The Power of “Thank You” – Two Little Words Can Do So Much

In the spirit of the upcoming holiday, I wanted to visit the topic of the two most powerful words: 

thank you.  Yes our parents taught us it was polite to use “please” and “thank you,” but did you also know it could make or break your career? 

I keep all my thank you cards and emails, some even on display in my office.  Those who are appreciative for my help always stand out in my mind.  Want to know the secrets to making gratitude at work also work for you?  Don’t worry; this doesn’t defeat the purpose of giving thanks or mess with your karma.  Check out this blog from the Daily Muse for helpful hints: 2 Little Words That Have a Huge Impact at Work. 

Put this to practice and thank someone today!  Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
