Tip: Attitude is the latitude. Always try to have a positive attitude at work. You never know who's day you'll make better
Addison Star Is it’s to make somebody’s day; I’m wit it.
I still struggle with this more than I should... though in my case attitude largely stems from recurring frustrations that seem overly difficult to simplify.
Thanks. :)
Attitude is the latitude. Always try to have a positive attitude throughout the days...
You never know who’s day you will make better.
Agree
1.building meaning relationships
2.Writing clear and meaningful emails
3.dressing according to the job u want and not according to job you have
4.challenging on a high level
Taking the responsibility on you.
5.Atitude when you reach out to someone,body language when your speaking , being confident when you talk.
It's also intimidating to your boss who sees you as a threat in line for their position
Yeah you never want to outshine your boss, you want to help your boss shine on their own. I have this ongoing joke with my boss that I bring safety concerns to him so that he can bring them to his boss and show that he's being attentive to safety concerns in the department, which is ironic because it doesn't really happen and it just ends up that my boss has to fix it but it's kind of a funny joke because my boss and I both understand that making a good impression is important but it's also funny because dealing with safety issues can be a pain in the ass sometimes and the fact that I always try to sell it as something wonderful is just like more salt in the wound 🤣😂🤣

"dress for the job you want"
Me: Batman costume
Lmao
You don't want that job. It's too stressful. Plus, you get punched
@@munnypoltric Plus, the loss of parents, too
alright lemme get the nine mil have your parents in an alley for me.
I worked for a third party company for the Walmart distribution center, they did not have a standard uniform so I would dress like batman
This was really great stuff dude.
“Take ownership, that’s how you get noticed.”
wanna a 6th advise? don't use the dude.
My tip for my introverts guys pls don’t be upset about ur fear of speaking. God loves you anyways , you are just beautiful as you are )
Introverts are just really bad at starting conversation. But once you get an introvert on a topic they are interested in and get them comfortable, good luck trying to get them to shut up. lol. But introverts also don't like parties because we get overwhelmed very easily. We take in sensory information quickly and parties have a lot of sounds and smells and then you have to worry about who you were going to talk to and about what. People make us tired. lol.
Thank you.
introverts can be great at a lot of things but if you're in a role where you need to interact with people on a somewhat regular basis you have to realize that you're at a disadvantage if you truly have difficulty interacting with people professionally speaking. it's perfectly fine to prefer to be alone but if you're unable to work in groups and with other people and do quote unquote extroverted things like lead a meeting or have fun at a company event it's going to slow you down professionally.
yeah but people don't 😔 and i need to work
@@suicune2001 spot on! Haha 😆
This is great! Most people only care about promotions and raise in salaries forgetting that company would give value for value. My take away is "Instead of asking when can i get promoted, ask what do I need to do to start contributing at higher level?" :)
Love your tip to build meaningful relationships with your coworkers. It's important to stay connected and positive which will make for a great professional reputation. Having been in business for 20+ years, I've definitely seen both the good and bad examples of this. Cheers!
thanks Adriana!
building meaningful relationships with your co-workers is so key for such a variety of reasons especially for people like myself that tend to overreact and kind of snap it people for stupid reasons, I don't know why but this week I've kind of had a couple little snaps at different people and hopefully and/or fortunately because I've worked on building relationships with them it won't turn into a giant disaster
No offense dude but why is there a one minute commercial for a briefcase in the middle of your video??? if your sponsored by somebody then just say it at the beginning of the end of your video but don't try to weasel it in there all sneaky like
@@Thedistilledman1hey man, what happened to you? hope you are doing good
Thanks for the affirmations I’m jumping into senior position with a baby face so I’m upping my visual aesthetic too ! Lol your b-roll is hilarious and contests with your seriousness lol
Always enjoying your videos! Great suggestions with practical advice and in a down-to-earth way.
