Top 7 Reasons why we don't acknowledge one another...
Excerpt from Make A Difference with the Power of Acknowledgment UTRAIN® Program for Business

1. Jealousy and envy; fear of being seen as insincere flattery, fake.

2. Speechless; as in "ah, don't know what to say," can't find the words.

3. I'll do it tomorrow; tomorrow never comes.

4. That person is so great they don't need it or it'll give them a big (or bigger) head.

5. If you do it too much it will lose its impact and/or importance.

6. Fear of being rejected; blown off. Feeling vulnerable.

7. Don't belong, so why bother.

Error Thinking: Scarcity mentality is the fear based, negative belief that "more for you" means "less for me." The term, "Zero-Sum" means that "there's not enough pie for everyone."

And so we think that by withholding Acknowledgment we are somehow preserving something for ourselves!

This makes no practical sense.

With Make A Positive Difference Program the entire workforce is going to learn how to Successfully Reach Out to Acknowledge others to Make A Difference because we JUST DON'T KNOW whose life we may be saving or making a difference in.

The life we may be saving may be someone we are very close to, someone we hardly know, a stranger, or even our own!

This is NOT just a slogan; this program is about being "Life Changers!"

Every in-service has been fully designed for your staff with activities and skills that every one can go out and practice to Make A Difference through the personal power of Acknowledging others.

PLAN NOW to get this "Make A Positive Difference" Program on your In-service agenda for the very first part of this new year and you WILL see a calming effect over the entire workplace.

People who learn to acknowledge others will feel good about themselves. When we teach our teams "how" to safely and effectively become more authentic through learning how to genuinely acknowledge others during a week, month and/or year long experiment in human kindness... they WILL do outstanding when it comes to being able to relax and "think" when working together and doing so, synergistically. Why?

Because the LIGHT IS ON and somebody is in there doing their work... with purposeful intent!

Reaching out to make a difference in business in 2013...
