How To Remain Relevant

by Encouragement Speaker Derrick Hayes

Have you ever wondered how others keep making things happen? Each letter in the word RELEVANT will give you an action step that you can use to move into greatness.

Read and proceed with 8 strategies that you can begin to implement today.

(R) Reinvent Yourself. Look at the career of Sean Combs. He started off as Puff Daddy. Puff Daddy emerged into P Diddy who innovatively became Diddy.

The fast pace of the internet allows you to create a brand in seconds. The time it takes you to set up a FaceBook or Twitter account is how long it will take you to get noticed.

(E) Enjoy what you do. Find the fun in your work. Search for ways to bring the happiness to your environment. When you are passionate and excited others will see and take notes. This makes it easier to make deals when you are wanted.

(L) Learn form others. Research what seminars are taking place in your area. Listen to podcasts and tele-seminars. Seek out a mentor who can take you to the next level. Watch videos of how people speak and conduct themselves.

(E) Entrepreneur your expertise. Use what you do best and give your job a rest. Use what you know to grow. Even if you never leave your job being in business will help you get some tax write offs.

(V) Visit your elders. Life is about paying dues and paying respect. Give back to the generation that has given to us. (Discuss hanging out with Bubba)

(A) Ask for feedback. Golden nuggets of wisdom are found when we ask those close to us how can we improve?

(N) No Your Way. You have to say no sometimes. Every opportunity is not for you. Learn what is for you and not for you. Learn how to make the most of each opportunity that is right for you.

(T) Teach others. Keep your legacy growing. We are taught so that one day we will teach. Passing on the knowledge keeps entire communities and cultures alive over centuries.

In these days and times in order to be relevant you have to reinvent yourself so you can enjoy what you do. When you learn from others you can entrepreneur your expertise. Take time out to visit your elders and ask for feedback. When you no your way and teach others the life you leave behind will be forever relevant.

How To Use Your Skills

by Encouragement Speaker Derrick Hayes

Everyone has a God given ability or skill that can be used to inspire and motivate others. A skill is defined by Dictionary.com as an ability to use one’s knowledge effectively in doing something. In Thessolonians 4:11-12, a foundation is given for “How To Use Your Skills”, The scripture says “And that ye study to be quiet, and do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we command you; That you may walk honestly toward that are without, and that you may have lack for nothing.”

In order to know “How To Use Your Skills” you must know what your skills are, become an expert at what you do, network with others and use your skills to achieve dreams.

Is there something that you are good at or just like to do? The answer to this question can open up your life to many opportunities that may not have already come your way. I like to give speeches and write daily quotes.

Once you realize what you are good at, then it is time for you to capitalize on your efforts. You can be known as an expert in your industry by writing books, articles, columns and newsletters. Everything you do will develop your talents and increase your chances to succeed.

For example my father in law is a trained carpenter where he uses his talents to fix doors, and build houses while making sure people live in a comfortable environment. You can have a natural or trained ability that can lead you to start businesses, build careers or change lives.

You are reading this article because of networking. I was on-line networking while reading Robert Lee’s profile. I saw that he was a Director of Events. I sent him a message and we began to discuss opportunities on how we could work together in the future. After trading contact information one of the results was an opportunity to speak at an event he put together.

No matter where you come from there is an opportunity inside you that is waiting to come out. Find out what you can do and become great at it. On your way to the top don’t forget about others who can also benefit from networking with you.

We all have the skills to pay the bills. I hope you figure out “How To Use Your Skills” because my slogan is “Use Your Skills or Someone Else Will”.

How To FORGIVE

by Encouragement Speaker Derrick Hayes

Do you know someone that is holding a grudge? Are you the one that is feeling let down?

It is hard to move to from one point to another when you are bitter. This article is help us all find ways to forgive. A breakthrough is on the way.

Before we lose valuable friendship let’s fact check, open our mouths, respect each other, give time, initiate conversation, visit if possible and engage our relationships.

(F) Fact check. Find out what really happened and if you should even be mad. I was recently watching Oprah where the world witnessed that Whoopi and Oprah did not talk for years because they both felt neither one liked the other. He said She said is what can keep a relationship dead. No matter how much it hurts seek the truth.

(O) Open your mouth. If you’re wrong find a way to express it through email, call or in person. Recently my daughter something I said the wrong way. I saw how it bothered her so I called her and apologized to explain what my intentions were. After she heard my side we were able to move on.

(R) Respect their wishes. After you apologize they may not want to be bothered. You have to understand that what you took years to build can be destroyed in a few seconds. Love and war are never fair. Take mental notes on how they want to be treated and respect their decision.

(G) Give it time. Mending broken fences can take a day, week, year or lifetime. Ask if you can call them in a few days or check back with them in a few weeks. If it is meant to be it will be. Sometimes we have to take our lives off rush avenue and keep our behinds on hush avenue.

(I) Initiate next conversation. If you get the opportunity to stay in touch by all means stay in touch. You never know who you can help and who can help you. Friends are hard to find. Reach out by letter, card or place a call to follow up with them and see if and how you all can keep the communication door open.

(V) Visit if allowed. There is no better moment of clarity then to see the look in someone’s eyes. You can hide emotions on the phone but in person you will know immediately if you are truly wanted. Studies will suggest that over 90% of all communication is nonverbal.

(E) Engage the relationship. If you get the chance the chance to get back in the game make sure you play ball. Remember this, if you don’t do it somebody else will. Anyone can sit on the couch and say ouch. Enjoy your city and find things that your friend, spouse, associate or lover can do together.

Children as well as adults are loosing relationships because we won’t FORGIVE. There are circumstances where have to move on. Hang in there if you can. Remember we are supposed to be here for each other.
