Bringing Fred into the Speech & Training

In the past week, I have been asked to do a short training (just a couple of minutes) and for a different occasion, give a 10 minute speech. The training is for a non-profit leadership group and the speech is for a group of people with our Church. Both are suppose to involve examples of my life and what is meaningful...so I begin to think about what is current in my life and in pops Fred.

Side note: In one of my previous posts, I wrote about The Fred Factor by Mark Sanborn (which I have now finished). This is a fabulous book about Fred the Postman who does his job in extraordinary ways!

Tonight I will do my training on tips that I have picked up from Fred and I have included those tips below!

"Whatever you are, be a good one." - Abraham Lincoln

Surprise others! Do something unexpected for someone else!

Grow yourself! Take time to think about what you do and why you do it.

Be interested! Take the time to know the other person and listen to his or her needs and desires. In order to accomplish our life goals, we need to help others achieve theirs!

Practice the one-a-day plan! Do one extraordinary thing a day. Turning the ordinary into the extraordinary happens one act at a time.

"No man can become rich without himself enriching others." - Andrew Carnegie

My speech is going to be more involved and must have some good examples so as I work on it, I will pass it along to get your thoughts!

Thanks for listening! Hope Fred enthuases you and you become a Fred today!
