“Classic Car Business Gets Employee Tune-up”

 Local motivational speaker and author, Jim Donovan, recently completed a four-part workshop series for Grundy Worldwide, based in Horsham, Pa. 

Grundy Worldwide is a 62-year-old business that is family-owned and has a notable history in the collector vehicle hobby.  Specializing in insuring classic automobiles and car collections, as well as other valuable possessions, Grundy Worldwide has helped to preserve and protect a hobby in which millions of people participate.

Most of Grundy’s employees are among those hobbyists, making the company’s customer service exceptional. “Car guys” can talk to fellow “car guys,” when they insure with Grundy.
 
Grundy Worldwide’s management team felt that investing in the continued success of their employees was a prudent business decision, especially in these challenging times.

 

“Our dedicated, highly-knowledgeable and hard-working employees make this company thrive,” explained Jim Grundy, Jr., President and CEO of Grundy Worldwide. “And, I want them to know they are appreciated.”

Part of Grundy Worldwide’s investment in its workers was implemented by inviting employees to participate in Jim Donovan’s most-requested small business program, “Getting the Most Out of Your People and Your Self.”

This motivation seminar series is designed to help employees increase their productivity and improve communications throughout the organization.  And, Donovan brought his seminars right to the Grundy headquarters, in Horsham, PA.

Combining personal development principles like law of attraction, visualization techniques, goal setting and planning, along with leading edge performance strategies, individuals are better equipped to improve their own productivity, as well as that of the entire organization.  This results in an organization that is better-prepared to meet the demands of business in the twenty first century. 

“Since we participated in Mr. Donovan’s seminars, the energy level in our office has seemed to increase, and the atmosphere has lightened up quite a bit,” said Chuck Wasoski, VP Collector Vehicle Insurance and participant in the seminar series. “We’re more motivated than ever, working harder than ever and business is booming!”

If you didn’t know when you were born, how old would you be?

Now there’s a question that can change the way you perceive the whole idea of age and aging.

After all, what is age?

It’s really just a number, even though we have been conditioned into “believing” that it dictates everything from when we start to go downhill in terms of our health to, in many cases, when we feel as though we are of no value to society. 

Broadway actress, Billie Burke, remarked, “Age only matters if one is a cheese.”

When you come right down to it, most of what your life is comprised of has little or nothing to do with your age. Your health, creativity, talent, mind and your ability to continue to make a significant contribution to society is not determined by your age but rather your attitudes and beliefs.

While some physical abilities do slow with age even these are being challenged as we learned when swimmer Dara Torres at age 41 won three silver medals at the Beijing Olympics. While it’s unlikely she’ll be in swimming competitions at 70 or 80, she can still make a contribution to her chosen field as a coach or trainer. By the way. her new book, Age is Just a Number, was just published.

 
I love her attitude. In the book, she says, “The water doesn’t know how old you are.”

Martha Graham, considered to be one of the foremost pioneers of modern dance, choreographed until her death at age 96.

What about you?

What are your beliefs about aging?

Since my new book, Don’t Let an Old Person Move Into Your Body, (due in June), is about making the rest of your life the best of your life, I will be writing more about this going forward. 

In the meantime, I urge you to re-examine  your own attitudes and beliefs about aging. It’s a biological fact that we are all aging, however, getting old is optional and, in my opinion, a state of mind. You can choose not to let an old person move into your body, regardless of your present age.  

Pretend you do not know when you were born.
How would you act?
What would you do?
