Are you and your team proud of where you work?
If you work for a business or organization, I know you want to feel proud of where you work.
I remember working for the Boston Museum of Science years ago, and I have never forgotten the feeling of pride I got EVERY DAY walking through those doors on my way to my office. I know I worked harder and cared more because of it.
Have you thought about the fact that your HISTORY can create that same feeling for you and your team?
I just completed a business history for a client, and my research revealed that their founder was descended from a nobleman in England who played a significant role in the overthrow of the monarchy, from another member of the same family who had a town named after him here in Massachusetts, from still another family member who personified the American success story and who was singularly on the right side during one of this country’s most notorious financial schemes (and earlier version of Bernie Madoff).
I will tell you that the CEO is awfully proud of this legacy, and so is his team. He gave a Powerpoint to tell them the story, and you better believe they are proud of where they work! They have bragging rights all over their community because their story really sets them apart from everyone else in their field.
The same can happen for you! But you need to find out your history.
I wrote this ebook to help you do it. Please take advantage, and make it work for you!
Your friend,
Bonnie
