Value
Them
“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!
