Beating the Odds

How to Make a Great Impression

Sports is like business in so many ways.

That’s why you can impress your coach, your boss — even a teacher — by using the tips in this article, “Five Steps to Get Your CEO to Notice You.”

First on the list is to show commitment.

“Every boss wants people who are willing to put in the extra effort rather than deal with individuals who are looking to do the minimum needed to get by,” says the article by James Caan, CEO of Hamilton Bradshaw Ltd. “Make sure that every task given to you is done on time and to the standards expected and wherever possible beyond.”

To see other ways to impress your coach, check out the article. You’ll find that the same techniques that work in the business world will work everywhere in your life.
