The Power of sincere appreciation.

Have you taken the time to appreciate a coworker today?

It is easy to get so caught up in getting our work done that we fail to notice the little things that others do around us. So, take a breath, put your internal task list aside for a moment, and take some time to notice others around you. Take a moment and tell them how much you appreciate them. It doesn't have to be contrived and should be heartfelt. This must be genuine appreciation. People can tell the difference between sincerity and an attempt to manipulate or patronize them. It doesn't take much time from your working day to express a little sincere gratitude for those around you.

Who doesn't like to be appreciated at work for their efforts in the office? I know I do! You will find that the more you do this, the better it feels both for you and your coworker. You will see that it adds a little spring in their step and brightens their day. We all need that every once in a while. This will go a long way to enhance your and their positive mental state. This small action will improve upon existing friendships, create new friendships, boost your network, and improve cooperation in any of your work efforts.
