I am thrilled to be speaking at the ATD International Conference & Exposition and even more thrilled to give attendees a sneak preview of Make Someones Day: Becoming A Memorable Leader in Work and Life, said Howard H. Prager. This book has been a labor of love and its message is something that I know can impact people both professionally and personally. It is a message that I practice every day.
The most powerful and impactful words a person can say are, you made my day, continued Prager. I learned this years ago as I recount in the book. For leaders it is a way to inspire and motivate staff and colleagues. In everyday life it is a heart-lifting way to show those around you and perfect strangers that you care.
The premise behind Make Someones Day is that you havent just committed an act of kindness when you hear those words. You have done something at the right time and in the right way that may turn someones day or even life around, inspire and motivate them, or get them unstuck. With many examples and short exercises, Make Someones Day teaches you how to make people feel like VIPs. The book includes an easy to learn model, the VIP method, that helps people improve their success rate in making someones day. It includes examples and exercises in every chapter that will allow you to embark on making someones day. It also provides the neuroscience behind Pragers concept. It is ideal for training programs, as well as everyday life. It is both a business book and self-help book in one, ideal for numerous audiences.
