July 18, 2009Kudo: I can speak up WITHOUT ticking off the world

Filed under: Kudo Corner by merylrunion |

This is one of my favorite kudos. I often talk about how when people don’t know what to say, they often say nothing. And when they discover there is alternative to passiveness besides aggression, they will speak. Here’s the kudo that warmed my heart.

“When I first read PowerPhrases, it felt like a candle lit in my mind. Yes, I remember thinking, I can do this. I can say these things. Unlike so many other “self-help” books I’ve read trying to cultivate my self-esteem, PowerPhrases offered me a very simple message: I really could stand up for myself, say what was on my mind and be heard WITHOUT ticking off half the known world.”
