Creating a Culture of Appreciation (in Work and Life)
A session for anyone who has ever meant to say thank you and didn’t.
Kindness is a skill. Like any skill, it takes habit and practice.
Join us during Boston Human Week for Creating a Culture of Appreciation (in Work and Life), an interactive session on the personal and professional benefits of gratitude and the small habits that turn a passing “thanks” into something people carry with them.
YOUR SPEAKER: Evan Lucy | LinkedIn
Three years ago, I was an unemployed runaway worried about making rent. Today I help businesses around the world connect with their communities through marketing and events. Part of how I got here was a simple habit: handwritten thank-you, farewell, and appreciation notes to my bosses and teammates. The people I wrote to carried themselves with more confidence, like they’d just found out someone noticed their hard work. Communication got easier. Projects turned around faster. Their success became my success.
Questions we’ll explore together:
What makes a compliment stick, and what makes it forgettable?
Who around you is doing good work that nobody has named out loud?
How does gratitude change the way people communicate and work together?
How do you make appreciation a habit you keep long after the session ends?
No writing talent required. Come as a manager, new hire, founder, team lead, freelancer, colleague, friend, or simply someone who wants the people around them to know they’re noticed.
What to expect:
A brief talk on the personal and professional health benefits of gratitude habits
How to give profound, highly tailored compliments
How to write thank-you notes people remember
Stories from the habit that changed my career
A guided activity where you put the methods into practice
Practical takeaways you can use at work the next morning
