what to be thankful for at work (and it's not what you think)
|
Y'know, Reader, of the hundreds of articles I've written on RedCapeRevolution.com, I'm always surprised to see which one consistently ranks as the 2nd most popular ever. It's called "6 Things to Be Thankful for at Work (And 3 May Surprise You)." You can read it HERE.
I'm grateful people keep finding and reading this post. But sometimes wish I was sitting next to that person who's googling "things to be thankful for at work." 'Cause I worry about them. 📿 I worry that they may be thinking "Oh, see, even though I'm not happy/fulfilled/feeling successful, I SHOULD just shut up and be thankful for my job" (psst: that's not what the article says--not even close. ) Or maybe they're looking for reasons to NOT dive into the real work--the hard but important work--the work to decide what's next, to take back control of their life at work. Sooooooooo, my dear Reader-- As the thankful season approaches here where I live in the US, I'm reminded that we can be grateful for what we have AND still want something to change in our life at work. One doesn't cancel out the other. So if you're grateful, that's great. Hit REPLY and tell me about it, so we can celebrate together. 🍗 And if you want more/different/better, that's great too. We've got lots of tools to help, including my book, which I hope you read and share with a friend. As for me, I'm grateful for you, today and every day. Thanks for being here and wearing your red cape, always. Always, Darcy
Oh, I won't pop into your email next Thursday, which is US Thanksgiving Day 🦃. If you're celebrating, enjoy your family, and friends, and know I'm thankful for you. 😇 --D |

BBBLLLTHHHHWWWWEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! (That's the sound of me blowing my New Year's celebration horn for you, Reader.🎉) Yes, the clock's ticked down on 2024 and 2025 has elbowed her way in. But before we completely turn the corner, let's stop. 🛑 Let's take a look back. Wait--what? Yep, if you're a longtime reader of my work here at RedCapeRevolution.com, you know I'm not a big fan of wading through the past. I'm more interested in the choices we make NOW. The decisions we're making TODAY. The...
Before we shut down for a few weeks to enjoy the holidays, I decided to write you a little poem, Reader. Here goes: To my beloved readers, my clients, and friends,Here's a heartfelt message as this season ends.The challenges you've faced; the victories won 🏆,Together, we've grown--great work is now done. You’ve led with courage, you’ve stretched and tried,Navigating storms, taken in stride.In the moments of doubt, you’ve found your own ways,Turning dark, cloudy skies into much brighter...
Every December, Reader, millions of professionals around the world agonize over one simple question: Should I give gifts to my coworkers? It's tricky to answer. But I'll try anyway. Here's my mental model for giving gifts at work. First of all, everybody appreciates appreciation. If you've had a great experience working with someone this year--or even if it's been a little bumpy but you've welcomed how they've shown up--consider some form of appreciation. I'm not a fan of giving food or drink...
