The book, How to Win Friends & Influence People, is often second only to the Bible in sales. Dale Carnegie outlines – in very simple steps and examples – how to be nice without letting yourself get walked on.
Here are six traits kind people of the world share:

Become interested in other people.
Smile.
A person’s name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language.
Be a good listener and encourage people to talk about themselves.
Ask questions about the other person’s interests.
Sincerely make the other person feel important.

The Coach asks . . . are you looking hard enough to find something complimentary about another person?
