Thankful for Enthusiasm...

Yesterday, a Dale Carnegie Course graduate in the Philadelphia area spoke about what results she had gained from the program.

With energy and passion, she spoke of how important enthusiasm is to accomplishing tangible goals, both in her professional and personal life.  Her participation in the Dale Carnegie Course had shown her the different facets of enthusiasm...and how, when used in conjunction with specific Human Relations Principles, has created a powerful and sincere sense of teamwork and a "can-do" attitude in her departmnent.

There is much more to enthusiasm than what we may consider being a "cheerleader".  Enthusiasm is also about the passion that we show for our work and our lives.  It may manifest itself through our ability to adapt to change and be flexible, prioritize tasks, be more organized, etc.

As we approach Thanksgiving, it may be useful for us to be thankful for the many ways that we can show enthusiasm.  True leaders-those who others willingly follow, are models of enthusiasm.

When we're more enthusiastic, others will be more enthusiastic.

Happy Thanksgiving!
