Never say "I Can't"

This is my motto, you will never hear me say that "I Can't" do something.  There is always a solution to every problem (or puzzle as the case may be).  In Human Resources, we are faced with complex situations that have a variety of issues involved with them.  These situations are not generally as easy as 1+1=2, but there is ALWAYS a solution.  So here is how I face each challenge:

• Identify the core problem.
• Research any applicable laws
• Ask a lot of questions
• LISTEN to the answers
• Don't make assumptions
• Be compassionate and actively listen to all involved
• Don't jump to a solution

I CAN... and so can you.  Just keep telling yourself that EVERY PROBLEM HAS A SOLUTION.  It may not always be a solution that we like, but there always is one.
