I didn’t deserve it, but today 30+ ex-colleagues DMed me to tell me variations of “you’re awesome“ and “I admire you“. 😍
Hearing you’re cared for and that you’ve had an impact feels great.
I needed those words today.
Why do we wait?
There have been times in the past when I needed those words too. Times where I’ve felt scared, useless, or past it.
When has somebody made your day? Maybe with just a tiny ‘Hell yeah 💪’, the perfect 🙌 Slack reaction, or a ‘I always look forward to your input’ DM.
Moving forward
Let’s be lavish with our praise in the moment, every day. Give people micro moments of positivity and praise.
Before that person disappears.
Maybe in the exact moment they need it.
