Are you good to work with?

How often do you ask yourself the question: “Are YOU good to work with?”

Most of us have at some point had an opinion on whether a colleague, client or boss was ‘good to work with.’ We’ve all met people we haven’t enjoyed working with. And most of us have at some point judged someone else to be ‘not good to work with.’ 

But how often do you ask yourself the question… Are YOU good to work with?

Being easy to work with is the single most underrated career skill. And one that you can easily develop and that will give you so much in return. From expanding your network to increasing recommendations to opening doors to new career opportunities. 

 In this article, we are going to help you discover and dial up the qualities that make YOU good to work with. Because your personal profile, your reputation, and the opportunities that then come to you, are absolutely dependent on whether people think you are ‘good to work with.’

“A good reputation is more valuable than money.”

– Publilius Syrus

Do you have CHARM?

Firing up your intention

C.H.A.R.M. By dialling up these 5 qualities using 5 simple tools – you will be someone others seek out and want to work with. All by simply dialling up your C.H.A.R.M. 

The problem with being perceived as someone who is difficult to work with is that over time, it won’t matter how good you are at doing what you do. At some point the headaches you cause others will outweigh the value of any work that you do. And people will stop wanting to work with you. Being good to work with benefits you, your team and your organisation. It helps promote collaboration and creativity. It increases motivation and drive. It helps everyone through the good and the tough times as it increases resilience and ultimate success. Finally, it builds connections and opens doors to more exciting opportunities personally and professionally. In an age of AI and increased technology – being good to work with is one of your most vital assets as a human being. 

The truth is, to change your experience of your life, your job and your relationships there’s only one thing you can change. You. When you start to shift your own choices, attitudes and responses – the most amazing changes happen in your relationships, environment and opportunities. This shift in ‘intention’ is what makes you a 4D human being. And by firing up this 4th ‘intentional’ dimension and CHOSING to be good to work with – your life will become richer, more fulfilled, engaged, exciting and full of possibilities and opportunities you would never have predicted. 

So, time to dial up your CHARM. 

Being good to work with starts and ends with great communication. The more you can dial up and communicate these 5 key qualities – Collaboration, Honesty, Appreciation, Reliability and Motivation – the more people will enjoy working with you and the more productive and creative your worklife will feel.
