Reach out at work during tough times

Whether or not there is a recession officially declared by economic pundits, the truth is that many workers today believe that we’re in such tough economic times that they fear for the stability of their jobs. With that mentality, it’s no wonder that many have dived into a career foxhole, hoping the worst of the damage will go over them as they hunker down and just try to survive.

But that may not be the smartest strategy in the long run, says a former street performer. Carr Hagerman, also known as the ”Rat Catcher” in his performance days, now spends much of his time advising employers and employees at his Top Performer Academy on how the ability to ”step out and connect with an audience” is an important tool in being not only happier at work today, but also more successful in the long run. (To join the discussion on career success, check out the blog at http://www.anitabruzzese.com).

”The thing about top street performers – the ones who are successful for long periods of time – is that they are strikingly original,” Hagerman says. ”And they have only learned this through working in front of other people.”
