ExchangeEveryDay Past Issues

"Gratitude is a powerful tool for promoting positive well-being, optimism, and energy in the workplace. … A genuine 'thank you' is an inner acknowledgement to another human being that they matter. It’s a small act with a big ripple effect that confirms a basic truth: we all depend on each other; we're all interconnected," says a newsletter from The Cult Branding Company.

"Many leaders have an overachieving personality. They hold a subconscious fear that if they feel or express gratitude it will undermine their constant drive for improvement in themselves and others. The reality, however, is that feelings of gratitude and appreciation don’t compromise progress; they fuel it."

"What if everyone in your organization was able to cultivate a little more gratitude each day? Might your work environment be very different? With greater appreciation and connection, might your corporate culture be on an entirely different trajectory?"
