Once upon a time, books and movies thought children like us that magic words and spells can change reality and make things different.
While growing up, most of us learned that that's not true. At least not in the way that fantasy sagas and comics keep describing it.
Still, there are some magic words that are way more powerful than "Abracadabra" and "Accio". Which ones?
[The language may vary,
the message stays the same]
It's very simple: "Thank you".
Showing gratitude and appreciation to yourself, your colleagues, your employees, your friends, your loved ones... can completely change many kinds of interaction and improve the quality of the relationship over time.
Gratitude is powerful, free, always available. Way too often, it is also underestimated.
Coaching question of the day:
"Whom can you write a kind thank-you message today?"
