Ready for the weekend? 5 tips to sum up the week before you head home

Before you head home on a Friday afternoon, it is good to sum up the week. That way it is easier to start the weekend with a clear mind so you don't have to keep thinking about the next week all weekend. Here's our 5 tips on how to sum up your week and how to get the best out of it.

Go back to your goals

Did you reach all the goals you set in the beginning of the week? What about the ones you didn't?

What worked for you?

After going through your goals, think about them more closely. What do you think worked for you this week? What helped you reach those goals?

What are your points of improvement?

Think about why you didn't reach some of your goals and what could be improved to hit those goals next week. Or were those goals too far for you for now and maybe you need to rethink keeping those in your goal list.

Focus on next week

After going through your week and your goals, it is time to move on. Briefly plan your next week and some of the goals you want to hit. Also, remember to write those down or you will definitely forget those by Monday.

Highlight of the week

Spend a minute to think about the highlight of your week and enjoy the great feeling you got after succeeding in that. Keep that memory in you and head home for a great weekend!

We at West Valley Consulting hope you now have an awesome weekend!

Marketing and sales just fell into my lap, and West Valley Consulting seemed like a sustainable company to work with. Also, from the start, West Valley Consulting showed a fun work place with great atmosphere.

I plan to advance fast within West Valley Consulting and be promoted to Assistant Management as soon as possible!

It’s Promotion Season at West Valley Consulting!

Meet West Valley Consulting’s newest Corporate Trainers: Amy and Jordan! With a combination of hard work and a positive attitude, they have quickly moved up in our company. We encourage you to learn more about them and why they have become a huge asset to our team!

AMY TURCOTTE

Amy is a Utah native and graduated from Riverton High School in 2015. In her spare time, she coaches horseback riding and actively volunteers for organizations such as Future Farmers of America.  It is no secret that Amy loves horses, but did you know she can do gymnastics on the back of a moving horse? How awesome is that?!

Amy has worked with West Valley Consulting for less than a month, but she has already become a big part of our team, and we can’t wait to see what she has to offer next!

JORDAN ARNDT

Jordan joined our team in January, and we quickly realized the great potential he holds. With a strong background in customer service, beginning a career in marketing and sales was an easy transition for him!

Jordan came to West Valley Consulting to enhance his communication skills and to learn more about the business world. He enjoys working with people and is ready to take on any challenge. A fun fact about Jordan is that he loves to break dance! (We have yet to witness his break dancing, but we are eager to see his moves!)
