The Teddy Stoddard Story

I just found this video, and think it really teaches a wonderful lesson about the profound and often overlooked difference we can make in the lives of others. At the bottom of the description of this video, it says, "Please remember that wherever you go, and whatever you do, you will have the opportunity to touch and/or change a person's outlook. Please try to do it in a positive way." What a true statement! When I worked for Marriott, managers were often reminded that every single interaction with our associates, no matter how short, either makes a positive impact or a negative impact on them. Whether it be a simple interaction with a grocery store clerk, or one with more far-reaching implications like with our family or those we teach or manage, let's all commit to slowing down a little and making each conversation and moment matter.
