First David, thank you so much for writing this. I will be sharing it widely.

"Leave us a comment and share how you make sure to give people the encouragement they need."

The word "encouragement" has been front and center for me lately. It is SO EASY to give encouragement. It doesn't cost a thing, and is so easy, with some practice.

I would say for some people it might be a decision they have to make, to see what is going right, and express appreciation or encouragement -- to the barista who just made  you a great latte or the grocery clerk who double-bagged your groceries without you having to ask.

I believe the more we practice it is EVERY aspect of our lives, the easier it will be at work, and as a leader.

Thank you again, David, for bringing this to the forefront.
