Most of us make resolutions as the old year ends and the New Year begins. Although most of us have the best of intentions, our follow through is usually lacking. How many of you resolved to get organized only to have your new clothes that you got for Christmas sit in the bottom of your closet for months? What about a commitment to exercise? Does the gym know who you are or are you just another stranger who darkens the door once in a while?

Why does the phenomenon of broken resolutions happen? First, just like any goal-setting exercise, many people make resolutions that are too long term, too hard to hit, and not really quantifiable. For example, if you say, “I’m going to exercise more”, what does that really mean?   How about I’m going to walk 30 minutes 3 times a week? It’s objective, easy to hit and short term.

I tried something different at Copper Conferencing as we kicked off the New Year. Instead of asking our people to come up with business resolutions for the New Year, I decided to publish resolutions for each individual. We then held our year kick off conference call, and to everyone’s surprise, each person’s resolutions were on a PowerPoint slide for the entire company to see.

All of their resolutions have some common themes:
• Commit to personal growth
• Take more risks
• Find a way Copper can help you achieve a new business skill
• Become more proactive

My hope is that because these resolutions are public and meet the filter of goals that are shorter term, specific and attainable, we may have a higher than average success rate. It’s very important to our management that our people are advancing and growing and that we understand the company’s role in making that happen.

Additionally, we have published resolutions for the company that I would like to share:
• Make the webinar process easier. Webinars are not just about the actual call, they are about the promotion, the set up, the organization and what happens after the call is over. Look for a big announcement from Copper soon that will change the way companies look at the webinar process.
• Make the administration of conferencing more relevant to those that use it the most. Give control over the data and the organization of how the data is displayed back to the user. Again, look for a big announcement soon.
• Find ways to reduce the cost of conferencing to the customer. In 2010, we launched Nationwide Local Dial-In and we want to make sure all customers know the power that they have to reduce their costs with this technology.
• Find interesting technology partnerships to enhance the conferencing experience.
• Invest in the channel partnerships that we have to continue to grow this part of our business
• Continue to find ways to be easier to do business with.

Some pointers for when you volunteer:
· Wear tennis shoes
· Bring gloves (just in case) and make sure to bring enough warm clothes as the warehouse is very cold
· Bring a beverage/snack if you want – they have a staff/volunteer kitchen with coffee and a refrigerator
· Bring cash to shop in the thrift store – highly encouraged

Some pointers for efficiently labeling the newsletters – create an assembly line:
· Have one person place the labels on the edge of the table – ask Jace for his super efficient trick for label applying – genius really!!!
· Have another person peal the label from the table and stick to envelope
· Have another person replenish newsletters, labels and box completed newsletters
· Bring an iPhone with music or borrow a radio from the thrift store

Enjoy your time giving back and take a moment to look around – we are all so blessed.
