Clayton Wed, 10 Sep 2008 00:34:40 +0000 http://darrenhardy.success.com/?p=134#comment-200 Steve McCullough reading your comments is like looking into a mirror. I am in the same boat, but I refuse to give up. You will always have obstacles and adversaries. This is what I choose to do each day when I go into the office and hopefully it will help: One - I choose to stay positive no matter what by encouraging myself through books, this magazine, the CDs, and having friends who know who I am. Two - Keep my focus. I do my best to never forget that I am in my current position to gain experience and learn as much as I can so I can go to the next level as fast as I can. Every couple of months I weigh my experience against my work environment to make sure the experience I’m gaining outweighs the adversity I am experiencing. If it does I keep going, but if it ever gets to a point where it consistently does not. Then I am looking for a new position that will continue to give me my experience. Three – I review my goals I want to accomplish daily in order to not loose track or get distracted from drama within the office. It changes my perspective and re-focuses me every time. Four – I choose to believe that I am not a victim and I tell myself that I am not only going to survive but I am going to thrive in this work environment and with my co-workers no matter what. I see it as an opportunity to be observant and master how to work with difficult people. I have probably had more failures than success this past year in my interactions with them, but I have gained a lot of knowledge on how to deal in similar circumstances which is very valuable and something that can not be taken away. I truly believe this experience is preparing me for something greater….. It’s hard. Stay strong and stay focused. Good luck! Steve McCullough reading your comments is like looking into a mirror.

It is still ongoing ;-) and one lesson I learnt is that if you do not reinvent yourself, then you will be drifting along. Great article !

(Now I have to find another Hobby) I went from uniforms at work, and bluejeans on my off days, to suits, sport coats, Chamber of commerce events, and am still in the process of evolving as a business man. Reinventing yourself is not impossible, and I'm a work in progress. Thanks.

My method thus far has been to work hard and try to ignore them but they still go to my superiors with false information, gossip about me yet still smile in my face, and do not include me in some of the office activities. I am not good at office politics and is in need of your advice. It gets discouraging at times to have to constantly "fight" each day just to do the best job I know how to do. Even being nice and approachable has not helped. How am I to handle my critics without seeming like a victom?
