Manage Yourself as a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant

“Manage yourself” is the mantra of my trainer Jerome. In the middle of a set of chest presses he’ll say “Vickie, manage yourself.” He’s not asking for much – just for me to engage my core, abs and glutes, pin my shoulder blades to the bench and press with my chest, not my arms. Jerome is an awesome trainer, but whenever I hear those two simple words, one fact is clear: he’s the trainer and I’m the one pushing the barbell off my chest. He can’t contract my glutes for me and he can’t activate my chest muscles. That’s my job.

I love to mentor Certified Legal Nurse Consultants, but recently one CLNC^® consultant really needed to hear the two simple words I hear from Jerome three times a week. I can tell you what to do and I can even tell you how to do it (and will), but I can’t do it for you. The only person who can manage you is – you guessed it – you.

To be a successful Certified Legal Nurse Consultant you have to engage every success muscle in the act. And, did I mention you’re also going to have manage yourself?

I’m just sayin’

P.S. Comment and share what you need to do to better manage yourself.
