“Before you leave work or go to sleep at night, give someone a W.O.E, a Word Of Encouragement”

As with any New Year, resolutions are being made across the globe for 2008. More often than not, countless individuals vow for a change. Be it spiritually, financially or mentally, goals cannot be accomplished without the encouragement to take the necessary steps. With a guiding hand and powerful words, encouragement speaker Derrick Hayes is here to help.

From the work place to the church pews, people need encouragement to propel them to the God-given success they already possess. While it’s inside already, sometimes an extra push is needed. Bro Hayes strives to provide that.

He has the unique, effective talent of composing Derricknyms from countless letters. His critically acclaimed first book by the same name (first print 2000) has been utilized in corporate, religious and scholastic settings. One of the most frequently used Derricknym is W.O.E. Derricknyms can be ordered by going to www.Derricknyms.com.

He always tells people to make sure they give others a W.O.E. daily. Hayes says, “In the general context, a woe is a problem.” In the Derricknym fashion, it is a Word of Encouragement.

Hayes is a highly sought-after speaker nationwide. He has been featured as the keynote speaker at several events sponsored by such entities as the U.S. Department of Commerce, Auburn University (Ala.), Montgomery Chamber of Commerce, Tennessee State University, Bowie State University, Georgia Power and others.

As a featured writer, Hayes has had articles and columns appear in several publications and on many Web sites. Hayes has written for Next Step Magazine, Black Emerge.com, the Anointed News Journal, Selfgrowth.com, CollegeRecruiter.com and others. Most recently, Hayes has been a contributor to the thought-provoking book, Can Hip-Hop Be Holy?

Every Monday Derrick Hayes delivers The W.O.R.D. to faithful subscribers online. You can sign up for The W.O.R.D. at www.MondaysWORD.com and share The W.O.R.D. with others.
