In thinking Exponential, Acting Local and Reaching Globally what comes to mind is the concept of 6 Degrees of Separation which is the theory that everyone and everything is six or fewer steps away, by way of introduction, from any other person in the world, so that a chain of “a friend of a friend” statements can be made to connect any two people in a maximum of six steps. It was originally set out by Frigyes Karinthy and popularized by a play written by John Guare.

Here’s a cool diagram by Laurens van Lieshout of what 6 Degrees of Separation begins to look like and then multiply it X 1000 just for the fun of it!

When I think of ‘I Make A Difference’ Wristbands and/or Stickers, I think of how many people’s lives we each can enrich with a just little grace and ease…

For an investment of just $20 you receive 25 ‘I Make A Difference’ Wristbands, and by Acknowledging just 6 people and giving them 4 Wristband each, you end up positively impacting 24 people, and you get to keep one! And because they were Acknowledged, now multiply that …

For $65 you get 100 ‘I Make A Difference’ Wristbands, and by Acknowledging just 25 people within your circle of influence, you end up positively impacting 100 people … all because you took 30 seconds to appreciate and Acknowledge someone who made a difference in your life. Now multiply that!

But let’s not stop there…

For $75 you receive 1000 ‘I Make A Difference’ Stickers, and by Acknowledging each person with 5 stickers to carry forward (they come in sheets of 5 per sheet) you end up positively impacting 1000 people within your circle of influence! Now multiply that!

Not bad for 30 seconds to Acknowledgment each and every time serendipity, synchronicity and those uncanny coincidences occur right in front of you!

Using the Power of Acknowledgment Increases Your Bottom Line 
Excerpt from Make A Difference with the Power of Acknowledgment UTRAIN™ Program 

Core Values, your “reason for being,” will determine your success in life and in business. To help you or your organization reinforce what’s most important, and to show that you care, begin with the simple act of acknowledgment site-wide. It will have a continuous exponential ripple effect!

Acknowledgment makes more money!

According to Professor Daniel Goleman, who conducted research on how emotions affect the workplace for his book Primal Leadership, there is a direct correlation between employee morale and the bottom line.

One study found that every 2 percent increase in the “service climate” -that is, the general cheerfulness and helpfulness of the staff – saw a 1 percent increase in revenue.

To the small or large organization:  Real leadership begins on the inside with your own commitment to inspire the best in others and be the difference you want to make in your lifetime.

Cooperative Leading is a philosophy – an attitude – that will work wonders for anyone in any type of leadership role.

Emerson said it best, “It’s one of the most beautiful compensations in life that no person can help another without helping themselves.”

For every 2 percent increase in the “service climate” – that is, the general cheerfulness and helpfulness of the staff – you get a 1 percent increase in revenue.

Do the math to determine how much of an increase in “service climate” it will take to increase your revenue as much as you may need right now.

There is a current Top 10 List of Organizations that are Growing and Hiring in the midst of the economy shift, one of which is Dreyer’s, a $2 billion company with more than 6,000 employees. It just keeps on growing because of their …”I Can Make A Difference” Work Environment.

JUST IMAGINE what this will do for your office and work-place culture, not to mention what it teaches people about a great way to LIVE and succeed in this world.

Thank you for the difference you are making!

It was Brian Tracy who once said… “We are the CEO‘s of our own service organization”… meaning that we and we alone decide who we are going to give our services to for pay.

Victim mentality is pretty much about believing more in our weaknesses than we do in our strengths, which has everything to do with how we show up for our work.

Maybe we are doing work that is merely paying the bills, but hey, if it’s paying the bills it’s paying the bills.

If you feel you have a purpose and passion that extends beyond what you are currently doing, the fastest way to getting on to that next playing field is to make sure you are leaving the place you are currently working at better than when you first came.

You can do that by reaching out to each and every person in your organization – ESPECIALLY – the personnel you don’t like, who rub you the wrong way, who are irritating, difficult and start connecting, acknowledging and making a difference right there!

Dig deep inside yourself; put yourself in their shoes and start acknowledging them as authentically as you possibly can, ONE thing that you can recognize as their gift and/or talent.

I have found that each and every time I was in a work situation that I was ready to advance out of, that I had made it a goal of reaching out to connect with each and every person in a helpful way. A daily goal and that daily goal accumulated to amazing good for my professional path and I am certain it will yours … if you will just do it!

The other day, I Googled “Serendipity, Synchronicity” to see what I could find that had been written about it, as it is one of the subjects I love to ponder when it comes to being present enough to notice what’s going on “right in front of me” when I’m traveling out and about in the world.

