THE TOP 10 LESSONS LEARNED FROM A FEW GOOD HENS - Chicken Run
By Cindy R. Hogan, Navigations Coaching, Inc.

Never underestimate the powerful messages in an animated film, and how they pertain to our daily personal and business challenges. If you havenít seen this movie, go soon.......

1. If you have a dream, never, ever, stop pursuing it, even if you must do the impossible to achieve it.

2. If at first you donít succeed, try, try again, and eventually youíll fly outta there!

3. When facing insurmountable odds, bring in your friends/co-workers to multiply the creative possibilities.

4. Sometimes, the enemy is not the bad-guy boss or spouse, but your own unwillingness to make the choice to either stay and die, or risk your life trying.

5. Itís easy to find an individual way through a challenge, but to bring along your whole flock, takes sheer courage and sacrifice.

6. When you canít find the answer, perhaps itís time to take a break and dance a happy step for awhile.

7. It takes all kinds to reach a goal: the tall, the plump, the old, the good-looking, the wheeler-dealers, the cranky, the lone rangers and the smart ones, for they all have an important part in the journey.

8. The grass isnít always greener on the other side, but youíd better take a look to satisfy your imagination, or youíll always wonder.

9. Valuing technology more than people will always land you in the soup.

10. Never lose your sense of humor, and if itís waning, spend some time at a childrenís movie, eat some popcorn and forget real life for awhile.
