What do these two adorable dogs have in common with many Enablement teams?

👉 They will run around non-stop trying to make everyone happy, forgetting to eat or sleep until they are too exhausted to go further.

My Enablement friends and teammates, please consider the following:

💡 Put yourself on your priority list with mental and health breaks. You deserve it.

💡 Focus on business impact. Are you clear WHY you are doing a certain activity and HOW it will help your business? If not, don't do it until you are clear.

💡 Celebrate every win to spotlight your team's efforts, to reinforce how you are helping the business (but don't be a putz about it).

You have a finite amount of time each fiscal year to help your business.

You need to split that time between strategic, tactical, and unplanned activities in the right mix to achieve your business goals.

And your leadership team and peers need to understand how what you are doing is leading to those business outcomes.

While those little puppies, Blue and Lyla, are adorable, you want to be seen as strategic and impactful. If you're not, the business may see you as no more helpful to the bottom line than these two adorable pooches.
