#YourSpecialInvitation

@Poise_gfs: A True Young Executive does not wait for a special invitation to deliver excellence on a particular day or task. Make your name a stamp of quality #DoThingsRight the first time, everytime.


Have you ever found it irritating the way people qualify instructions? For example, “Type out this letter for me. Type it properly oh! No grammatical errors please.” “Fold this wrapper. – Fold it straight oh, not anyhow.” The qualifiers are the special invitations that people have to extend to us to ensure we take something serious, do it right this time, meet the deadline o!, put in our best, I don’t want you to come back to me with excuses o!, make sure you follow due process on this e.t.c
“Type out this letter for me (instruction). Type it properly oh! (Invitation) No grammatical errors please.” (Invitation).
When I was younger my mum would ask us this question which I am about to ask my dear readers today. She would ask us this question whenever we failed to do something right just because we were not told to. Her version would go like this: “Do you need a special invitation to wake up early?” or “Do you need a special invitation to wash your plate after you eat?” and so on. Here is my version.  “Dear Aspiring Young Executive, do you need a special invitation to do things right the first time?” Imagine a world where everyone’s default setting is EXCELLENCE. Imagine a work place where everyone puts in their best at the first attempt, all customer service officers give their best response to every client and where everyone asked to put together an outline for a presentation gives it their best without being given an invitation.
I know that every once in a while we all need special invitations so, Ta Da! Here we go! I have taken the liberty of extending this invitation to all my wonderful readers (including myself). This is your special invitation.






Pin it up on your wall, place it on your desk or in your journal as a reminder to make excellence your default setting, and you will be on the sure path to the top and to success in life and career. Please send me an email to yed@poisenigeria.org and I will be happy to send you the printable version for your use. I have mine as my screen saver too .
