Do You Really Know The Power of Acknowledgment?

Whether you know it or not, the world is full of people who should be acknowledged and done so by you.  So many times we would like to do so for those closest to us but are afraid of how they may think or whether they would question your motives.  But acknowledgment takes practice and one way to get better at giving it sincerely is to start with the people you do not know in your world. 

Can you imagine just how the waitress wuld feel if you thanked her for know what your usual order was and had it going when she saw you walk in the door.  Or if you told the next person on the other end of the phone that assisted you how much you appreciated her help.  Make a point of doing that sometime and watch how their voice becomes a little cheerier or there is a bigger smile on their face.  So many in this world do not truely believe that they are good enough or fast enough or rich enough to make a difference.  Maybe just a little more acknowledgment will make the world a better place for those around us.

As you work on the world around you, it will be amazing how you begin to acknowledge and show appreciation for your family and friends.  And you will also notice how much better you will feel about yourself as well.  You will soon see how many people around you not only feel like winners but are winners.  Appreciation does not cost anything but has so much value.  Today is a great day to start making that kind of investment to everyone to include you.

Yes, I most certainly do know and appreciate the power of acknowledgment. In fact, in 2006 I wrote a book called The Power of Acknowledgment with the 7 Principles of Acknowledgment that I created. The corporate world has embraced it and I teach half day courses in New York City on this subject, as well as live, interactive virtual courses with attendees from all over the world. I addressed 1,000 people at a major event recently composed of people both in and out of the corporate world and the response was overwhelming. People are hungry for this tool, which everyone possesses yet are unwilling, afraid, embarrassed or just uncomfortable using. I teach them how to overcome the obstacles to acknowledge freely and generously. Here is a link to what I do: www.iil.com/poa . I welcome all to share this with me.

Warm regards,
