As we approach Thanksgiving in the US and the Holidays of Christmas and New Years around the world, I have reflected a lot recently on the power of gratitude and thanks. I have decided to highlight three popular posts from the past on thankfulness. I hope you enjoy – there is great power in the attitude of gratitude!
1. Inspirational Teamwork Story – Something to think about…
Here is one of our most popular postings ever. Need a story to help your team cultivate more of the attitude of gratitude with each other? Based on a true story of a jet fighter pilot who had failed to recognize who had packed his parachute many years ago after being shot down in war. Listen to how a chance encounter years later gives this pilot a very different perspective on who packs each of our parachutes.

3. Be a Grateful Leader – Thank You and You’re Welcome Goes a Long Ways!
Written by one of our guest bloggers Gayle Lasalle, this post was a hit with many of you. One of the stories Gayle shares is about a time she was having lunch with her 3-year old Granddaughter and her mom. The Granddaughter noticed that after saying “thank you,” to the waiter, he failed to acknowledge her with a “you’re welcome.” The point Gayle makes is if a 3-year old can take notice of this, you can bet others will as well.
