It’s pretty easy to improve someone’s day

Colleagues,

I’ve become increasingly intentional about trying to say nice things to people.

A couple week’s ago I was corresponding with someone in a big school district who was helping me get set up in their vendor system.

She was very helpful and timely, so I let her know how much I appreciated her kindness and quality of work.

It took me 90 seconds to write that message.

She responded with several kind statements but here’s what jumped out at me:

“…and this message was especially needed and appreciated today.” (emphasis added)

90 seconds to help someone who might have been struggling to have a better day and feel valued and seen.

And guess what? So many of us (yes, me included) are struggling right now.

Be kind, be intentional with a warm thought and show appreciation. It is so much more important and impactful than you think.

Cheers!

Frederick
