Movie of the Week: Hang on to those towels!
By: Jan BolickDon’t throw in the towel! Don’t let your colleagues or teammates do it either!
Unless of course there’s no reason to hang on.
But if the goal or cause is still important…
…just a few words like the ones in this movie may be just what’s needed to help everybody hang on and get 2 goal (or at least closer to it).
Get the popcorn, Milk Duds and Raisinettes and watch this two minute movie.*

Don’t worry - you don’t have to deliver your words of encouragement with the power or eloquence of a movie star. Just a few heartfelt words that show you notice their struggle, support their efforts and are cheering for their success because you really care.
What an impact it could have.
So much to gain…little or nothing to lose.
