Summer is over and it’s back-to-school time for the kiddos.
Please take a few minutes to remind the young people in your life how important it is to be aware of their surroundings and how easy it can be to help make the shy, or new, person feel more comfortable; not only during these first few weeks of school, but anytime during the year. It’s amazing how the simple and easy act of eye contact, a smile, a sincere compliment or kind word can go a long way in making someone feel a bit more comfortable, confident, and welcomed. And if they're the shy one... slow down, take a deep breath, and the same words of wisdom work for them too.
They may end up making a new “best friend”.

Are you ready to invest in your 85 percent?
