It’s never too late to spread the ripple of gratitude

  • Posted on May 5, 2024

Gratitude is the memory of the heart, and today – why not honor those who have left an indelible mark on your journey?

I wouldn’t be where I am without the teachers, mentors, and bosses who believed in me, challenged me, and pushed me to reach new heights.

To those who have been my guiding stars – they know who they are. I’ve already thanked them personally and publicly.ย Their wisdom, support, and unwavering faith in me have been the cornerstone of my success.

A simple message of thanks can mean the world to someone who has invested in your growth. Let’s spread the ripple of gratitude and appreciation – it’s never too late.

Here’s some ideas to say “thank you”:

  • Write them a review on LinkedIn or on their social media business page
  • Send them an e-card or email
  • Mail them a fruit basket or similar token of appreciation
  • Support a cause or project they are involved in. For example, you can donate to a non-profit, community or organization they are involved in and let them know you’re donating to show your gratitude
  • Call them by phone. If they don’t pick up, leave a message explaining why you’re calling and leave your gratitude in the message. They will probably replay your message for years!
  • Invite them to lunch to catch up and thank them in person (this is a gift, so pay for lunch)
  • Offer to serve as a professional/personal reference
  • Write a post on LinkedIn tagging them and thanking them publicly
