"If you think you're too small to make an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito." - Anita Roddick
Sometimes it's easy to forget, in this day of short attention spans,
limited face time, social media and content coming from every angle,
that someone is always watching. And everything you do and say has an
impact.
Many times, I'll post some random thought or musing on Facebook because that's how I'm feeling at the particular time. I'll think nothing of it, continue about my daily life, then I'll run into someone weeks or months later who'll tell me that my post was hilarious/offensive/annoying/completely true/ignorant/[insert emotion here]. Imagine! Just saying how you feel could affect people in a variety of ways.
This week's action: Make a list of three people that you hope are watching you right now. Prepare your elevator speech - what you'd say if you had a chance meeting - for each of them.
Why we're doing it: It's easy to get discouraged, to feel like your hard work is in vain, to forget that someone is always watching. Just be prepared for the moment when you need to take action.
