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!)?
