How to work with someone you don't like (with BACON)

“BACON BITS” is all about helping you find your paths of Happiness! With almost 8 billion people in the world, we’re not going to get along with all of them. But it’s still worth a try! B - BOUNDARIES AND BODY LANGUAGE – Don’t put up with a negative attitude or unfair treatment. Communicate and establish boundaries. Keep it professional. Watch your body language so as not to antagonize the situation. A - AVOID THEM WHEN POSSIBLE– Capitalize on opportunities to be away from them. Breaks, lunch, projects with other employees. Remind yourself that the time that you interact with them is limited. C - CONTROL THE CONNECTION – Remember, you cannot control their actions or emotions. You can only control your actions or emotions. Don’t allow them to ruin your day and definitely don’t take that feeling home with you. O - OFFER A SMILE – Try to be civil. You don’t have to be best friends; you don’t even have to be friend-friends. Leave it at acquaintances for now. But leave the door open, a friendship may blossom once a connection is made. N - NOW GET ON WITH YOUR WORK – Remember the reason that you are there. It’s not to make lifelong friends (that’s a bonus). If your attempt to be friends fails, make it clear that you are there to do a job and do it. You probably already have friends at home. It's called work for a reason, if it was all fun and games, it would be called, "going to play!" Stick with it, if you tried everything and still don't get along you can sleep well knowing that you ut in the effort. www.MasterHappiness.com #SalesCoach #PublicSpeaking #Keynote #Career #Relationships #MasterHappiness #Jalove #Bacon #WRLR #BaconBits #WhatsYourBacon #MartyJalove
