Thoughts and Figures

When in Rome

That is a saying I hear a lot. This mode of thought however requires one to then put aside perceptions and feelings that could help us and allow us to contribute when we are traveling or even cooperating on a business or Kubb level

Recently I was in Oregon and Washington traveling for business.

During this brief excursion I noticed how there are differences and similarities from the two coasts as I am sure there are also some from the Deep South to the Midwest .

What I did notice however is that many

Personalities and ways of behaving or speaking--colloquialisms can be related to driving

Yes as I was driving I realized I was driving as a New Yorker getting where

I have to go. I noticed a car certainly a local, no question an older model car not a young person in the seat just tooting along.

As I can up on them they moved over and allowed me to pass. This was something a good New York driver would do to keep the flow of traffic going.

Well i thought on this more and

More on my 2

Plus hour drive further

North. That person was not so focused on the destination, the rules of the road or getting everyone somewhee ..... They were just being nice!

It reminded me of arriving from my red eye the night previously where everyone was tired we are all

Making

Connections and I get on them plane and it is like a party.....it seems everyone knows each other they are joking around and having a ball .... Pretty cool

Does this mean New Yorkers are not nice? No! That is a perception

But noticing these similarities can certainly help you when you are traveling and when you are in competition

Notice the other teams. Talk to them

Get to know them. Once you do this you

Can have a better understanding of their perspective

......then you can crush them

In a friendly way of course

Do not so as the Romans do

Respect what they do then do what you do

It's getting warmer very soon

Let's get out there and share our perspective
