Whatever it is, You’ve got this!

Making Flex Work is about the ability to be the places you want while still delivering what is expected of you. It is about understanding your priorities and using that information to make the best choices for you and your organizations. It is about doing the right work from the right place at the right time.

And sometimes it is about working all day and then taking a 8-hour Friday night road trip with your teenager to follow his passions. That’s what it was for me last weekend. Last weekend, I had the chance to take my son to Orlando to play in a tournament with his water polo team.

They are big fish in their little Atlanta pond, but they were outmatched in the central Florida region (in size, skill and pure numbers). What I loved is how each of them embraced the learning opportunity, played to their best individual abilities, and showed great sportsmanship even when it would have been easy to give up.

I often post about the things we could learn from youth sports, and today is no different.

Maybe you are in a role that is pushing you harder than you want.

Maybe you are being asked to deliver more than you think you al should be asked to do.

Maybe you are in a culture that is testing the limits of your “sportsmanship.”

Maybe you are looking for a change.

Maybe this post can be your inspiration to keep working hard and to be the best you in your current situation.

Whatever it is, you’ve got this!
