As Thanksgiving approaches, it's the perfect time to take a step back and reflect on the things we are thankful for in our roles and those who are with us on this journey.
Thank you Elena for this post! This is so important, and we shouldn't need to wait for a special day!
For those with Microsoft Teams, Viva insights allows you to get reminders to praise people on specific days, so I made it a friday thing and every Friday I'd choose a person and publicly be grateful for them in our channel. It's something so easy to do! Teams creates nice cards on Teams, which you can personalize!
And it does wonders to your collaboration and motivation from the team that works with you (I praised regularly Devs & Designers, one or two every week).
This is a well-timed post about Thanksgiving in the US this week. We must cultivate gratitude, and step back to do as you describe. When you are rushing to get things done, it is harder to have gratitude. Just stepping back for a few minutes and consciously think about it, can really be a mood booster and improve the relationships around you.

I love your approach Francisca!
Sincerely, these type of activities should be a habit for people in this role. 👌🏻
