I have a little bone to pick with those who think that the Beckham's should change when they come to America. After all, the LA Galaxy is bringing Beckham here so that he can make US better, not the other way around. Let's also not forget that the tandem has been doing quite well just the way they were, with Victoria's book, music, and fashion career being very successful enterprises in addition to David's soccer career.
This all brings me to the point I'd like to make today. When starting a new job, don't change who you are. You obviously got the job based on one or more outstanding attributes that your boss thought would be an asset to the company. This doesn't necessarily have to be a skill but could be a personality trait. Let's say for example you are quite the outgoing and humorous person, a regular Kramer, before the politically incorrect rant of course. You walk in the first day and you could swear that you were working with all of Ben Stein's relatives because you are the oddball with a smile and a cheery "Hello!" to be seen or heard throughout the cubicles. Take advantage of this and don't be afraid to be yourself. You have the opportunity to offer something that every company needs: character! If you aren't accepted by everyone for who you are, chances are this work environment isn't for you anyway. All in all, don't be afraid to embrace your strengths and share them when needed.
