Value Them



Value Them

John C. Maxwell says this:  

“You cannot add value to someone 
if you don’t first value them.”




There is a lot of talk about adding value to someone’s life, but do we know how to do that?

Here is a short list of 12 ways in which we can value others.

-We listen to their views without interrupting.
-We use appropriate eye contact when engaged in conversation.
-We trust them until they prove untrustworthy.
-We smile and acknowledge their presence.
-We send occasional notes of thanks and appreciation.
-We remember significant events in their lives.
-We use their names correctly.
-We build them up
-We show up on time for scheduled appointments.
-We praise incremental growth.
-We see them first as a human being.
-We recognize sacrificial acts and acknowledge them.

People matter!  And they want to know that they matter.

When we remember this, we always win with people.

Always!
