I promote kindness in business.
It doesn't pay in dollars, but in goodwill and good
relationships.
Be sure you read the
pages on this topic in the sub-menu in he left
column.
Are you a godmother, a
ghost or a gremlin?
Godmothers
want the best
for you and if they had a magic wand (the means) they would
make all your wishes come true.
Ghosts
are nebulous,
barely present, and not harming nor beneficial.
Gremlins
are little
ugly trolls or goblins who poke, jab, or trick you to
create havoc in your life to cause deliberate misery.
For 30
years I have consulted to and promoted ambitious,
risk-taking consultants, specialists and practitioners.
Sadly, what I have seen over the past two decades is a
great deal of self-absorption and, in the ruthless drive to
succeed, a disregard and disrespect for the people they do
business with.... service providers, suppliers or
customers/patients/clients. I have seen this in my dealings
with professionals and practitioners, both from the
perspective of a patient, client, or customer myself; and
as a provider of marketing and promotion services to
authors, speakers, experts, and consultants.
As a proponent of *The
Golden Rule, I am so disappointed by
behavior I've observed that I closed my personal public
relations practice for a few months in disgust. My speaker
directory, CommissionFreeSpeakers.com
still
exists to provide support services for speakers.
Which are you and which do
you have in your life?
I have
godmothers in my life and many,
many
ghosts,
but the
gremlins are prevalent, too.
It's my desire, through speaking, writing, and
consulting, to turn gremlins into ghosts and ghosts into
godmothers.
