As children, those who celebrate Christmas are told to be nice and good and to write to Santa with what they want for Christmas. As adults, I think we could all take our parents' advice and do the same thing when it comes to asking for what we want from our boss, co-workers, friends, or colleagues.
Here is a "letter to Santa" I put out last week on my Facebook page as kind of a joke but half-serious as I want to meet someone this holidays season:
Dear Santa,
I'd like a girlfriend this Christmas who is witty, pretty and single. I've been good this year and haven't asked you for anything for Christmas in 30 years.
Love, Robert
To the point, direct, and a little silly, this email netted many responses and people coming out of the woodwork to assist me in my quest. Perhaps by Christmas "Santa" will bring me what I want!
Think about something you've wanted for work, yourself, or your business. Find a funny way to get it out there, or be direct and ask for what you want. It may work wonders!
