a good diffuser

i enjoy the moments that i get to see what i'm made of.

confrontational moments.
when they bring about the best.
when there is a resolution.
when the problem at hand is revealed and dealt with.

when a situation that could blow up is diffused.

i got to be a good diffuser today. i was proud of myself. calling things out for what they are. standing up for myself and my company knowing that we watch out for our customers and do everything in our power to amplify the hard work they do and help them look that much better.

i was thrown under the bus a bit today... but was glad to wear the skid marks because of the end result.

in relationships it's all about team work. putting the other person in front of yourself. whether it's in family relationships. romantic relationships or business relationships. if we are ALL always watching out for the people around us then we will ALL be taken care of.

the thing is ... that's not how most people think. so when you have that attitude as a person or as a company you're left holding what others give you - which isn't always pretty. but it's OUR JOB to do what we can to turn it into something good and beautiful.

i really enjoy days like today when i get to see... in tough situations what i'm made of.

is the goal TRULY to love in all situations and draw out the best in people?? TODAY it was!
