hotel room and you hear a marching band?

Yea, me neither...EXCEPT

While in Athens I heard the brass of a marching band.

Curious, I step out onto the patio on a bright sunny morning.

Down below is a marching band!

I grab my smartphone and press record.

I know the parade was not for me and yet it was.

For those 45 seconds I was the receiver of talents of all those band members.

The trumpets, the tubas, the piccolos.

Gratitude!

Thank you for the little things that have never happened before.

If noticed and appreciated, they make my day!

My boss and I were sitting in the client cafeteria.  Lunch long over, we chose a private table near the big windows.  We had just finished a great workshop with a potential client.  Spirits were high.

In consulting, we rarely got 1:1 face-to-face time with our bosses.  Especially at the partner level.  So this was a great opportunity to have a career conversation.

I considered how to ask it.  At some point, you’ve probably labored over this same question.  

“What do I need to do to get promoted to the next level?”

As he leaned back, I imagined all sorts of responses:

•  Double your sales
•  Build more offers
•  Expand your team
•  Speak at more conferences
•  Develop relationships with more senior clients

But his answer took me aback.

“I don’t think you have what it takes.  You need Sharp Elbows”

What does that mean?
