Day 14: Send thank you notes to 5 people that helped you this year
One of the best ways to build a great relationship is to show them appreciation. Now that we’ve come to the end of 2021 and get ready for a new year, today’s task is very simple — think of 5 people that helped you this year and write them a thank you note.
Ideally, this is someone that has helped you professionally. But the lines between our professional lives and our personal lives are sometimes not so clear. It could be that someone helped you settle in a new country where you started a new chapter of your career. It could be that someone was there for you when you faced challenges at work.
With the simple act of a thank you note, we’re nurturing our current network, showing them that they’ve had an impact on us. And as someone who’s received a few of these messages, my day was always instantly 100 times better. This also keeps me motivated to help others in the future. So you’re also doing a favour for those like you!
Are these networking exercises helpful? Any feedback for me? Looking forward to hearing from you!
