Description

When host Sondra Doty's friend writes a book, she pays attention; because it is no small task to add the title of "author" to one's name. That is why Joe Beckman of Human Connection Matters & Happy Caveman is our guest for episode 22, "Just Look Up."

Joe had shared his infectious energy, humor and passion in more than 1,000 schools-positively impacting north of 1 million people worldwide. He resides in Minneapolis with his exceptional wife, jess and three children. 

On Oct 20, Joe launches his book, Just Look Up: Five Life-Saving Phrases Kid/Human Needs to Hear. Pre-orders are open now, and WTYM encourages you to pick up a book for you and/or a friend. https://justlookupbook.com/

In this episode, Sondra and Joe scratch the surface of the details in the book. Joe's elevator pitch for this book. "Combining humor, authenticity, heart and soul, international speaker Joe Beckman shared five specific phrases he believes all kids (and adults) need to hear. The result is a refreshing, authentic, and down-to-earth approach to finding self-worth (Love YOU), resilience (Push Through), confidence (Fail On), joy (Yeah Toast!), and maybe most importantly human connection (Just Look Up.)

Action Items from Joe for listeners:

1. "A message that needs to move from your heart to your hands. Inspiration is one thing but doing something with it is another."
2. The challenge is to find time where you can make another human-being feel special. Be Patsy! "Joey you are a special boy." 
3. Put Down the screens and separate from the tech. To see where our kindness and compassion can be used in our little corner of the world, open your eyes and look up! 
4. Smile at someone, send a kind email to a teacher or have some extra moments being present with your children.
