The Wristband on Your Wrist Says A Lot About You
That wristband on your wrist can tell people a lot about the causes and values that you support. A silicone bracelet is a fine way to add something fun to your jewelry collection that makes a statement about what you believe in. These wristbands are made from silicone or other rubber products, and there are lots available to support any cause that you believe in. While they had been around for about 20 years, they were not popular. However, when Lance Armstrong used them to very successfully promote cancer awareness, other organizations jumped on the bandwagon and have been raising funds and awareness about their organizations by selling embossed or printed silicon wristbands.
Wearing a wristband on your wrist that promotes something you believe in can break the ice on some occasions. An insurance agent who works with seniors explained to a group of retirees in a meeting that he wore a silicone bracelet with words inscribed on it that said “do no harm.” While that is the oath that physicians take, he felt that by wearing it daily, he would remind himself of the trust and faith that his clients put in him to do the best job he could.
If you are in the services industry or in a position where you need to build trust, put a wristband on your wrist that tells people what your core values are, and you may find that people give you more credibility faster, which is so important to relationship building, especially if your work entails managing their finances, their health, or working with them in their homes as a care giver. It’s important that the wristband on your wrist convey compassion and respect for others. The silicone wristbands are inexpensive, and the little bit that they cost will serve you well in building bridges toward others.
