In an earlier blog I wrote a few months ago, I mentioned the CEO peer group organization, Vistage International. It's an organization that puts together primarily CEO's for the purpose of providing executive coaching and peer support. I've spent quite a bit of time so far this year speaking to Vistage groups all over the country, and I have many more already booked throughout the rest of the year. It's been a great opportunity for me, and one that began with the recommendation of a friend/client. Today I sent a thank you note to that person letting them know the impact they had.
There's a book my wife read last year (I can't remember the name) by a guy who wrote a thank you note every day for a year. Apparently it had an enormous impact on him and his outlook on life. Thankfulness, or gratitude, in fact, is often mentioned as one of the "secrets" to a happy life. As a part of this kindness project, I've been trying to increase my awareness of gratitude and trying to remember to express it more frequently. Thank you notes are a good step in that direction.
