[Ripple Bites] # 3

Small bite size thoughts to consider and
implement from the Ripple Guy


Tell 'Em Why You Love 'Em

How often do you spend time with people that mean a great deal to you in business or in life? Do these people honestly know how much they mean to you?

Come on, really? Do they really know?

Whether it be an important client or simply a good friend, rest assured they need and are desperate to hear how much you appreciate and love them.

So next time you find yourself with someone that means a lot to you, take the time to acknowledge them for what they bring to your personal or professional life. Let the kimono open up just a little bit and tell them how you really feel and watch the the abundance of their appreciation for you and your gesture grow exponentially.

Ripple On!!!

Ripple Connection Question Of The Week

Ripple Connection Questions are a unique way to engage people in conversation. Whether with a complete stranger or someone you already know, but want to know better, using Ripple Connection Questions (RCQ) accelerate the dialogue and deepen the connection. The questions are by design, fun to ask and fun to answer, and can take your connection to an entirely new level. Come on, break out of that shell of yours and start Rippling.

The Oscar Awards were held this past Sunday and as I watched them it got me thinking about this week's Ripple Connection Question. So with no further adieu:

IF YOU WERE TO RECEIVE AN OSCAR, NOT
FOR THE ROLE YOU PLAYED BUT FOR THE
PERSON YOU HAVE BECOME, WHO
WOULD YOU THANK AND WHY?

I posed this question last evening to Twitter and Facebook and found an entirely new level of unique and interesting conversation and connection was established between myself and the people who answered. I hope you, my faithful BLOG readers, will add to the interesting mix by sharing your answers with us and more importantly, take this question and use it this week.

Ripple On!!!
