Blue Monday, the day of the year we realize a lot of our New Year's resolutions already flew out the window. The day we come to the conclusion we are smoking like chimneys again, eating comfort food or decided getting picked on everyday by our awful boss isn't as bad as making a career change.

When we are co-writing or optimizing speeches for team leaders and CEO's, one of the things we focus on is making sure the parts of gratitude actually hit their mark. It's a no brainer that you as a leader show gratitude and appreciation. Acknowledge the hard work and dedication of your team members, but just saying you are thankful or know they work hard, is often not enough.

2017 is right around the corner and with it come plans, aspirations and false promises to ourselves about six pack abs, smoke free lungs and a better work life balance :) I love stepping into a new year. It gives you a push to reflect on the past and make plans for the future. A fresh start every 12 months.
