Be the Voice



Be the Voice

Whether you are running a race, developing a new product, building a bridge or guiding a child’s life, this is an axiom I believe in.

John Maxwell and Les Parrot said it in their book 25 Ways to Win with People.

People will go farther than they thought they could
when someone they respect tells them they can.

This is an example of encouragement at its finest.  Just imagine what the successful outcome might look like if we consistently whisper those magic words that can make a difference.  The words are … You can do it.

Say it to
-People running a race
-A team wrestling with a product development issue
-A teen struggling with identity
-A Mom juggling a myriad of family responsibilities
-A frustrated athlete facing the starting line in a critical race

…And a few thousand other situations…


The right word at the right time can make all the difference in the world. 

Can you be that encouraging voice to someone today?  I imagine someone near you needs a dose of “you can do it” and they need it sooner rather than later.

Do it. 
   Be the voice. 
      Be the source.    
         Be the encouragement agent.
