Every once in a while we meet someone who makes a tremendous difference in our lives. These people are not necessarily leading a noteworthy cause (a big “D” difference), rather they are “ordinary” people who affect the people they touch - making a difference with a small “d.” When we're affected by these people, we know they've made our lives, and the world, a better place.
Do you know someone like that?
We want to learn from these “difference makers” so we can make more of a difference ourselves - and so we can teach others about what it takes. To do so, we need 15-20 minutes of your help to answer a few questions about someone who has “made a difference with a small d.”
In recognition of your time and effort for completing the survey:
- Everyone who does the survey can download a set of EQ screensavers from our Handle With Care series (see below right)
- We will give a $250 donation to a charity chosen by one respondent selected at random.
- Every tenth person who completes the survey will be invited to take the Six Seconds Emotional Intelligence Test at no cost (a $45 value).
- On the survey, you can indicate if you would like Todd to share the results of the research with you.
To help us all live our noble goals, we will disseminate what we learn about making a difference. The plan is to develop research reports, a book, and a training program about making a difference.
| In the past few years I have been frustrated by my own inability to make the kind of difference I want in the world. I want to believe in Anabel Jensen's idea that the way we change the world is "a person at a time," but I don't know if it works or how to do it. This project is a way for us to understand and share what lets people make a real difference in the lives of the people they touch.
Please tell all your friends and colleagues about this study. We would like to get a 1000 completed surveys by November 15. |
Thank you for participating in the MAKING A dIFFERENCE PROJECT!