- Another suggestion on how to be professional is to limit the amount of empty gossiping. If you get a gossiper reputation, no one will trust you with anything important.
- Never complain to much about how the tasks are too confusing or too complicated or that you're not in the mood to do it. This all spells huge personality problems, especially responsibility wise. Always try to think HOW you can start doing the task and as soon as you start, it's going to get done.
yes, totally agreed! reminds me of something I used to tell my direct reports whne I worked in advertising: if you come to me with a problem, you need to have at least 2-3 potential suggestions for how to address it (along with which one you think is the best, and why).
Man that is so true. I had issues with my colleagues in past, but then I came to realised that I need to change myself and adapt to manage the tasks properly.
Love your videos dud, they are full of content and at the same time make me laugh.
The advice for sending e-mails goes for talking and telling stories. Say what you need to say, maybe use a bit of humor and leave it there. People will ask you questions if they want to hear more, that way you don't monopolize the coffee break conversation.
You have been inspiring me to change the content on my channel. Thanks for the video.I have been listening to your Podcasts as well. Roger
Great point, Roger. Agreed: don't hog the airtime, especially during those precious coffee breaks, as you said. thanks so much for the kind words about the channel! Glad you are enjoying the podcast as well!
yeah my advice about talking about anything other than work at work is don't ever do it unless you have a very very high degree of trust because the people that are asking you questions about what's going on with you are the same ones that want to gossip about what you're doing to everyone else. I have a relatively close circle of friends at work and I have a great deal of respect for them they have some level of respect for me I share with them anecdotal stuff and sometimes I get into it a little bit more, perhaps I share a little bit too much about how I feel about things at work but I do try to limit it and there are certain people I absolutely refuse to talk about because they want nothing more than to just waste my time talking about nothing, there's actually a guy that works relatively close to me on the floor at the building where I work and he basically insists on saying stupid f****** comments to every single person that walks by and he literally if 50 people walk by him everyday he will have 25 conversations with half of them because he just can't f****** resist the urge to try to talk to people that are walking past him and it just absolutely pisses me off because he's not getting paid to have these conversations he's getting paid to do a specific job but apparently everyone that sits at that desk just gets passed by so many people that nobody in management ever cares to say look I know a lot of people walk past you all day but you really need to focus on your work and stop having 5 to 10 minute conversations with people
Yes you are back. You know I really enjoy your videos, you may are not one of the biggest on YT but you do a pretty damn god job and I truly smile when I see your videos. Please upload more, you give me the advises that my parents don't (sometimes).
Aww, thanks so much Francisco. I really appreciate that!

I'm exicited to hear what you have to say,,I heard some qualities you spoke about that I have grown to have, I was raised in a hard core negative environment
And I was a very desperate character just trying to get by in earlier years, but keep my I on objective goals to learn more professionals and have become business savey,and a fair speaker in public settings. I see I have more to go.I have come very far but I will not stop the joy of business success , thank you

Tnks for the tips
Thank you, I think we can shall may ( or any suitable helping verb ) understand the importance of maintaining proper balance at work and personal life ..also to understand the true intention behind each rules and regulation and then to follow them
Excellent advice! Also, iff you're a programmer, consider ready "The Clean Coder: A code of conduct for professional developers." There's no code in the book. I recommend it to every developer I come into contact with. I was able to put what I learned directly into use when a manager asked me how long a certain project would take. "I don't like that answer" was the manager's response to my estimate, right in front of other managers, as if it were my duty to satisfy her! I responded with "development takes x amount of time, unit testing takes y, QA testing takes z. What would you like us to cut out in order to get done sooner?" Manager was stumped, but eventually asked "can't you all just try?" I responded immediately with "that assume the developers aren't trying now." The meeting was able to move on and this manager doesn't try twisting my arm anymore, particularly in front of the business!
Thank you !
