Rounding a bend, the path began to lean upward.
Within minutes the fork in the road became visible.

We talked about how Tanya is planning her sons first birthday party. Doing all of this she realized how everyone has an opinion about how best to celebrate this day. She opted to take the high road by realizing that you can not please everyone but you can listen to what they have to say.
Speaking about taking the high road, we had some discussion about road rage. How drivers seem to be even more aggressively than ever. We talked about how in Florida there are a lot of "elderly" drivers down there that tend to drive slow and how it can be a big source of drivers falling off the path.
To close the meeting we talked about who in our organization can take the high road. We discussed and gave examples of how Ricky, Sylvie, and Laura are great leaders in this.

There will be times when we take the low road instead of the high road. The benefit is recognizing when that has happened, take a step back, apologize when needed and rebuild those relationships to achieve results. When we witness someone else taking the low road, or are the recipient of such, we can in turn take the high road, "be the bigger person", and not be drug down by it. I love the commercials (don't even know what the product is) where one person's good deed causes the next person's good deed, and so on and so forth. It eventually comes back full circle. Magic Moments and the Awareness Muscle are closely tied to the High Road. You need to have those "moments" and flex that "muscle" to help you take that "high road".

One member is currently working with the plants on a new purchasing model
She has been faced with a lot of resistance with no respect or regard for the process change.
She has been able to continue on the high road to make things happen
As a department thank you for hitting the numbers, our group went to a glass blowing gallery.
We have the chance to make glass blown creations of all kinds......mine was a glass slipper.
It was a great gesture on behalf of O-I to do this for us.................thank you very much.
I had one vendor, whom we no longer deal with screaming at me, claiming we still owed him money. It took 3 phones calls to identify where and how the error happen, at which time it was figured it out. Vendor never even said thank you for your help, but I made sure I expressed the holiday season was upon us and that I hoped he and his family would have a great time......deep breathe

Our discussion talking about being Ethical was focused around payment terms.
How might we focus more on the magic moment and capture what our children are doing right as opposed to punishing the behavior when we respond they are doing something wrong. That is something we need to work with. This also extends to Grandchildren. Need to keep the positive reinforcement with our children. Need to explain that the behavior is not acceptable and what they can do other than hitting/slapping/pinching others. Offer solutions to teach how they can deal with their emotions at such a young age.
