The Main Idea
Everyone has "defining moments" in their lives – intensely meaningful experiences which stand out clearly and distinctly in your memory. Many of these arise from chance encounters but it doesn't have to be that way. What if you could make more defining moments happen on purpose – for your customers, your family and your employees?The reality is you can engineer and create more defining moments if you take the time and effort to invest in creating them. All you have to do is build them from combinations of these four elements: The more defining moments you engineer and create, the better the experience you will be delivering for the customers you serve, the students you hope to inspire or even the kids you raise.
