Rusty Crossland’s book, ARTisms: The Words, Phrases, And Emotions That Started A Movement And Changed One Of The Largest Industries In The World, highlights the transformative power of this philosophy. Inspired by the teachings of Art Williams, Crossland shares how fostering authentic relationships can create extraordinary success.
At its core, making others feel valued goes beyond surface-level recognition. It’s about listening actively, appreciating unique contributions, and building trust. This approach isn’t just a “feel-good” strategy—it’s a leadership essential. In ARTisms, real-life stories demonstrate how ordinary people achieved extraordinary outcomes by focusing on connection and authenticity. From motivating teams to revolutionizing an industry, the lessons shared in the book show that success grows where people feel seen and respected.

By making others feel special, you foster loyalty, ignite passion, and create a ripple effect of positivity that transforms businesses and lives.
