Turning Up The Temperature

Recently, my teenage daughter suggested that the water in shower was not hot enough for her. Recognizing that our household domestic hot water could use a boost, I turned up the temperature settings on the coils in the hot water heater. Problem solved--happy teenager.

As with water temperature, sometimes we want to boost our personal and professional lives. Or, as Emeril Lagasse is fond of saying: "kick it up a notch".

In the case of my teenage daughter she asked me for help in dialing up the water temperature. In our own lives, we can ask for help from our professional coach to challenge us more. If you do not work with a coach, it can be helpful to connect with a colleague in your network or an independent adviser/consultant/counselor to explore ways to turn up the the heat in your life. If you prefer to do this yourself, then go ahead and set a BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal) for inspiration and motivation.

Whether you choose to ask for help, or summon the inner fortitude to dial up your own temperature, adding a little heat every now and then can be satisfying. 

BAM!
