Hey there, Parker here. I've been incorporating Dale Carnegie's Golden Book into my life and I found that each one of his principals apply to both my personal and professional life. I decided to become a friendlier person and started with a smile.I smiled and nodded my head to complete strangers and to my surprise, most of them smiled back. That small act made me feel terrific. So I gave it a try while meeting members of my new team, they must have already read his book because not only did they smile back, but they were genuinely interested in my skills, experience and background.
Even better, my new team embraced #6 on Carnegie's list for Becoming a Friendlier Person: A person's name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language. "Parker" is certainly that to me.
So becoming a friendlier person has not only allowed me to engage and interact with some great people in my community (shout outs to Debbie at the grocery store), but has made my transition into a new opportunity all the better.
Best,
Parker
