Impact: Inspiring Motivational Powerful Acronyms for Cognitive Thinking

by Jen Du Plessis

Acronyms and abbreviations have become a part of everyday dialect. They are used in both personal and professional communication to drive an idea home and make it easier to remember while also saving time. In a world of more readily available information at times the sheer wealth of ideas to which we are exposed can be overwhelming. Condensing a concept to a handful of letters alleviates the stress of combining individual ideas into one. The goal of this first volume is to share thoughts, ideas and concepts that will have a profound impact on your daily life, whether business or professional. You will find that one simple acronym can make the difference and have the IMPACT you have been looking for but were struggling to find until now.

Featuring chapters by Alec Stern, A.N.M.N.N by Alec Stern, Moneeka Sawyer, Chris Naugle, Kerstin O’Shields, James Dentley, Lou Edwards, Bill Walsh, Steve Sims, Regeline “Gigi” Sabbat, Shannon Parsons, Susan Zimmerman, Chip Hopper, Dr. Rolanda Schmidt “Dr. Ro”, Colleen Biggs, Theresa Goss, Paul Spiers, Sallie Wagner, Rob Angel, Allison Larsen, Paul Finck, Brooke Heym, Christoff J.

Poignant and Powerful

I’ve found the best go-to book ever! IMPACT’s A to Z acronyms are filled with practical lessons on how to attain financial success, find true bliss, develop confidence and competence, communicate effectively, create joint ventures, and breathe powerfully for health and longevity. Dr. Rolanda Schmidt’s L.E.A.D. informs us on true leadership and Author Jen Du Plessis helps us regenerate S.P.A.R.K. in our life. Filled with humor, authenticity, and examples on how to make things “happen”, I am convinced that IMPACT will drive me to accomplish successful goals - and fast! I love, love, love IMPACT!

Having retired from 35 years of teaching, acronyms were abundant. I loved creating them with kids to enhance learning! The motivational acronyms in this book present successful and practical lessons to bring financial and personal success. Having owned 2 businesses in my lifetime, this book would have helped me tremendously. As a retired teacher, I am drawn to Patti’s D.A.S.H. It’s a great visual and prods me to still be daring, but practical!

Impactful & Insightful

The clear foundation in which each writer shares their nugget of knowledge was intriguing. Kept me wanting to know more about the message that was conveyed. A must read for when you need some inspiration to get you going.

Inspirational at least

We all hear opinions, objectives, and assessments in many different ways. The leaders in this book all have the same message. Leadership, communications, and resilience. They just say it differently. Take a peek, you might just find what you're looking for.

Great read

Love this book, particularly Sallie's M.S.G. chapter. Her work has helped me revamp my way of thinking and how I address those road blocks in life.
