The Power of Thank You!
In her book "Sidetracked: Why Our Decisions Get Derailed, and How We Can Stick To The Plan," Francesca Gino, an associate professor at the Harvard Business School, explores many ideas including the fact that "People might just not realize how powerful expressions of gratitude are.”
“Receiving expressions of gratitude makes us feel a heightened sense of self-worth, and that in turn triggers other helpful behaviors toward both the person we are helping and other people, too,” Gino said. She described the scope of the “gratitude effect” as “the most surprising part” of her research.
The work behind her book, she said, “really makes me think more carefully every time I am the one expressing gratitude to others. I don’t want to miss opportunities. … I learned from my own research and now try to say ‘thank you’ much more often.”
I found a video by Derek Halpern titled "The Power of Thank You." I know you will enjoy it and learn from it.
I have a presentation called Appreciation Marketing that talks about the importance of saying "Thank You" and shows various ways to express gratitude.
One of the ways I say "Thank You" is to send cards through old fashioned snail mail. I use a system that is easy, simple and inexpensive.
