4 Simple Words: Have a great day!
#CatalystBusinessNewsletter
How powerful are words and attention you give others? EXCEPTIONALLY POWERFUL!
4 simple words had a wonderful impact on me recently.
It happened at 6:16am on a Monday.
I was about 1/2 way through a walk with my dogs and came upon a woman walking the opposite direction.
I moved to the side to make room for her, and she did the same for me.
Note, when I walk past someone on my walks, I usually smile, nod, maybe mouth: “Hello”.
I feel that is socially responsible.
This woman looked me in the eye and exclaimed: “Good Morning! What a great day for a walk!” But it was the next 4 simple words that really affected my mood & the remainder of my walk.
As we parted ways, she yelled behind me: “Have A Good Day!”
As I continued my walk, I noticed myself smiling and my mood was elevated. I literally had a spring in my step.
4 simple words. They can change someone’s day!
We can do the same, every day at work. 3 words…4 words…1 word…2 words:
- It’s Great To See You!
- I’m Glad You’re Here!
- Have A Great Day!
- Hello! (While looking them in the eye and smiling)
- You Did Great Today!
- Nice Work!
- Well Done!
Let’s challenge ourselves to do and say more of this…every day at work.
- Make it easy for people to do and keep doing business with you!
- Look up…and surprise someone!
