So it's been a few weeks since I brought my Cow Mug to the office. It was a staple at my desk for awhile and then I brought it home because I love it so much. Considering I spend more waking moments at work than at home, I took it back to work today. And to be honest it makes me happy. It's quirky, it's comical, and it's colorful. It holds a lot of tea and it reminds me of who I am. I think of myself as a creative and humorous person with snippets of spunk and insight to share. The Cow Mug helps me find ways to put "myself" into my work (no matter the task). Do you have a "Cow Mug" of your own that helps inspire you to do better work? Maybe you have have an employee or coworker that LOVES fishing - be bold- buy them something that you know will "inspire" them. There are fish shaped staplers and funky picture frames- even one of those goofy singing mounted fish might help someone to stay lighthearted at work and find their inner creativity. That was kind of a strange example- but when you get to know yourself and your employees- you can figure out the things that help you and hopefully your employees put themselves into their work! And that brings out the best work which is what we all want... Go ahead - be a little kooky- have some fun at work if it helps get the job done!
