
TO CREATE A PERSONAL PROGRESS NOTEBOOK
Divide your
life into the following categories- add more if you like:
Personal
Family
Social
Work/Career
Financial
Community
Spiritual
Put the title
of each category on a separate sheet of paper.
Draw a line
down the center of the paper.
At the top of
the left column write the words LAST YEAR. In the LAST
YEAR column write where you were in beliefs and actions
last year in this category.
At the top of
the right column write the words THIS YEAR. In the THIS
YEAR column write the progress you have made in beliefs
and actions in this category.
CELEBRATE
YOUR PROGRESS
When you
compare yourself today to where you were yesterday, you
can see your progress in each category of your life. Do
something you enjoy to celebrate your progress.
