10 Feb Propel Your Team Out of the Winter Blues

As the start of the new year has passed, have you begun the struggle of holding onto your New Year’s productivity? Don’t feel bad.

Take a step back and adjust the lens.

Refocus your organization

If you don’t know what is driving you to accomplish certain goals, then how can you expect to stay motivated? They don’t call them the winter blues for nothing. It’s a time of year where everyone becomes distracted and overwhelmed with the excitement of the holidays and everything else going on around them.

They accomplish the incredible with swagger and lack of fear. They exude free will with everything they do. We are drawn to them because many of us would like to be a bit like that ourselves, but we have not got the nerve. Don’t you think it’s about time you did?
