What Can Airport Restrooms Teach Us About Acknowledgement?
Lately I have been in a lot of airports.
In some of the ladies' rooms,
fresh flowers in vases sit on the counters by the sinks.
This unexpected touch always brightens up the place.
Like the flowers, we can
change and brighten our environment.
A welcoming smile,
a good morning greeting,
an offer to support a busy colleague
are ways to brighten other peoples' worlds.
Sending an e-card of thanks or
putting a post it note expressing appreciation
on a co-worker's desk can trigger a smile.
These gestures are easy to overlook
because they seem so basic
or we are so busy.
Especially in these challenging times,
unexpected acknowledgements
can mean a lot.
You don't have to send flowers
for people to blossom.
What can you do to create
a positive environment and
brighten someone's world today?
