Out of my Element

By the time you read this I will have been home for 10 days.? Before I hit the road again it will be 13 straight days at home.? This is very foreign to me as a career traveler who usually spends every week in a hotel working remotely. Though I enjoy my family very much, sometimes I think they are counting the days until I am back on the road so they can have peace and quiet from "Crazy Dad". When I am home I very much enjoy cooking.? This week we made pies. We have an organic family orchard locally and two weeks ago we picked some of the most amazing Gold Rush Apples.? My parents were in town and overall had a great time together. I have also started a deck expansion in my backyard to accommodate a cooking station for our Pizza oven, bbq, and smoker.? So many projects, so little time.

I watch the financial shows on the television when I work and try to keep up with finance and all things technology and business.? Of course I look for all things DIRECTV as well. I know, change is in the air.? Change is what I have lived with for the last 7 years.? The news?is good one day, and bad the next.

This is why focusing is important.? Focus on the positive change you can make, and don't worry about the things that are out of your control. Trust in your team.? Do your job the best you can, and have faith in your team to do theirs.? I believe DIRECTV is much better situated in the marketplace than any of our DBS competitors.? Good leadership is the principle of our success.

For anyone who knows me knows that I do not coast. There is no cruise control in my workday.? My foot is always on the gas (Ask my boss...LOL). I know I drive my team crazy, and given the amount of work I complete in a week I am sure they wouldn't have it any other way. I realize that I work more hours than I need to. I realize that I just can't turn my brain off sometimes. My boss has been cautioning me about burnout for 3 YEARS! I know it looks like I am sprinting, but this is just the pace I run.?

I am so proud to be a part of the #DIRECTV team.? I am already working on a post about #TEAMBuilding. I am thankful to have been welcomed by the DIRECTV FOR BUSINESS team as a Product Ambassador.??
