Ross Hjelseth draws on more than four decades of career experience in athletics and education in this guide to choosing the right words at the right time – words that inspire, encourage, guide, teach, empathize, and elevate.
The author shares maxims gleaned from teachers, coaches, and leaders, together with his own observations, to help you:
• empower yourself and those you care about
• develop leadership skills and insights to better serve others
• build relationships through listening, speaking, and observing others
• appreciate the importance of practice, hard work, discipline, perseverance, and motivation
• determine when to use positive or negative reinforcement
Each chapter concludes with several inspirational quotes from coaches and leaders, as well as thoughtful questions to help you make a meaningful difference in your life and the lives of others.
Serve people in every context and renew your focus on gratitude, encouragement, and teamwork with the lessons in Winning Words.
