Gratitude for your Team
As we step into a month often centered on gratitude, it’s the perfect time to pause and reflect on the people who make up your “team.” Whether in your workplace, your community, or your personal life, none of us succeed alone.
Think about the people around you. How can you express gratitude to each?
🏈 Your teammates: The people in the trenches with you, collaborating, brainstorming, problem-solving, and pushing through the tough days. Who can you thank for showing up, staying positive, or making your work a little lighter?
🎯 Your coach: Maybe it’s a manager, mentor, or friend who challenges you to grow, gives you honest feedback, or reminds you of your potential when you forget. How can you show appreciation for their guidance?
🎉 Your cheerleaders: The ones who celebrate your wins, believe in you, and remind you to keep going. When was the last time you told them how much their encouragement means?
👀 Your spectators: The quiet observers who notice your progress — sometimes without you realizing it. A simple “thank you for noticing” can go a long way.
🔥 Your opponents: Even the people who challenge you, disagree with you, or push you out of your comfort zone deserve gratitude. They sharpen your skills and strengthen your resilience.
This week, take a moment to thank your team — every part of it. Send a note, make a call, or simply pause in appreciation. Gratitude doesn’t just lift others — it recharges you.
Here’s to a November filled with gratitude, teamwork, and growth.
