Showing the Love this Valentine’s Day

While we often don’t think about the work place on Valentine’s Day, it can be a great day to “Show The Love” as they say in sales.

Why not take a moment to appreciate your boss.  What do you most appreciate about him/her as it pertains to your career?  Do they have your back?  Let you take risks and expand your skill set?  Work on projects to give you visibility to new areas of your company?

How might you recognize your employees?  Perhaps they always have a good attitude which creates a pleasant work environment?  Are they “steady hands” which keep plugging a long, not doing anything particularly special but are so crucial to keeping things running smoothly?

And what about your peers?  Do they have a great sense of humor which makes it fun to come to work?  Share what’s going on in their areas of responsibility to “keep you in the know”?  Are nice lunch companions, helping you to decompress mid-day and able to come back refreshed and able to focus?

Consider sharing words of appreciation with those who surround you day-in and day-out, and see what happens!

If you take the challenge, please post what you experience.

To your success,
