Celebrate the Adequate

Leaders, let's celebrate the adequate.

During the darkest seasons of my life, I felt like I was "not enough" in just about everything. I was just so weighed down with grief and stress: not the parent, not the partner, not the professional that I wanted to be.

It meant so much when someone cheered on my small wins.

This can sound like:
-"I appreciated your comments in today's meeting"

-"That was a great email; you really described the problem well."

-"You really made that client feel welcome"

Who can benefit from your encouragement today (hint: everyone!)?
