my message to new cleaner of KDS Group tonight

"The key to your happiness and contentment lies within you, within your own heart and mind. The way you start each day is very important; you can start off on the right foot or the wrong one. You can wake up with a song of joy and gratitude in your heart for the new day, for being alive, for the very wonder of living, and for being in tune and harmony with the rhythm of all life. You can expect the very best from the coming day and therefore draw it to you. Or you can start the day with a chip on your shoulder, disgruntled and out of rhythm. You are responsible for what today will bring, and knowing it gives you an even greater responsibility than those souls who are not aware of it and therefore know no better. You cannot blame your state of mind on anyone else. It all rests with you." 

My second message is to get you to understand you are a key player within KDS STAFF working in a positive state, as when you leave at night and everything is in place, and smell within office area is immaculate you are then creating a world for my people to come in and deliver and work at a dynamic pace.

So please never look at yourself as just the cleaner you are more than that, much more, your email address has been set up, I would ask you to look at this before each shift, however you can pick up from home computer.

If you are interested in any learning’s or self development, let me know and we will focus in that area to enhance your knowledge. You will receive your induction pack which Christine will go through with you, we need to inform you of what we want from you, so in return you have tell us what we have to do to improve what we do, you are part of company structure in the circle not and normal company graph, and in that graph you stand beside me, as your key to creating the state for my people when they come to workplace.

Welcome Anne, you are part of the KDS family now, everyone will greet you with a shake of your hand, you may find it strange but you will get use to it, I know will be feeling good as you will be smiling because I seen you had a welcome message on the plasma stating pleased welcome Anne our new part of the team.

Looking forward to putting my mind spa on in the morning and breathing in the clean air

Best Regards

A letter to my 18 year old self!

A letter to my 18 year old self!

So I am officially closer to 35 than I am to 30 and like everyone else I have made mistakes along the way and learned 1 or 2 things the hard way (possibly slightly more than one or two if I am being totally honest!) Yet from each of those mistakes I have learned great things and in all honesty I am not sure that I would have changed them. I was reading an article this weekend about advice you would give yourself at 18 and it got me thinking, what advice would you give your 18 year old self? And how different is it to advice you would give your present day self?...

Dear Me at 18

1. Don’t take yourself so seriously – If you can laugh at yourself that’s half the battle of dealing with situations you get yourself into. (and there are many of those situations coming up!!)

2. How to control the impulse spending – Thinking it through and separating my needs from my wants would have been a useful tool 15 years ago!

3. All the things that you are doing that seem hard – they will be of use. All those deadlines you met, the stress you worked under, the exhaustion you suffered, the difficulties you overcame all gave you the skills and habits you need to function today!

4. Which leads me nicely on to All the things that are stressing you out now, in 5 years won’t matter – perspective is a great thing to learn!!

5. You're optimistic, confident, loving, passionate and hopeful at 18. Please try to stay that way. When you lose them it is a long road to get them back, don’t allow other people to knock them out of you!

6. Get an early start – Don’t waste time lying in bed, you do enough of that when you are ill, make the most of every single day!!

7. Keep learning – from every experience that you have learn something, if you have an interest in something go and learn about it. Keeping growing as person will help you to solve the challenges you face in life!

8. Stop trying to please everybody, trying to be all things to all people. Right now you have everything it takes to trust your instincts, and your instincts are good ones.

9. Everything that happens in the next 15 years will shape you, mould you, break you and strengthen you in ways that reading about them never will! An ounce of experience is worth a pound of words as they say! You have more potential in you than you can ever imagine – use it!

10. All the mistakes you are going to make along the way (despite the last nine points, well I know you are going to ignore them!) are all worth it! You love where you are now – the laughs, heartbreaks, stress, success, hard work, depression, hangovers, dramas, dilemmas, smiles – all worth it!!

Love K

I have a addition to KDS world next week but I want to discuss the most important person " The Cleaner of KDS Group"

Her name is Anne, and Anne will commence her duties on Monday evening at 5:30pm, but Anne will be in for a shock as when Anne comes on shift at KDS she will be met with something she has never witnessed before, along with Annes pack she will receive a golden carrot, the KDS email address

She will then receive an influx of e mails from everyone welcoming her to the team. I will then put Anne in the circle organisation chart and she will stand beside me, " WHY" I hear you say as Anne is the most important person, as we as staff walk into a zone area that smells nice, looks nice and where everything is in its place it then immidiatley puts me and all the rest of my staff in a positive state

Anne will receive news alerts, motivation alerts through text, email etc. Anne will learn as she cleans, Anne will receive praise from everyone at different intervals about what impact her job has to rest of team

 

As Anne walks into working enviroment this monday she will notice her name of plasma welcioming her to KDS Group, as she looks down from screen she will see awards along with me standing next to Muhammod Ali in a photograph and she will then realsie this place is a special place.

As she receives the handshae from everyone who crosses her path this will make her feel special, and then after a couple of days and weeks we will sit Anne down and ask, what do we need to improve on Anne,m what more could we do for you, but more importantly Anne welcome to my team as you are most important cog in my wheel

Glad you accepted the job, now let a fruitful learning journey commence

you will receive a bracelet after a month, which is a believe bracelet so thats your first goal Anne

Everybody welcome Anne please

Box of Chocolates

 “My mama always said ‘life was like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get.’”
Forrest Gump

Tom Hanks playing the character of Forrest Gump made this line one of the most memorable in it modern cinematic history.
Are our lives that unpredictable? Was this from a time before chocolate makers included a menu to help you distinguish (and if so why do we always mistake the toffee or hard centred one for a soft centre, or vice versa!!??)
If life is really like a box of chocolates, why not choose the box which you know you’re going to like? Why leave it entirely to chance?
This weekend, if your life were like a box of chocolates, why not choose to pick your favourite box where every option you have is better than the one before, where every option on the menu is something you LOVE doing, ENJOY living, TASTES great and isn’t subject to pure chance. Life doesn’t have to be an unknown like Forrest’s analogy, choose to go for the chocolates you like and know you’ll enjoy – choose to go places you love, be with people who support you positively, and do the things that will enhance your life and make you smile. That box of chocolates you choose is up to you.

Graduates from universities

Graduates from unversitites

I carried out a talk last year to a university and found that students who only had six months to go until receiving degree had not planned future. This astounded me when I pointed out that the 6 months left actually represented 223 hours of class time left befor let out to the big bad world.

I seen a way of improving system and todat e mailed and contacted certain people to pilot a programme that does not exist, to refocus stiudents and motivate students to plan more effectivley.

I have spoken to two graduates today on the phone and want nothing more to assist where we can but we cannot do it for them,

So is it the system, the education system, Please do not look at me as I never went to university, I would be intyerested in peoples opinion as its an area that I will explore and assist with new programmes.

I have enough life experience in being round graduates for last 20 years and being around universities, so whats wrong with motivation within students not looking beyond degree.

I am getting statistics for people who leave education and have no employment after degree educated thats the starting point for me

give me your thoughts
