May is Honors month when you have children in school…within the past week, there were accolades circling the Bloomington Batz family:\u00a0 National Honor Society, Phi Beta Kappa, Guild of St. Lucia, Jussi Bjorling Society and more.\u00a0 As parents, we’re always proud of our children – parents are supposed to think their kids are special.\u00a0 It’s when other people think our kids are special that causes us to reflect.\u00a0 Especially when peers and teachers alike lift them up as examples of what’s good in the world.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Honors Day: Katie, Paul and Ben Batz<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Growing up, I never took much pride in my studies.\u00a0 I got better grades in college than high school because I could pick both my subjects and my professors.\u00a0 The smartest thing I did was to marry someone who got good grades!\u00a0 This past Saturday, my son Ben and I sat together at the Honors Day ceremony where Kathryn Anne Batz was honored several times by her professors and peers.\u00a0 (Mom would have loved the ceremony.\u00a0 She was overseas meeting our newest nephew.\u00a0 Anna was home being a teenage girl!)<\/p>\n

But, alas, formal schooling is almost done for Ben and Katie…and I’m reflecting.\u00a0 Very soon they will both discover the annual May honors ritual will be drying up.\u00a0 College will end and the rest of life will begin.\u00a0 After opening a couple of paychecks that thrill will wear off…and they will soon discover that so many people work hard, dedicate themselves and do good things — and they don’t get to hold the yellow rose.<\/p>\n

Then one day it will hit them: the biggest honor is to earn a client’s trust.\u00a0 Or to be given a meaty assignment because someone believes you will get the job done.<\/p>\n

Good leaders know the importance of honoring the people in our lives who represent what’s good — and they teach others the honor in earning trust by a job well done.<\/p>\n

Drop me a note and share with me one of the ways you feel honored in your work. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
