In honor of Valentine’s Day, focus on three things you love about your client. (She remembers to say thank you, she asks great questions, she is very demanding but holds herself to the same high standards…). Then three things you love about your manager. (He’s always accessible, he shares recognition for our team’s good work, he has my best interests at heart…). Then your team members. (They do whatever it takes to get the job done, they ask great questions, they collaborate well as a team). Then the individuals on your team. Then your peers. Keep that love coming!
And once you’ve thought about the three things, try communicating them. Go ahead…you can always say you got swept away by the spirit of Valentine’s Day.
