‘We’ve heard it said that happy people are not always grateful, but grateful people are almost always happy.’ (YB) One way to maintain an attitude of gratefulness is to regularly stop and list five things we’re thankful for. I’m grateful that I have a fantastic group of leaders and high-performance frontline people in my teams. I’m grateful for my family and how they support me in my work. I’m grateful to be a part of a great company, working at Nielsen where I have the opportunity to use my skills and do things I really enjoy. I’m grateful for the health I enjoy. And I’m grateful to have this opportunity to share my growth and development journey with you. What are the five things you’re grateful for today?

Teachable: Idea #76
‘Humility gives us the ability to learn – it makes us teachable.’ (J.Maxwell) Have you ever tried to teach someone and it became obvious they didn’t want to learn? How frustrated does that make you feel? I know that it’s easy for me to think I already “know it all” and don’t need to learn from others, and that’s when I get in trouble (especially with my family). So I try to keep reminding myself I still don’t know everything, I still need to learn from others. That spirit of humility allows us to acknowledge the gap we have in our understanding, and that’s when the learning can happen. A question for yourself: How teachable are you?

Finish: Idea #75
‘There is (a little under) one month left in the year. Most people are ready to coast to the finish line, but one good month can make the whole year feel like a success. What can you do in the next 30 days to build momentum and finish the year on a high note?’ (J.Clear) What a great challenge! I know I tend to have the feeling of “just trying to finish the year before I collapse”, however, what would be even better is to take on some unfinished projects or tasks and finish the year strong with a bang. What’s one more important thing I can learn, do, or finish before the end of 2022? What is that for you?