Great Value ! Thanks

Most Welcome 🙏
Thanks
Great video like to see the things we do that are not good to look at, like shoving your mouth with peanuts. Blessing
I'm so glad I work somewhere that cares more about the quality of our work than what we look like, but yes most office jobs do care about vanity as far as advancement. I mean I don't go to work looking like a slob I take a shower everyday but there's nothing unprofessional about a working man wearing cargo pants a t-shirt and a flannel shirt and building quality american-made products. Putting a tie on doesn't make an engineer more proficient, although they might appear so. ironically once you get up to the super intelligent mad scientist level you have to dress really terribly because what mad scientist has good taste in fashion? 😂🤣😂🤣
Awesome
Do you have a video about keeping your personal life private at work? That's something I'm looking to work on
that's a real tough one because you want to build some kind of relationship with people which means you need to share about stuff but the same time it's nice to keep most of what's going on in your life to yourself. I mean my co-workers know that I'm working on my house my dating life isn't very exciting I like motorcycles and I enjoy having a beer after work sometimes. Of course there's a lot more to my personal life that they don't know a lot about but I sort of share a little bit about stuff that I don't mind sharing about just so that I have conversation and I keep all the personal s*** to myself in my opinion the stuff that gets annoying is when people kind of ask questions that are really none of their f****** business and they put you on the spot and you're so used to being polite you almost automatically answer even when you really want to say that's none of your f****** business creep why don't you just focus on your work instead of trying to be all up in everyone else's s*** 😂🤣🤣😂
Must be the best video ever!.
Good 👍
Many of these doesnt work in night shift outsourced jobs; ppl gossip and it's a big crowd at work in those big huge floors ...we are not illiterates , but acceptance is usually a very slow process when it comes to CHANGE and NEW. I m frm India and the exposure is very diverse....
That's not always true. Sometimes dong the work attracts competition and the work is redistributed away from you onto someone else and you become responsible for training them to do what you are no longer wanted to do.
This is like dating advice channels but for people who want to be managers at Liberty Tax
1:45 hey thats me
good stuff but that grey dot was distracting me on the left side of your camera and i thought my screen was damaged
Great video post, but sadly it's from about a year ago. I'm Messaging you because we haven't see anything new in more than a year. Just want to check in and see if you and your family are keeping safe and healthy...
I'm looking forward to reading something of a update and looking forward to a brand new video.
Nice
I'd love to see the happy worker individually brushing the zipper teeth
An employer or organization that views your bag as any representation of how much value you can bring to the business is not an employer or org you want to work for.
I’ve worked in corporate America since I was 20 (33 now). Been promoted five times during the time and never cared about what bag I brought in, posture while working or anything. I dressed business casual, talked to EVERYONE and had a good attitude. That trumps all the artificial crap mentioned in this video.
Nobody truly cares about scruff marks on your shoes or your bag if you’re respectful to all, have a good attitude and talk to people (and not negatively). And if the business does care, take your dignity with you and go somewhere else!
Oh yeah, don't forget that patina. And use that word whenever the opportunity presents itself. And learn what it means too.
Hi Kyle,
The video was amazing and it really helped learn a lot. I just want a piece of advise. I always get nervous when my boss asks me a question and I end up beating around the bush in my answer, I just want to over come this and give straight answers to him. Can you suggest me way ? I will be really happy ove come this.
you should realize that your boss is a busy individual and if you give them an honest short answer I guarantee they will respect you more. Bad news isn't fun but bad news that takes three times as long to explain is even worse 🤣🤣
Serious question, not meant as criticism: Youthful hair is great in my opinion, but when it comes time to be gray. Is it better to have a short gray beard or does it look better to be clean shaven?
It's totally subjective. Obviously, you know my opinion about it. And I think I have an idea of yours. :-)
Silver beard is soooo sexy! If this guy was my manager I'd have to quit due to falling for the much older boss!!!!
Whatever make you happy.
Any tips for fresher.
I lost my due to my honesty. Please suggest.
