212° - Little Things make a Big Difference

     Leadership is an act that takes place in three areas of our lives: in our work environment, our personal environment, and in our community.

     Recently, while facilitating a leadership training, I shared the DVD titled, 212°, because I found its message both inspiring and motivating. After the presentation and then again at our lunch break, many of the participants continued to discuss, interpret and then envision how the information would be helpful. I continue to marvel at how little things, do indeed, make a big difference. 212° tells us there is very little that separates the good from the great. The difference is, many times, only a single degree!  This simplistic truth has vast application for all of us.

Did you know?

At 211 degrees…water is hot.
At 212 degrees…water boils.

     When water boils, it produces steam. Steam can power a locomotive. It is one extra degree that Makes all the Difference.

     As you will learn from 212° … “Belief fuels enthusiasm and enthusiasm explodes into passion. It fires our souls and lifts our spirits. Having a simple clearly defined goal can capture the imagination and inspire passion. It can cut through the fog like a beacon in the night. “

     In my work with individuals, groups and companies, I employ strategies like 212° as a part of my coaching practice. I would enjoy connecting with you and also encourage all to share your comments about any of the ideas you find presented here.
