Mike
Carruthers:
Do
you know the difference between appreciation and gratitude? Noelle
Nelson:
Gratitude is something you do after the fact. Somebody does something
nice or says something nice and you feel grateful- and that's a wonderful and
beautiful thing. Noelle
Nelson, author of the book, The
Power Of Appreciation in Business. Appreciation
is something you do before the fact. In other words, you think actively about
the value of a person or thing before they've done something nice or something
desirable. So, for example: you catch an employee in the act of doing something
right. So, you don't sit around and wait for something to be completed or something
nice to be done, to say, " Great job." You actually, actively notice
and recognize value all the way along. Noelle
says it's been proven that creating a culture of appreciation in any business
is good for the bottom line. But, there's more… It
actually has huge benefits to you when you're doing the appreciating. What's been
demonstrated is that your heart rate smoothes out and improves when you are doing
the appreciating. Your brain actually functions much better when you are doing
the appreciating. And
appreciation can work wonders in other parts of your life. Matter
of fact if you have a troubled relationship and you want to turn it around. Just
start valuing everything and everybody about your partner and your relationship.
And I promise you, because I've seen it done so many times, your relationship
will become beautiful. Try it! At
