August 2008: Where Credit Is Due

In Stephen M.R. Covey’s recent book, The Speed of Trust, he suggests that showing loyalty is one of the key behaviors in increasing self-respect and gaining others’ trust. Giving credit where credit is due produces trust dividends – Covey’s term – and good feelings all around. Some people do it naturally, but most of us need a reminder. 

I’ll go first: I want to give credit to my talented website designer, who not only created my site but has maintained it over the last six years, uploading these exercises each month. I am a loyal fan and booster of Shelley Frost and her many-faceted creative services business (www.EnlightenedArts.com). Huzzah, Shelley!

Now you:  Where do your loyalties lie? To whom will you give credit in this next month?
