The Keys to Making Progress with Your Goals - Stop Complaining

The Keys to Making Progress with Your Goals - Stop Complaining

“There are times in life when, instead of complaining, you do something about your complaints.” - Rita Dove -- Learn more about Rita Dove here.  

 

What have you been complaining about lately and, of those complaints, what can you control?

For some, the list is long as we start the new school year with new professors, new classes, and in-person learning. 

Are you complaining about your inability to schedule time with your assigned guidance counselor?

Are you complaining about your tighter schedule as you try to squeeze in a few work hours each week for income to cover the cost of your books and course fees?

Are you complaining about your inability to secure employment after your recent graduation? 

There’s a list and I could go on and on. 

Now let’s shift our energy... 

What can you control? What is within your power to tackle? Grab a sticky note and write one thing you can tackle tomorrow. What one thing can you do tomorrow to ease the weight just a bit? Now post that sticky note on your mirror for reference as you prepare for the day. Major mindset shift!

I’ll go first…

Tomorrow I’m going to meet with my assistant for a 1:1 where the floor will be hers to share her feedback and thoughts on process improvement. 

What’s your one thing?

If you haven't already done so, be sure you check out the podcast and like, share, and subscribe.

Founder & CEO

Meet the brains behind the operation, Kristina Butler, MSHRD, PHR, SHRM-CP! :)

Kristina is the Founder and Creator of The Keys to the Office, LLC and she brings well over a decade of experience in human resources, specifically in the area of early talent and diversity recruiting. She has built successful internship programs and hiring initiatives focused on recent college graduates for major organizations. She has also hired students, grads, and seasoned professionals, and taught hiring managers how to identify and interview top talent. Kristina is passionate about sharing her many years of experience and her passion for changing the landscape of multiple industries and brings all of that enthusiasm to The Keys Family.

In addition to focusing on her career, Kristina is the mother of two daughters and enjoys organizing her home, planning in her digital planner, and supporting small businesses and charities in the Richmond, VA area. She was once (maybe several times...) a confused college student who started as a Social Work major and eventually ended up in a Medical Assisting program. Huh? Fast forward to today and she can transparently say she attended 6 colleges/universities and is committed to helping you gain clarity without the many obstacles and insane student debt she had to deal with. She's a Queens, New Yorker and gives you the real deal straight with no chaser...and a splash of goofy laughter.
