A talk on gratitude and connection at work. The speaker shares personal stories about expressing appreciation and greeting coworkers to build positive workplace culture.
So the second thing I want you to think about, and I would call this a tool, is gratitude. Genuinely express appreciation to those around you. Whether it's thanking a coworker for a job well done or acknowledging a friend's support in like a time that you needed it, those small moments of gratitude can form big bridges of connection. The lack that I hear the word thank you in our cultures, in our organizations, it's. I so wish we could kind of go back a little bit in the old school world, which I think maybe in an AI powered, AI assisted digital, fast paced, we might get there. But like, could you just do me a favor? Could you open the door for somebody today? All right, so finally I want you to think about shared experiences. Actually, you know what? No. I want everybody to realize that this can be super easy. And what I mean by that is when I first got my first agency job, I would go in and by the way, I. I didn't do this because I was trying to hack something. I did this because it was natively who I am. But I would go into the agency and I would walk around and I would say good morning to every person at their desk. I didn't think it was a big deal, just good morning. Good morning. Morning, Patrick. Morning, Eric. Do you know, 12 years later, I was in a meeting and this guy starts to tell this story about how he. This place that he used to work, and this guy would come in and he would say good morning and how that was light in his day.
