Leadership Tip
With Love on Valentine's Day
With Valentine’s Day approaching
I have been watching morning TV segments
teaching men subjects ranging from
Lingerie 101 to buying flowers and
gift alternatives to a box of chocolates.
Hallmark, Godiva, and the floral and jewelry
industries
are prime beneficiaries of the day
in which we are expected to profess our love.
What would happen, though,
if we expressed our love and appreciation
on the other 364 days of the year?
Recently, clients have expressed their
appreciation and joy for having me on their team
at the end of a coaching session and also
in the middle of an all day strategy session.
A friend was ecstatic and surprised
when she opened her refrigerator and found
blueberries that her husband had bought.
These unexpected actions mean more
than a message that a dozen roses or
a singing Valentine card could deliver.
They are unanticipated, everyday gestures
and expressions that show caring and appreciation.
We can bring love and joy into people’s lives
without being reminded by TV commercials
or billboards. It doesn’t have to be the perfect
action or “right” conversation.
All it takes is a conscious choice and
turning it into action!
