Then plan ahead to give yourself time each day to mentally prepare your gameplan and walk into work with an intentional mindset.
Be a source of hospitality for your team. Be a positive force. Make an active effort to connect with those around you. Learn the name of everyone you work with, say hello, smile and make eye contact as you’re getting to work every day.
Ask for feedback from peers and managers. Learn what your strengths are and any areas of improvement you can be aware of. Use the situation you’re in as the training ground to practice and learn new skills to get better at what you do.
Sharpen your skills by helping others develop theirs. Think about what you do really well and learn how to train others to do what you do. Identify someone that may need help and show an interest in their growth. You can start simply offering to help by sharing techniques you’ve learned work best for you.
Bonus pro-tip: Learn more about how the business works. Find ways to get involved in new areas. Share your interest in learning with leaders and offer to help with things like inventory, ordering, or special organizational projects to gain exposure to new things.
