60 Seconds!

60 Second Challenge:  make someone feel valued, appreciated, or special in the first 60 seconds you talk to them!  It could be a compliment...a significant question relating to something going on in their life...or really anything that let's the person know that you think they are important!

The first 60 seconds of any conversation is so important to the overall direction of the encounter.  You have an amazing ability within the first 60 seconds to either encourage or discourage...to have a meaningful conversation or pointless one...to make an impact or miss an opportunity...to make a person feel appreciated or ignored.
