The Age of Enlightenment changed the way mankind thought about life, culture and human relationships. In her evocative new book, The Power of Acknowledgment, Judith W. Umlas unleashes the concept of an Age of Acknowledgment we can all help bring about.
In a time of celebrity worship and self-absorption, Judith's well-reasoned and heart-felt appeal, is so counterculture as to be revolutionary. Imagine, as does the author, people acknowledging each other's humanity, accomplishments, talents and wisdom on a continuous basis. It might just catch on. And wouldn't that be something!
Judith W. Umlas is the author of The Power of Acknowledgment, an inspirational, motivational and action-oriented book which drives home the need for acknowledgment. It also applies these principles to leadership skills, growth and development in the workplace, as well as in everyday life. Ms. Umlas has trained thousands of people on the Power of Acknowledgment, including executives of the NYC Police Department, the U.S. Department of Justice, the World Bank and hundreds of corporations and government agencies - all to outstanding reviews.
In teaching the value of acknowledgment, participants from her seminars learn the seven major principles of acknowledgment, develop key skills for delivering effective and authentic acknowledgment, identify the vast number of people worthy of acknowledgment, and establish an understanding that acknowledgment is a key factor in developing employee loyalty and engagement, improving relationships and enhancing self-worth. They put this learning to immediate use in the session and following it. Additionally, participants of Judith's seminars engage in individual and group exercises enhancing participants' capabilities in the areas of delivering and accepting acknowledgment, team building, leadership and effective communications.
