If you act enthusiastic, you'll be enthusiastic

I was standing outside of Masco Corporation, a strong community supporter, having just completed a meeting there along with one of the communities tireless champions -- Ralph Nichols. For those that don't know, Ralph runs the Ralph Nichols Group which provides Dale Carnegie Training to thousands of local residents.

As I was heading off to a key gathering regarding United Way, Ralph reminded me of the Dale Carnegie rule --- "If you act enthusiastic, you'll be enthusiastic." Simply, don't be afraid to bring forward passion that resides within.

I often get to see great passion for our community: authentic caring about the quality of life for others. Ralph is one of those individuals who works most every day to make things better and stronger for others. Whether it is with United Way, or working with local youth as described by LookUpDetroit. Ralph is a champion of others and community.
