What's the secret to having a great company culture? Ask 100 people, and you'll get 100 different answers, but here's mine: Gratitude. It's one of our core values, but it's not just something we wrote down and hoped would happen. Our team practices gratitude daily. 1 - Gratitude for each other Please and thank you are nonnegotiables, but there's more to it. We are grateful for the team we get to work with, both internally and with our strategic partners. 2 - Gratitude for our clients We genuinely love our clients and are grateful they choose to work with us. We regularly make an effort to express this. 3 - Gratitude for our opportunities We are blessed with opportunities. Opportunities to work, support our families, grow, learn about awesome businesses and nonprofits, succeed, fail and learn lessons, and serve others. Don't get me wrong. We're human and can certainly take things for granted sometimes. But we do our best to be grateful and build a culture of gratitude. How do you cultivate gratitude in your work environment?

Grateful for someone on your team? Let them know. And when you do, Be specific. The benefits of this practice are threefold: 1. They’ll feel better about themselves (which only leads to better outcomes) 2. They’ll appreciate you for making them feel that way 3. You’ll amplify your perception of them by drawing focus towards their contributions I reserve at least 2 hours each week to call out individuals and express my appreciation for their work. Are you doing the same?

This week’s Thankful Thursday gratitude is for my new friend, Ben Reuler! Ben is the CEO of In the Area Productions (https://lnkd.in/gyZPPmVh) in Seattle, Washington and is leading some powerful anti-racism conversations with white leaders.   A former licensed social worker and nonprofit executive director, Ben experienced a need to transform an organization he led to be less white-centered. The goal was to create a culture and structure that was considerably more attuned to the needs, cultural instincts and the significant marginalization of the BIPOC community who intersected the work of his organization from top to bottom. His keen awareness that white leaders and white-led companies need to adapt and evolve led him to create processing sessions and take the podium at important conferences and events to create space and demand accountability. This is why he founded In the Area Productions.   Ben understands that when intentional transformation anchored in achieving appropriate levels of representation and power gains traction, morale and performance improve. Ben shares his story willingly and authentically and his joy for this work is evident when you spend even a little time with him.   Today, I send gratitude to Ben for stepping up and stepping into this work. Ultimately, the dismantling of systems designed to hold people down and back requires folx representative of the entire system to participate and hold themselves responsible to and accountable for the change they are seeking. If you have a team of white folx who recognize their attitudes and behavior must change in order to achieve a world that works for everyone, reach out to Ben. He’s got some good talk for you.   And thank you, Racquel Russell, for the introduction to Ben! It is true that good people know good people.   #thankfulthursday #antiracism #intheareaproductions
