Edition 405 Monday 13/11/17
Hi,thanks to all you ear specialists out there for the ear
full of thoughts and your many additional favourite remedies provided after last
weeks moan!!I managed to resist the temptation to spend a small fortune on
additional potions and reverted instead to a specialist used in the past.She scolded
me for being so silly and prescribed some stuff that fixed me up in a couple of
days,moral of the story ‘stay with what you know bro’!
Fletcher
reckons the fact that he spends more time falling off his bike than
actually on it is all part of the learning process!School,sports day,swimming
lessons,nippers and bike riding all providing ample reason why having enough
energy and staying onboard are often a bridge too far….a little more compassion
from the head Coach at 48 would be good too!
Something
funny happened when I lost my credit card whilst out bike riding
with Fletcher (in my pocket with phone to buy a surprise icecream enroute!). After
retracing our trail and having no luck I was about to leave the carpark and
noticed the sun glinting off something on the ground which unbelieveably turned
out to be my card?!Lotto ticket here I come!
We shared a cool time with Mum and Dad on the 11th
minute of the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th
month celebrating/commemorating the Armistice Day ceasefire ending WW1.
Dad is a Korean war veteran and we were particularly honoured
and proud to be invited and able to join him and fellow veterans at a moving
ceremony on Saturday 11/11/17.
I got the distinct feeling that these guys would probably put
their hands up again given half the chance!! Well done Jimmy Jones you are and
will always be my hero.(see pic).
I hope you have someone that motivates and inspires you too…..Cheers
Jonesey.

Do you remember you first day at School?
Chances are you probably don’t but if you do it will be
because you had someone who made a good job of looking after you and showing
you around.
You possibly remember it for other reasons because it
was maybe traumatic and scary!
Inducting new staff members is no different and can
make a huge difference to a newbie!
I was reminded of this last week being responsible for employing
and inducting a new member to our team.
Typically I havent done a great job in the past and
have relied on others or even the new person to take the initiative which is
selfish and unfair!
This time I am pleased to say I have made an effort to
develop a plan that provides a comprehensive introduction to our company and
the new role.
The key to this has been me committing personally to
making time to ensure this happened!
When you think about it, changing
jobs/industries/professions is one of those ‘moments of truth’ we hope we don’t
have to face too often in life.
There will be elements of doubt that they have done the
right thing and possibly some anxiety about the new role and company.
It is therefore important to allay any fears and dispel
any anxiety from day one.
That is the vital role of the person/persons
responsible for looking after the new employee!
So just like our first day at school sets us up for our
entire school life our first day at work sets us up for a happy and successful
career so it is important we all play our part!!

is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”.
