Gratitude Spotlight
Each day, choose one person, experience, or thing to deeply appreciate.
Reflect on why it matters to you and, if possible, express your gratitude directly to that person or write it down for focused clarity.
ACTIONABLE TIP:
Implement a straightforward yet powerful "Thank You" strategy by encouraging your team to regularly show gratitude to colleagues and clients.
This could be through targeted personalized notes, shoutouts in meetings, or acknowledgment emails.
It’s a no-cost way to foster a positive work culture, enhance teamwork, and build appreciation within the business.
