In my 19th year in business (I’m not that old, really), I realize even more, that as I’ve grown in this great big world of ours, with clients around the globe, that the world actually gets smaller and smaller every day.
We all connect and collide with each other in so many different ways and places and I continue to believe that if good people, doing good things stick together that good will result! So, I thank you for being “here” for me. Your enthusiasm and support has kept me busy and you’re the reason that I remain passionate about all that I do, and that I am inspired to do more.
In honour of you, I Pledge to C. It’s all in a little vision, right?
MY PLEDGE TO C:
Commit
I will continue to commit myself to being a champion for change and your biggest champion too.
Care
I will continue to care about you and your business as if it were my own, because we’re all in this together.
Communicate
I will continue to communicate candidly (read: no bullshit). I pledge to always tell people what I believe they should hear rather than what they want to hear.
Capacity
I will continue to try and expand my capacity for tolerance and patience, and expand my capacity for new information to be able to give you more.
Community
I will continue to build my own community and to enrich the community at large. I will continue to support you in growing your own community.
Connect
I will continue to connect you with others who can support you and who you can support, bringing about mutually beneficial relationships.
Charity
I will continue to donate much of my time to doing pro-bono work, because passion-based, meaningful, charitable work makes me happy.
Clarity
I will continue to confuse you, but only in order to bring about clarity.
Change
I will continue to change myself, and will also continue to promote change in your life and work.
Coach, Consult, Concierge
I will continue to work to offer the best “Triple C Service” to you. I will continue to ensure that the strategic blend of all of these roles working together for you, increases your efficiencies, revenue, health and happiness. And we all want more of that, right?
Common Sense
I will continue to believe that we all just need to use our own common sense to make our own best choices.
Calm
I will continue to try and be calm, although I am much more suited to being outraged. : )
Create
I will continue to find a way to create even more titles, relationships and positions to add to my list.
Choices
I will continue to applaud your choices, and I will continue to offer you choices based on what is right for you.
Champion
I will continue to try and be your biggest champion. It’s so much fun. Thank you for the opportunity.
Life is about hanging on, letting go, holding back, giving it all, staying put and making change. So, here’s to a healthy, happy new day (and many more) – full of the good fortune of being able to make our own best choices, and full of relationships that bring about change for us all. Positive Change. The Big C.
