How to CARE Out Loud
Most of us care, but not caring is not the issue. You’re influence is not measured by how much you are, it is measured by how much people feel cared for. We often don’t find time to be loud about it because we get busy. It’s time to change that. It’s time to become intentional in the way that we Celebrate, Appreciate, Recognize, and Encourage others.
There are literally hundreds of ways to do this. In fact, I’ve put together a list of 100 ways to be loud and a challenge that you can choose to accept below. Here are my top 10:
Loud on a Sticky Note – Highlight someone with a sticky note and post it in their work area.
Dependable Loudness – Choose one person who you know you can rely on and thank them.
Naturally Loud – Find someone with a natural talent and tell them how you see them putting their strengths to work.
Loud Lunch – Arrange to take someone out to lunch and tell them what their influence has been on you.
Loud in a Meeting – During a meeting today, bring someone’s name up who is in the meeting with you and share 2-3 things that you appreciate about them.
Loud Boss – Find an opportunity to celebrate or praise your boss.
Loud with a Book – Purchase a book for someone and write in the cover what they mean to you.
Loud Listening – Take time to fully listen to another, removing all distractions.
Locally Loud – Purchase some goodies from a local company and give them to someone you appreciate.
Loud Music – Ask some what their favorite music or playlist is and play it as background music.
