Give people a fact or an idea and you enlighten their minds; tell them a story and you touch their souls. –Hasidic proverb.
Sandbox Wisdom is a fun, refreshing and quite possibly a life altering read. In this highly engaging story.
The book’s author explains, “Sandbox Wisdom is a way for you to reconnect to those simple, yet powerful human “truths” that you once knew instinctively, but may have long since forgotten.”
Tom, through simple truths and a beautiful story, does a remarkable job demonstrating how the importance of human connections is what life and business are all about. Providing common sense wisdom through the eyes of a child, he shows how we can revitalize our work, our relationships, and our lives.
Fun, Laughter, and Enthusiasm...We should strive to keep that childlike spirit in our work and our play. When we grow up we take ourselves way too seriously, and sometimes we become a heart attack waiting to happen.
No Limit Thinking...As children we believe that we might become president, a great artist or a great explorer. But as adults we begin to put fences around those dreams.
No Inhibitions...Children speak from the heart, and as adults we should strive to do more of that.
Read People and Situations...Children can see past the trappings of material success and see into the core of people. As we grow older we begin to label people, and as the saying goes, "labeling is disabling."
Creativity and Imagination...A great philosopher once observed, "Genius is childhood recaptured at will." The imagination and creativity we had at five too often begins to fade at fifteen.
If you wish to rekindle your attitude or you wish to re-ignite your team's passion for great customer service, here's some good advice...practice Sandbox Wisdom.
