The Little Gestures: Communicating With Your Voice

Have you seen the United Way poster ads lately? "Live United." Or how about the Liberty Mutual television ads running? "Responsibility...what's your policy?" I don't know if I am just delighted that spring is around the corner, but the sentiment of these ads are hitting a chord with me. We know we can all try harder to connect. We know we have the capacity to give more, listen more, lend a helping hand. These are the small things that have always attracted me to working with people. Maybe I could make a difference and in turn help others make a difference. You remember that Faberge shampoo ad, "and so on and so on and so on." What is your passion? How can you help build a bridge between two people where maybe there was little hope. I know that the way we speak to one another has a large influence on how connected we can feel. Let your tone of voice communicate the attitude you believe will help move things forward. It's the little gestures we make that make a world of difference.
