I am a huge proponent of learning the art of expressing your appreciation for others. It sounds simple, but it can truly have a profound impact on your own mindset, and on the lives of the people around you—especially at work.
It’s exciting to catch someone doing something wonderful and to express to them our own joy about witnessing it. It’s a pleasure! And it creates immediate friendship—that feeling of them being seen.
It’s also making an active decision to take charge of how we want to show up, and how we want to feel. This is a way to take charge of our culture and radically transform our experience of our professional environment and our life. Simply expressing your care and appreciation for someone at work is YOU taking charge of your work culture. It’s like saying, “I see you…. I want the best for you… I’m on your side.”
We can each defiantly choose to bring goodness into the world, no matter what is happening. We can all bring more of the human element to our work and take care of each other. We can make it feel good being at work. And we can even make it fun!
Plus, when we choose to care for others, it lights us up! When we bring our love, care, and kindness to others we feel better. We feel radiant. And having this mindset changes everything.

Leaders Who Lead With Heart
The greatest leaders I’ve had the privilege of working with as a keynote speaker lead with heart.
They bring genuine care, presence, and appreciation to every interaction—and it shows.
These leaders foster vibrant cultures where people feel seen, valued, and united. They create environments where challenges aren’t faced alone, but together, as a team.
When we take the time to truly be present with those around us, we ignite something powerful:
✨ Authentic relationships
✨ Deep loyalty
✨ Unshakable connections
It’s leadership in action.
It reminds me of the saying, “Sometimes you have to go slow to go fast.” Slowing down to show care may feel counterintuitive when you want to push projects forward, but it builds the kind of foundation with people that stands the test of time.
And honestly? It’s just a beautiful way to live.
So today, let's Be the One℠ who brings presence, care, and connection to those around us.
It changes everything.
