My 7 year old son loves baseball. So much so that he wanted to play baseball for his recent birthday party. Of course, we made it happen – in the freezing cold. Moms and dads vs the kiddos. One mom wasn’t interested in playing, so she was kind enough to take pictures and videos. After the party, she sent me the one below. It is the birthday boy himself. I laughed out loud. He (unnecessarily) slid into home, but didn’t quite make it. Then he discreetly (and gracefully) turned into pushup position and scooted his feet to the plate, likely thinking no one was watching. HA! I’m certain someone more clever than me could come up with great memes for this one!
But, considering I edit for a living, you can imagine what it made me think… How sometimes you can manage to get a hit (come up with a great idea), make it all the way around the bases (get support and buy-in from peers as you work on the project), and come so close to scoring (completing the project), but need just a little help crossing the finish line (final edits).
Sometimes you hit home runs, but sometimes you need someone else to hit you in. Turns out I’m pretty good at that.
Baseball analogies/metaphors/idioms are limitless in the business world and real life alike. I’m certain some of you are even tired of them. But, a run is a run, no matter if it’s from a home run or an RBI. Teamwork is my specialty, and I’m on-deck to hit you home!
