A few years ago, I met someone who asked me what I did for a living. So I told him: I was a professional development trainer and I work with companies to help elevate employee performance, he said, “Oh man! That sounds awful!” I was SO shocked. I had never gotten a response like that. In fact, most people think my job sounds really fun, and it is! Obviously, this person had some bad experiences with workplace training.

We use the word busy far too often. We say it when friends ask us how we are doing, as if being busy is an emotion. It’s an excuse we use to procrastinate on unpleasant tasks. We use it to sound important at work, because being busy somehow equates to being successful. But you’re never too busy for 10 minutes, which is all it takes to improve yourself just a little each day.

His characteristic approach was marked by interviews with ordinary Americans about their jobs and how they felt about them. He did lots of other stuff but that was his work. What is especially striking is that he saw himself as a chronicler of other people’s lives rather than a commentator on them.
