Episode #31: The Difference Gratitude Makes with Michele Bailey

Have you ever felt unacknowledged for your work or contributions?

What did that do to your motivation, engagement, and commitment to producing results? I talk with Michele Bailey about the necessary and sometimes forgotten role of offering gratitude to others and the transformative impact it can have. While you may be familiar with the practice of acknowledging what we are grateful for in the form of a Gratitude Journal, this is about turning the attention onto others and how small gestures of gratitude go a long way. As you acknowledge the efforts of others, you will feel the benefits too!

Here is what we discussed:

  • Always, reflection is powerful and necessary

  • How do you make people sticky?  Because sticky people stay!

  • The interconnection between personal goals, work goals and engagement

  • Push gratitude outwards to build deep relationships with those around you

  • Look for and acknowledge the creative acts of others

  • The pathway to filling up others ‘fuel tank’ for creativity
