Step into the Spotlight! Day

Step into the Spotlight Day is an annual American holiday dedicated to all the people who are always, or want to be, in the spotlight! It’s a great day for new victories and important decisions. The holiday is celebrated on April 8.

History

The history of the holiday begins in 2008, when Tsufit published the book *Step Into The Spotlight! A Guide to Getting Noticed*. It contains many useful practical tips that not only teach you how to be the center of attention but also how to become successful in business. Without confidence in public, success in any business is difficult to achieve—and that is a fact!

This day also encourages people to devote more time to learning important skills, both general and specialized (in a particular line of work). The need for highly skilled workers increased dramatically after WWII, when the economy needed explosive growth. With the advent of the Internet and the mass computerization of society, obtaining the necessary skills, education, and personal development became much easier. Numerous online education platforms and video courses have emerged, allowing people to learn almost anything.

Interesting Facts
