Podcast Episode 74: An Easy Way to Make Someone’s Day

Mar 2, 2013 | Podcasts

In The Loop with Andy Andrews, hosted by Andy Traub.

Andy and AT share a message from a listener about an amazing moment the listener created in a restaurant by honoring a friendly waiter.

 

When you honor people and give them a “standing ovation,” amazing things happen.

  • Everyone involved will end up paying it forward.
  • It will change the way they interact with everyone for at least the rest of the way.
  • It will create an immeasurable ripple effect.

 

We’re very quick to tell someone when things aren’t done properly.

  • Why don’t we point out when things are done right?
  • We can change our culture by beginning to do things differently, and honoring those who get it right…instead of always complaining when something is wrong.

 

We’re either doing something or nothing.

  • Which one are you doing?
  • If you’re doing something, Andy wants to hear about it.

 

We’ve all got the guts to tell everyone how bad someone did, but who has the guts to tell someone what a different they made?
