The Encouragement Superpower; This Week's Reading Pile
Written by Anthony Demangone, Powered by NAFCU
Last Saturday, a gentleman approached me and thanked me for writing this blog.
I was blown away. I didn’t know he read it. And the “pat on the back” was unexpected.
The whole interaction took 15 seconds. The good feeling it gave me? That lasted days.
Saying thank you to someone is a powerful way to encourage and engage others. It is virtually free. And it is highly underutilized.
But we can change that last fact.
Now, on to this week’s reading pile.