I found a really great article by Artist Starlark, Jeanne Lloyd which I will share just an excerpt of for you today. She writes …

Synchronicity – Serendipity – Intuition

The uncanny coincidence. The unlikely conjunction of events. The startling serendipity.

Who hasn’t had it happen in their life?

You think of someone for the first time in years, and run into them a few hours later.

An unusual phrase you’d never heard before jumps out at you three times in the same day.

On a back street in a foreign country, you bump into a college roommate.

A book falls off the shelf at the bookstore, and it’s exactly what you need.

Is it only, as skeptics suggest, selective perception and the law of averages playing itself out?

Or is it, as Carl Jung believed, a glimpse into the underlying order of the universe? He coined the term synchronicity to describe what he called the “acausal connecting principle” that links mind and matter. He said this underlying connectedness manifests itself through meaningful coincidences that cannot be explained by cause and effect.

Such synchronicities occur, he theorized, when a strong need arises in the psyche of an individual. He described three types that he had observed: the coinciding of a thought or feeling with an outside event; a dream, vision or premonition of something that then happens in the future; and a dream or vision that coincides with an event occurring at a distance.

No one has come up with a definition that has superceded his, although there has been debate on whether events linked to precognition and clairvoyance should be included as synchronicity.

“There’s something about turning one’s choices over to intuition that seems to avail oneself to synchronicity,” says Allan Combs, Ph.D., a psychology professor at the University of North Carolina at Asheville who co-authored Synchronicity: Science, Myth and the Trickster (Marlowe). “In practice, that can mean moving from moment to moment when making decisions, even small decisions — especially small decisions! If you expect the unexpected, synchronicity will emerge.”

So what does Serendipity, Synchronicity and uncanny Coincidences have to do with you? Just about everything …

Today is a great time to visit with you about the inconsequential TIME FACTOR involved in noticing when there is someone next or near to you that you could reach out and positively impact with even just a little bit of Acknowledgment!

Click here to learn how you can get back the time you’ve been spending on all of the exhausting problematic happenings in your personal and professional life!

There can be only one thing keeping you from reaching out and enriching other’s lives with the transformative Power of Acknowledgment, and that would have to be about fear.

It was Marianne Williamson in A Return to Love who said this about fear:

Fear is trusting in your own power.

DIY   EVENTS    FEEL BETTER    INSPIRATION    WATCH & LISTEN    ABOUT

Let’s make things better!  As the CEO of your very own Personal Service Organization you can up your game even higher as to how you treat people affirmatively.

As we all begin to acknowledge the vulnerability in ourselves and each other and walk a mile in each others’ shoes, then we will make the kind of difference that has a positive ripple effect.

Click here to please take a few minutes to watch this week’s video about
how YOU can impact your community with acknowledgment.

Make It Better with my UTrain (MDPA) Make A Difference with the Power of Acknowledgment Program.  It is designed to reach out to our community and encourage affirmative involvement in our place of work, organizations, churches and with our schools so that together we will help kids and families who are hurting themselves and others through violence, drugs, alcohol and suicide.

MDPA can provide an additional boost to intervention programs you currently have in place.

As you know, for our living and working communities to be safe, our peers to be productive and our kids to excel academically we need to Make It Better for every one; individually and collectively.

By implementing Make A Difference (Day, Week, Month or Year) Theme you can lift every one up and out of hurtful bullying, gossip, prejudice, backstabbing, jealousy, labeling, defiance, belligerence, emotional and psychological escape through drugs, alcohol, food and electronics.  We must start NEW conversations that bring people together rather than divide us deeper.

This NEW conversation can begin with the inspirational movies I’ve brought into my MDPA program, followed with a series of thought-provoking questions designed to engage individuals with each other and their team leader to discuss the concepts of the story represented in the movie.

As adults, we need to learn how to listen to what each other has to say about how they feel and think even if their “truth” or point-of-view makes us uncomfortable. To be able to listen and hear what’s really being felt and said, peer-to-peer, it can be as simple as slowing down and continuing to ask questions until each point-of-view has been expressed and/or vented.

MDPA is structured so that individuals who get jumpy when things get emotional can stay with the questions provided and simply let a each person share their feelings and thoughts …and keep it SAFE for them to do so.

MDPA sets the theme for that day’s In-Service to demonstrate how to express thoughts and feelings in a way that keeps them coming back to their most AUTHENTIC selves. This is where self-esteem begins and academic achievement percentages improve significantly.

Let’s Provide training for Peace, Performance and synergistic Productivity.
