Maximize Your F-A-C-E(sm) Time to Create a Winning Workplace During Challenging Times - Click To Read Article
As a physician who has treated thousands of patients with acute and chronic pain, I have found that those who successfully live with chronic pain maintain a positive attitude, and focus on setting realistic goals. The importance of maintaining focus in the workplace has been made clear time and time again in my many years of employment. Years ago, I met a man who we'll call "Pete". He apparently lost focus on his job, resulting in a great financial loss at his place of employment. This was a major setback and created discord and distress in his company as other employees feared that Pete had put their jobs in jeopardy. From that experience, I created the FACE success system as a tool to enhance productivity and customer service in the workplace. The four keys of the FACE system: (1)Focus (2)Attitude (3)Commitment and (4)Enthusiasm.
