Ostrich Or Nostrich?

Here's looking at you kid!

Here's looking at you kid!

Thank you to everyone who’s watched the YouTube video about How To Keep Your Job. It was fun a thing to do and I have some more to release over the next few weeks. It’s a good way to get people interested in the book too, as we can all benefit from brushing up our skills.

In my support of professional types making their way through their Modern Career I’m always struck by just how much people trust to luck. Some of the biggest grumblers I’ve met are the ones who do the least to be proactive and take no steps to reduce the pressure they’re under or improve their productivity.

They prefer to keep their head in the sand – just like an ostrich.

The others keep their head up and make changes to improve life. They’re a no-strich..!!

So, what are you…

Ostrich or Nostrich?

And what are you doing this week to improve your productivity?

There are loads of hints and tips in the book, so no need to trust to luck.
