The Sunday Scaries can be real and there IS a way to combat it with generosity! Promise!
If you're dreading the week ahead, just know that you're not alone. I'm excited for my week ahead (More on that later this week.) but that hasn't always been the case throughout my career. If you're human and if you work with humans, at some point, the Sunday Scaries are going to find their way to you!
Here's is just 1 way to combat those scaries for the week ahead:
Start thinking about people you will encounter at work this week. Take some time and really think about something you admire, respect or like about each of them them. Trust me, we really can find something in everyone. Write that down.
Now as you go into the week, be searching for a time to share this compliment with them. 1:1. And give them an example to support your compliment.
Something like:
"Carol, I was thinking about you and how you are always so kind to all of the staff - to everyone - not just your team. And I want to take the time to let you know I really admire that about you!"
That's it. It was free. It took no time at all.
And I promise it will make the BOTH of you feel better.
We'll chat more about generosity in the workplace in the days ahead, but for now...I've got a flight to catch with my son! More on that soon!
With Jenerosity,
Jen
