#TEAMS365 #2063 – Weekly Journaling Prompt 64

8/24/2019

This week’s Weekly Journaling Prompt gets you to make a list of ten things you are grateful for. For many us, we are starting to wind down the months of summer and a slower pace of doing things. The last few months may have been focused on travel or learning or new connections. What are the things you are grateful for?

Taking time to regularly reflect on what you are grateful for many boost happiness and satisfaction. Seligman (2005) found that making a list of three things people were grateful for had an impact on happiness scores. Research by Emmons and McCullough also have found impact from people expressing gratitude.

Check out this article from Harvard Health which goes into more details about these studies and the impact on gratitude. You can read it here.

Enjoy your reflection today on this question and consider what you might do to reflect on this question more regularly.

Best wishes,
Jennifer

#TEAMS365 #1924 Celebrating 15 Years in Business

4/7/2019

0 Comments

It’s hard to believe but Potentials Realized turns fifteen years old today. A big thank you to all of your support over the years in ensuring that the business is even more vibrant and popular today than it was 15 years ago when I metaphorically “opened the doors”.

Over the next 12 months I’ll be hosting a series of celebrations. Each month I’ll be dedicating a post or two to a different focus of the work provided, and also, I will share a different case study or example. There will also be some monthly events to celebrate 15 years.

Today I’m pleased to unveil the new 15 years logo. Back in late 2003 as I was preparing to move back to Canada and establish this business (which still didn’t have a name yet!) I was in a coaching conversation where I was being coached about my vision for the business. The image of a water drop clearly came into my mind, representing the ripple effect I wanted my work to continue to have. While it was only a vision in my mind, I imagined that my work would still allow me to connect with professionals all over the world, providing them with tools, insights and skills to help them ripple their own work out.

A big thanks to Eric for adding onto the logo for Potentials Realized – I’ll be using it for the next 12 months to signal this milestone.

My clients – the leaders, teams and business owners – continue to be at the heart of the success of the business. As the client base has grown, I have been thankful for many referrals (thank you!). I have also felt compelled to turn to an increasing amount of writing given that my books and writing travel much further than I can.

With the 10th anniversary of the release of Effective Group Coaching coming later this year, and thousands of the book sold, I am honored that I have been able to create a ripple effect in the area of group and team coaching, and in an emerging way a ripple in the realms of virtual conversations and remote teamwork.

This month I’ll be spotlighting this blog, given that this has become such a foundation of work and support to teams, leaders and professionals globally. What started as an experiment back in 2014 to see how to generate more traffic to the site, has become a favorite practice of mine where I dedicate a couple of hours a week to writing and curating content here.

Let us know about your favorite experience with Potentials Realized programming, or how you have been able to create your ripple effect by one of our programs or coaching.

Cheers to another 15 years…I look forward to our paths crossing!
Jennifer

#TEAMS365 #1741 – Gratitude

10/7/2018

0 Comments

It’s Sunday and also the day we celebrate Thanksgiving in my family here in Canada. A lot of my American colleagues are always surprised to hear that I’ll be taking off this Monday to celebrate. We’ve had this as our Thanksgiving for generations, marking it as a time for the end of the harvest, and a time to give thanks.

As you think about your work and life right now, what are you thankful for?
Where would you like to practice some gratitude?

One regular practice which has shown to have positive impact, is commonly referred to as "Three Things". At the end of every day, take stock and note 3 things which you were grateful for. Read more about this practice here from the Greater Good Science Center at the University of California, Berkeley.

I hope that you will enjoy some time this weekend, whether you are celebrating Thanksgiving here with me in Canada or not, to say thanks! It’s good for us too.

Best wishes,
Jennifer

#Teams365 #1423: Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving

11/23/2017

As many of my colleagues and readers pause for Thanksgiving today, it provides me an opportunity here in Toronto to stop and pause and say my own thanks.

I wanted to take a few minutes through today's post to say THANK YOU! What started as an experiment back on January 1st 2014, has now become a weekly and daily habit of writing. Thanks to the thousands who have joined me on this journey over the years, whether you are a leader, a coach, a student, a manager, a professional, a..... In my travels, I know many of you have found insights here which has helped you in your work and conversations.

As time starts shifting forward to 2018, I am looking forward to stepping into my 5th year of daily blogging. That's a lot of writing and it definitely helped me shape my book released this summer - Effective Virtual Conversations, as well as the manuscript I am working on this month for Virtual Teams and Leaders (more to come on this in later 2018!).

I hope that you will take a few minutes today to say thanks, whether you are celebrating Thanksgiving or not. This year's holidays, starting with our Canadian Thanksgiving which we celebrated last month, have taken on new meaning for me, after moving through significant surgery earlier this year, I am feeling like I am getting back on my feet - almost there! And a big thanks to those who have supported me through my recuperation, and getting back to work!

What are you grateful for today?

Enjoy it,
Jennifer
