LEARNERS CORNER

As we build a Culture of Greatness, how we each handle stress is vital. At

Mondays PL day, I referenced a book Shifting the Monkey by Todd Whitaker. He
describes the importance of getting the monkey on the back of the person who is
responsible for it. Meaning, dont take on the feelings/stress of a situation when
someone else is responsible for the situation. Attached are the 3 steps he
summarizes as important in every situation. Another attachment is the summary of
the importance of treating everyone well.
