Twitter Friend Challenge-September 28th, 2008

This afternoon, I received a 'twitter' from one of my Twitter friends, whom I value as one of my FableVision Ambassador friends. He is such a creative being, and I can only imagine what his classroom must look like. Apparently today, he was in need of what a co-worker means, so he could blog about it. I sat and wrote a few of the things that I consider from co-workers that I enjoy spending my days with.

Here are a few of my entries to him....

A co-worker should be someone who:

-you can trust
-you can rely upon at any given moment for honestly, acceptance, and support
-inspires your outside and inner spirits
-thinks like you occasionally, but differently on most occasions
-loves growing right along with you
-encourages you, even when creative wheels aren't spinning
-believes in who you are, and what you are made of
-loves finding ways to inspire you to become better--as a professional AND as a person
-excites you to make necessary changes after conversations or meetings you've shared
-learns from you and becomes better
-supports your decisions, but gives you new things to consider
-takes risks with you
-celebrates with you when things go well, and has a shoulder to lean on when they don't
-cares about your personal and professional development
-is friendly
-is constantly moving forward in thought, word, and creative spirit, and wants you right along side

-is humorous--makes you laugh when your not so funny bone is hurting (or your heart)
-makes you want to be more than you think you are capable of


I have been blessed with co-workers who possess many, and often all of these characteristics. I have been so very blessed throughout my life--both personally and professionally.

Add to my list and let me know what YOU consider to be characteristics of a great co-worker.

Go on and find the person above who will challenge you to be better tomorrow than you were today.
