The Encouragement Factor


Book Description

Over the years, I've observed a great need for 5 key essentials to move people along their life/professional journey. Most people simply need someone to meet them where they are (engage them), while others may need someone to believe in them, in their goals, and in their vision, spurring them on to take the plunge (encourage them). Meanwhile, others have the vision, but aren't equipped with the know-how, needs, and knowledge to live out their vision (education). The last two essentials (equipping and empowering) sometimes get mixed up with one another. Some leaders believe that their job is finished when the person is equipped with the necessary tools to complete the task. However, equipping and empowering should be kept entirely separate from one another. Equipping is a positive thing and sets the stage for great things to happen, whereas the final step is when all the essentials align and come together in the form of an opportunity (empowerment). I wish I could write about all of them at once, but it would be to overwhelming. So I chose to focus on the the one that I think applies to the most people and the most people can be empowered to use in their leadership journey. The Encouragement Factor: Give Me One More Inch focuses on the power and importance of encouragement, because I believe this is where the journey to empowerment really gains traction. The Encouragement Factor: Give Me One More Inch focuses on the foundation for empowerment, which is encouragement. Encouragement is one of the 5 Essentials of Empowerment, that can completely transform the direction of a person's life! Through my years of leading, coaching, and working with people of all demographics, I've noticed that most people just need a little encouraging. Most people genuinely want to do well and are willing to put in the work, but often feel hopeless because they do not see a clear path of how they can participate in what some call the American Dream. So as you read this book, you will find yourself challenged to "give just one more inch".

The Power of Encouragement


Book Description

From the very beginning, THE POWER OF ENCOURAGEMENT seizes the reader's curiosity through the sub-title, "How to Give Away Courage." That statement immediately motivates the reader to ask, "How can you give away courage?" and therefore, the reader is hooked, off on an adventure to discover the answer to that and many other queries. Early on, the reader is also alerted that this book is based on Scripture, as demonstrated by a quotation, "How delightful is a timely word." The Prologue prepares the reader for one of the forceful themes of the book: "Few people, if any, have been encouraged by toxic, negative, complaining people, particularly Christians." The first two, short sentences in Chapter 1 summarize the book: "Encouragement builds up. Discouragement tears down." Then the reader will discover the answer about courage: "We give others the courage to do, to try, or to keep on." The author provides personal, down-to-earth examples out of his own life, his wife's life and from counseling experience. These stories bring concepts down to where "the rubber hits the road" of life. With the reassuring style of a seasoned counselor, the author provides guidance to help the reader learn skills in applying four elements of encouragement. They are: Unconditional Love, Understanding, Conveying Authenticity and Expressing Specificity. In the chapter titled Unconditional Love, the author says that the importance of acceptance is key to establishing a basis for encouragement. "It makes no difference to me who you are, where you have come from, or what you have done!" "Understanding promotes encouragement, but misunderstanding stifles it" is central to the chapter on Understanding. The author asserts that the phrase "I understand," spoken in sincerity, is useful to influence change in relationships. The first sentence in the chapter of Conveying Authenticity is "Nobody likes a phony." Authenticity means "Being the same in fact and appearance." The author claims it is infeasible
