"DELIGHTING IN DIFFERENCES"
Everyone is the author and playwright of the story of their life. Life is a gift. Everyone's gift is different. Efficient communication minimizes differences and enriches the gift of each communicator.
The 3 C's of efficient communication:
Comfort...It's easier to work with someone who is comfortable with themselves and with the ideas they represent.
Cooperation...Teammates help themselves by helping each other.
Compassion...Show me the person who has compassion for his coworkers and I'll show you the person people like to work with.
Two heads are better than one, as long as the two heads think differently.
In this presentation Al Foxx speaks on Delighting in the Differences of those who have disabilities and those who do not.
Mr. Foxx also has a presentation for Black History Month/Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day that discusses Diversity.

...How you feel about yourself is more powerful than having strong muscles.
...How to be happy with yourself and others.
...How to see problems as challenges not calamities.
...The value of a good laugh and a sense of humor.
..."Life is either a series of challenges or calamities, it's your choice."
..."Your choices will either make you or break you."
..."One choice at a time, you're either building your castle or your coffin."
..."Living the good life is a state of mind. To have the best, be your best."
..."One of the best things about life is that you can choose whether you want to be a winner or a loser."
