As we weather through 2008, there is no denying times are tough. My hope is that if you are reading this newsletter, your job is safe. Either way, it is important to remain forward looking and focused on the world you can embrace - particularly, the job and the workplace.

As business professionals in tough times, each of us needs to be expert at what we do. We need to conduct ourselves in a manner consistent with best practices and industry standards, as it is these principles that ensure longevity in business and allow for a good night’s sleep.

We need to focus on the fundamentals that make our contributions beneficial to our firms. We need to project enthusiasm and confidence, not doom and gloom of the sort that sells newspapers, unless of course, you are in the newspaper business.

Each of us needs to be willing to adapt to changes in business consistent with the changing landscape in our businesses. We need to be thinking strategically as to how to add value and adjust accordingly. Fine tuning who we are professionally is critical to continued success in the workplace, and the risk to those who do not adjust could be devastating. Those who do not change will be left behind in the wake of those willing to adapt.

People respond to positive energy. Have something uplifting to say. Share good news. Smile. Laugh. Inspire. Positive energy rebounds and lays the foundation for success. Seek out opportunities: as always, there are many, even when the unexpected happens.

I leave you this month with a thought by management thinker, Warren Bennis, “Managers are people who do things right, leaders are people who do the right thing.”

Be well. Be happy. Stay positive.
