In this blog, I share my time spent working with Harold Taber Jr. on his book, The Art of Mentoring.

The way we conduct ourselves at work is important and carries so much weight.

We cannot control other people, but we can control ourselves, and the words we speak and strive to create the best work environment.

Our work ethic comes from taking on this integrity and having the ability to lean on God's word.

When we are truthful we become reliable employees and make it easier for others to depend on us for our work and what we have to bring.

There are days when it may feel harder to hold our tongue, but it is evident that our words should be gentle instead of in anger.

We are called to show God in every aspect of our lives. It may be hard to put aside our flesh at times in our work lives.

How can we be witnesses of the truth in an environment that does not typically promote talk about "religion?"

Acting in respect and kindness goes a long way in the workplace. We get to be stewards of God's goodness—isn't that such an honor!?

We cannot expect that when we make mistakes at the workplace there will be no consequences, and we must always be willing to learn from them

We should never take God's forgiveness for granted, and we should never use it as a tool to do more wrong than good.

Be proactive in furthering your career, take the necessary steps to strive for excellence, and work hard for your goals.

Our ways at work are just as important as our ways outside of work.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the work ahead of you? Whether it be at school or in building your career, hard work can feel daunting.
