You Must Have the Home Team Advantage
By: Harrison Barnes



Career Mission's Chief Executive Officer, A. Harrison Barnes, in a webinar discussed the importance of being around people or groups that support and encourage you.

People usually wonder as to what it is that is holding them back from reaching their full potential. Harrison believes that more often than not, the company you keep has tremendous influence on you and largely determines the success or failure in your life. If you spend time with a person who is invalidating your efforts, the odds are you will be negatively affected. Similarly, if someone constantly validates you and gives you approval, you may benefit tremendously through your association with this person. In this context, Harrison talks about the home team concept which he believes relates directly to a performance and success rate. The home team advantage actually means that when a team plays at home, it tends to perform much better. Similar to the sports world, if you are among those at the workplace who make you feel good, you are bound to do a better job.

What Harrison is trying to say is that no matter how much drive you have and how talented you are, you can be held back if you are not given the support that is so essential for courage and mental strength. Everyone needs it and so do you. The best thing that you can do for yourself is to put yourself in a position where you are supported, where you have the home team advantage.




Client Testimonials
"Working as a paralegal for the past ten years while taking care of my kids, I have found it hard to get my foot in the door for more serious positions. I thought I might have been presenting myself poorly, so I paid for a resume edit. The new version was so different and more detailed than my original. If only I had thought of this stuff ten years ago! Thanks for helping me with this. After completing coursework for my degree this term, I think I may finally be able to land a new position."

"I've just finished going over the resume and cover letter. They both sound great. I'm very pleased with how it's turned out; you've managed to convey my experience in a very professional tone and yet still sound like me. I've never thought of having a 'voice' in my paperwork, but apparently I do, and you've captured it."
