My entire life has been dedicated to being an encourager. What does that mean? My purpose and passion is to see people for what they can become when given a simple positive word of hope and recognition. It is amazing to see the transformation that takes place inside a corporate culture, within small businesses, among employees, and even within families and individuals. To see someone's eyes light up when they are called by their name. To lift someone's spirits when the pressures of life have weighed them down. Especially during these unsettling times. I am forever grateful for people who gave me a kind word, a smile, looked me in the eye with a firm handshake, and kept me going through many hardships and tragedies. After losing my 5 year old son to Cerebral Palsy and raising two beautiful intelligent daughters, family means everything to me. Every one of us has a choice to make. I'm challenging you to become an encourager too, If you aren't already. There's a surprising power that is released inside of you and I when we make a conscious choice to encourage someone. Some time ago I wrote a book about a guy named Barney. He had a reputation as a local encourager, a community organizer involved in a fundraiser to support victims of a food shortage in a major metro area. His life impacted the entire world for generations. I have two published resources to help you grow.Learn more: http://www.EbookPowerOfEncouragement.comand http://www.15LawsOfGrowthSampler.com
