Put Those “You Oughtas” to Good Use

October 30, 2019

Still hung up on this volunteering thing.

Remember how I talked about how annoying it is to hear, “You oughta…”?

Well, I might have a good use for those “You oughtas”.

We all like to give advice, right? So,

If you don’t really want to sit on a committee, but still want to Get Things Done…

Go to one meeting. Write down your suggestions about what YOU think they should be doing, or how to move meetings along more efficiently. In a day or two—NOT during the meeting—make your suggestions. Who knows—you may have some ideas that will actually make the committee members’ lives easier.

You may get interested enough to go back and help them follow through.

But even if you don’t—a helpful suggestion can—well—help.

So, you can get all that good advice that you’re dying to give somebody out of your system.

And you can count that as your Volunteer Specialty.
