Next time you are expected to do what everyone else does, just do something a little different.

Oh, I guess it’s not so different. Copy Cat! (ha)

One of the first things that really got me jazzed about this book was the idea of a Culture Book. A Culture Book  is a mini book about the culture of your company… after that, you can make whatever else is inside it all unique to your company. I asked each person at Silver Square to submit, individually, what they thought the culture was here. I asked them not to talk about this assignment as I wanted it to come from them specifically. I’m also going to add photos of our get togethers, of our upcoming office move, maybe of some pitches we do, who knows what all we’ll add to this by the time the year is done. I like that it will document, year after year, what we do and how or if our culture shifts. I’m shooting for constant improvement.

So check out the Zappos Culture Book and keep your eyes peeled for a contest we’re launching next week to win your very own copy of Delivering Happiness.

But the actual vision board I feel good about. I was so engaged going through the images on my board that I wasn’t really paying attention to how long I was talking. (My explanation of my vision board is longer than Raquel’s and Angela’s combined.) Recurring themes were meditation and developing an abundance mentality about time and money. Now if you’ll excuse me I need to go practice my mantra about diving into a pool of gold coins for a few hours.

I hope you enjoy our videos and I encourage each of you to create your own vision board and do these together with your team at the office.

I already shared a little bit about what was on my board in my earlier post, but a few things made it on there that are new:  polar bear for more trips to the zoo, some organic wine for me to place in this empty mini wine cellar at my house, a trip to Napa because every wine lover should go there to unwine and take in that amazing bit of country, some very hip shoes for that wardrobe I’ll be working on and some green cleaning products so I don’t feel like I’m placing chemicals directly on my children each time I clean where they eat and play.

So here it is! What is on your vision board?

I hope you enjoy my first video blog… I think I could increase my energy level a bit. ha I will get better at this. I promise…. or if it’s really bad, you can tell me to stop doing them in our comments section.
