How to succeed in the workplace - A Dog's Perspective

In my lifetime, ACCICB and I have two dogs together. Both of them are different and yet the same and have taught us invaluable lessons in life.

Our current dog is what I term a social butterfly and can successfully convert any dog to become his friend given 3 to 5 meetings. I think if we can follow the 5 steps below, maybe we can win friends and allies and are a step closer to finding success in the workplace.

1. Be ultra confident of yourself which will this lead you to become super sociable

2. Greet everybody with much genuine enthusiasm and happiness with a wide smile on your face

3. Even when people ignore you or give you snide remarks when you start talking to them, just retreat and give them space. Try again with Step 2 the next time you meet the same people who couldn't care less about you. 

4. Make sure you give loads of personal attention to everybody you see regardless of whether they dislike you or not. 

5. With sufficient meetings, you will have successfully converted everybody, even those in Step 3 to your friend at work.

Try out these 5 steps at work and let me know whether it works or not!
