Good Old Days

Participating in conversations that are built around the “when-we’s” is informative but not always helpful.

“When we did this before….”,

“When I was in a role like that…”,

The way things are done in a business or an industry change and improve over time, rightly or wrongly, for the better and not always for the better.  But they do progress.  Don’t make that wrong.  It just is.

Lamenting on the past may feel good, but it does not make the younger people who are part of the conversation feel like they are contributing or improving. 

Be aware of the ‘whenwes’.
