Permalink The Power of Respect: Review & Giveaway
Deborah Norville
In The Power of Respect Norville details the specific dollarsavings in business and dramatic improvements in student test scoresthat are directly attributable to respect. She says, "Now that I'veseen the research done by some of the greatest minds in the field, I amstunned to see the impact of being respected and giving respect. I amalso mystified. Why wouldn't someone want to put it to work?"
Respect tips, sprinkled throughout the text, and Respect Reminders,at the end of each chapter, add to the clarity of the message and helpreinforce the personal benefits. Start practicing this most overlookedingredient of success and find out what it means for you!
Our culture has moved away from the respect that was once evident in most places of business, worship and education. And despite what one might think it isn't always the youth that are disrespectful. You'll find people in all classes, ages and positions fall into that category, and many of them seemingly aren't even aware of it.
Inside Edition anchor and best-selling author Deborah Norville has written a book about The Power ofRespect, who has it, how they show it, and what you can do to have it too.
Quotations, interviews and research are what makes the book, and while often I found the text itself disjointed, the basic issue at hand - that of treating all people because everyone is worthy of respect.

I did not care for some of the analogies she made, nor with some of the people she interviewed, but the book basically comes down to how you can use The Power of Respect in your own life, and how it will not only change how others look at you, but how you look at others. That makes it worth reading.
Thanks to Thomas Nelson Publishers I have two copies of the book to giveaway.

wow what a great book, i work with alot of young people and i try to set the example, and show them what respect is, and when they are out of line i let them know!!!
I try my best to listen and not give advice or my opinion unless someone asks specifically for them. It seems most people just need a good listener. :)
Pretty simple - that "Do unto others" thing really works!
I use manners such as please, thank you, yes sir etc. Showing manners is respect.
I make sure people can tell that I'm listening to them when they talk to me. It drives me crazy when I'm speaking to someone and I know they're not paying attention to me!

Christina 0 xristya@rock.com - There's a Sufi saying about addressing the God in each person, and I try to do this, to respect the higher plane of each person I know and meet and to interact with it.
I listen when people talk and express my opnions if they ask for it.
