Gratitude Beyond the Table Thanksgiving is more than a holiday; it’s a reminder to pause, reflect, and express gratitude. While the traditional feast with family and friends is cherished, the essence of Thanksgiving extends beyond the dinner table. In our fast-paced lives, we often overlook the small things that deserve our appreciation—colleagues who uplift us, clients who trust us, mentors who guide us, and even the challenges that shape us. This season, let's take a moment to thank not just those around us but also ourselves for the resilience, dedication, and perseverance we've shown throughout the year. As professionals, gratitude fuels stronger connections and fosters a culture of positivity in our workplaces. So, let’s celebrate Thanksgiving by expressing appreciation openly and sincerely—whether it’s a handwritten note, a heartfelt conversation, or a simple "thank you." This Thanksgiving, let’s commit to practicing gratitude every day, not just on the fourth Thursday of November. It’s the small, consistent gestures that create a big impact in our lives and the lives of others. Wishing everyone a meaningful Thanksgiving filled with joy, warmth, and gratitude! #Thanksgiving #Gratitude #ThankfulHeart #Thanksgiving2024 #WorkplaceCulture #PositiveVibes #ProfessionalGrowth #CelebrateThankfulness

🍁 Happy Thanksgiving to My Amazing Network 🍁 As we gather around the table today (or connect virtually with loved ones), I want to take a moment to share a thought about giving and empathy—two values that truly make this season special. Thanksgiving isn’t just about gratitude; it’s about action. It’s about asking: Who around me could use a helping hand? How can I give not just things, but my time, attention, or support? Sometimes, the greatest gift we can give someone is simply empathy: 🧡 Listening without the need to respond. 🧡 Understanding their perspective without judgment. 🧡 Showing up when it matters most. Empathy isn’t just a personal value—it’s a business superpower, too. Whether in leadership, teamwork, or client relationships, the ability to understand and connect with others is the foundation of trust, loyalty, and success. So, this Thanksgiving, I encourage you to: ✅ Thank someone who’s impacted your life this year. ✅ Check in on someone who may feel overlooked or disconnected. ✅ Offer support to someone who’s struggling, even if it’s just a kind word. We all have the power to make someone else’s day a little brighter, and that ripple effect of kindness can change lives. 💡 What are you most thankful for this year? Drop it in the comments—I’d love to hear your reflections!

  TGIF, everyone! With Thanksgiving right around the corner, gratitude is something we are hearing a lot about. John F. Kennedy once said, "As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." In a season filled with “thank you” messages, it’s a great reminder that our actions can mean so much more than words. Showing gratitude through kindness, helping others, or simply being present can have a lasting impact, especially in times when many people need a bit of extra support. As we head into the weekend, consider: How can you show your appreciation in ways that go beyond words? Sometimes, a small gesture of kindness or an act of service can mean the world to someone else. Let’s turn our gratitude into actions that uplift others and spread a bit of warmth this season. #communityaction #foodforthought #helpingpeoplechanginglives  

Have you ever told someone that you were thankful? Have you ever told someone you were grateful? Do you know the difference?   I was thinking about this the other day knowing that Thanksgiving was coming up, and how during this time of year we like to give thanks for things. But perhaps it’s also important to share what you’re grateful for once you understand the difference between the two.   An interesting article published by Michigan State University helps to simplify the difference between the two words:   “Thankful tends to be an automatic response like when someone holds open a door—most people automatically say thank you. Or if you drop something at the grocery store and someone picks it up for you, automatically you say thank you. Gratefulness tends to be an emotional response to reflection of an occurrence or series of occurrences that have made a difference in your life. An example might be a mentor at work who has provided support and guidance to you as you become familiar with your new position and the organization.”   As you go into this coming weekend, whether you celebrate Thanksgiving or not, I hope you each have the opportunity to say “thank you” for the moments, like passing the turkey or thanking someone who is helping you on Black Friday (if you venture out into that crazy world). I also hope you find the gratefulness that comes from those moments all put together (relaxing, spending time with family, friends, pets, etc.).   Have a wonderful holiday weekend and Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Gratitude Beyond Work As we approach Thanksgiving, I find myself reflecting on the many circles in life that shape who we are—our families, friends, and work families. Each connection we have enriches us in unique ways, whether it’s the laughter shared around a dinner table, the late-night talks with a close friend, or the camaraderie built during a project with colleagues. Thanksgiving isn’t just a day; it’s a reminder to pause and express gratitude for all the people who make our lives meaningful. At work, it’s easy to focus on goals and deliverables, but behind every success is a team of individuals who support, inspire, and challenge each other to be better. At home, it’s the love, patience, and shared memories that give us strength. This holiday, I encourage us all to take a moment to acknowledge those who uplift us in big and small ways. Write a note to a friend, thank a teammate, or simply spend a little extra time with loved ones. I’m grateful for the journey we’re all on together—inside and outside of work. Wishing everyone a warm and meaningful Thanksgiving surrounded by those who matter most. What are you most thankful for this year? Let’s share and spread the gratitude. #Thanksgiving #Gratitude #FamilyAndFriends #WorkFamily #EnerSys

From our team to your home, we hope you have a great day filled with spending time with your loved ones. (And eating that extra piece of pie!) We are thankful for each one of the people we work with to make our communities even better! As we pause to celebrate Thanksgiving, I'm struck by a profound truth that many Indigenous peoples have long embraced – gratitude isn't meant to be confined to a single day, but rather woven into the fabric of our daily lives. Their wisdom teaches us that true appreciation is a practice, a way of moving through the world that transforms how we see everything around us. Many Indigenous communities start each day with expressions of thanksgiving – for the sun that rises, for the water that sustains us, for the earth that supports us, and for the connections that bind us together. This daily practice of gratitude isn't just a ritual – it's a powerful lens through which to view life, one that can profoundly impact our well-being and our relationships with others. Let's draw inspiration from these timeless teachings and carry the spirit of thanksgiving with us beyond this holiday. Whether it's starting our meetings with a moment of appreciation, acknowledging our daily wins, or simply taking time to recognize each other's contributions, we can make gratitude a cornerstone of our culture. #Thanksgiving #GiveThanks #ThankfulforYou #TurkeyDinner #Pie #bkonnected #indigenous #communities #team #teachings
