Synopsis
Everyone can recall an instance where they experienced a prompting the strong need to act but didn't. Kody Bateman is no exception except that he took an ignored prompting and turned it into a company and a philosophy for a successful life. Years ago, Kody ignored a prompting to say goodbye to his older brother when moving across the country. Two months later, Kody received the tragic news that his brother had been killed. Kody promised from that day forward to act on his promptings and help others to do the same. The experience led Kody on a twenty-year journey to help himself and others act on their promptings, and his SendOutCards business lets people do just that by sending greeting cards and gifts to family and friends, building relationships and forging strong bonds. But also on his journey, Kody discovered a personal-development philosophy that leads to personal and professional fulfillment. A master storyteller, Kody uses stories to illustrate the significance of acting on your feelings the inner promptings, that inner voice that describes your uniqueness and significance, and the outer promptings, the impulses to reach out in kindness to those around you. Promptings guide you to your genius within, helping you make the difference only you can make in the world.
