EP74: How To Change Lives By Appreciating People

On this episode of The Wednesday Call podcast, your host Andy Albright comes to you live from Atlanta, Ga. where more than 100 members of The Alliance joined Albright on the third leg of a series of Boot Camps this week. Did you know you can change lives by showing people that you appreciate them, accept them and approve of them? You can change lives by appreciating people. Listen in as Andy continues discussing the 3 As that show you are a leader and how you can build upon the trust level you already have with people. There are dead giveaways or tell-tale signs that people are not appreciators of the 3 As (Acceptance, Approval, Appreciation) Your walk gives you away. Your physical gives away your mental state. If your walk is too cocky or too timid, that’s bad. If your shoulders are slumped or you walk too fast, that isn’t good. Your physical appearance is an outward glimpse of your mental appearance. Your stance. Don’t stand with your hands in your pockets. Don’t stand with your arms crossed. Don’t cross your hands in front or behind you. Leave your hands by your side, opened up and your shoulders back. Your Handshake. There are three types of handshakes. The limp fish, the strong money-making grip and the bone crusher. If your hands are really cold, rub them together to warm them before shaking hands with a person. Keep a nice, standard handshake. Most effective communication is based on the tone of a person’s voice and the sincerity. Be effective when communicating by not mumbling. Speak clearly. Speak directly. It creates trust. All of these things can be practiced in the mirror. When speaking, separate your first name from your last name. Make sure you are smiling. Assume people are going to like you because people crave relationships. People will pick up on the attitude you put out there. They will adopt what you show them. Take on the attitude you want to have. Don’t expect something until you inspect it. People rise and fall by the expectations you set for them. People will go toward the direction you push them. Pour on the effort, energy, love and help to the people who are almost to the point of success. www.AndyAlbright.com @AndySAlbright www.NAALeads.com @NationalAgentsAlliance @NAALeadsTheWay #TheAlliance #DoTheDo
