Be here. Be Present.
Wherever you are, be there. – Willie Nelson
You must be present to
win. – Alex Rodriguez
Has the reader ever been brushed off, ignored or felt
like someone they were talking to did not consider them important?
According to the
Mary Kay Foundation, many years ago Mary Kay Ash experienced this. She stood in line for 2 hours to meet a man
she highly regarded. When she made it to
the front of the line, the man shook her hand while looking over her shoulder to
view the length of the crowd still to meet.
In that moment, Ash was distraught, hurt and betrayed. Ash decided at that moment that every person
she met would have her full attention and she would make that person feel special.
December is full
of hustle and bustle. Do not forget the
reason for the season and to focus on the individuals in front of the
reader.
This lesson
should be remembered all year long as we should always remember to focus on the
present and the people in front of the reader at the moment.
ACTION: Think
about how you can be present during this holiday season.
