Can you spot the tell-tale
signs of a discouraged person? Before you can help a discouraged person,
you must be able to recognize the symptoms. Who do you know who fits these
patterns?
· Driven by the need for the
attention of others
· Obsessed with gaining power and control
· Preoccupied with revenge
· Living a facade
· Dishonest
· Excessive perfection, rigidity, inflexibility
· Closed-minded to change and new ideas
· Retreats from life's challenges
· Lack of confidence
· Avoidance of responsibilities, blames others, makes excuses
· Thoughts of worthlessness
Learn how to spot these signs
in people around you. Don't let age, sex, location, events on the job or
at home or school effect your ability to be an encouraging person.
The first edition of this book
was highly successful, but as the new millennium emerges, Dr. Losoncy
realized the need for an updated, expanded version. This book is perfect
for managers, teachers, parents, spouses, and any person in a position of
leadership (military, volunteer groups, scouting, coaching) who wants to
help an employee at work or a friend on a personal level.
We all have the ability to get
away from discouragement, from discouraging persons, and fixed and
inflexible perceptions.
Learn the art of encouragement
from a master. Let Dr. Lewis Losoncy demonstrate through practical
examples how any of us can:
· Create an ideal, encouraging relationship;
· Decide what to focus on when dealing with discouraged persons;
· Facilitate decision-making;
· Encourage action;
· Encourage self-evaluation; and
· Encourage self-encouragement.
