The People, Process, & Progress Podcast - Brighten Someone Else’s Day Today | FF36

Episode Date: September 24, 2021

Inspired by a beautiful sunrise, cool mountain air and a quote from Jhiess Krieg. Through little things we can help make someone else stay better and intern our own.

Welcome to Foundations Friday 36. How will you brighten someone else's day today? This came from a quote that I found on the internet when I shared a beautiful picture of a sunrise. And the actual quote is, every sunrise is an invitation for us to arise and brighten someone's day from Janice Craig. And it was just a really good quote, I think, because sometimes, right, we're up in the morning, maybe we're a little tired. It's hard to think about how am I going to help somebody else today, but will it be holding the door for someone when they go into a store, grabbing that extra shopping cart that somebody didn't take back because they were lazy and you thought, you know what? That person working here at the whatever grocery store has to go collect all these things because some people are lazy. So let's make it a little easier. I'll grab this extra one and take it back for you. Or if it's a project manager, right? Can you help streamline

someone's task, get them the help they needed that they weren't getting feedback on or reassure leadership through, you know, doing a good job or just talking to your teammates, not even about the project or the, or the office, but about them and asking about them. So that's what I'm going to think about today. Maybe you all can consider that too on this Foundations Friday. How do we brighten somebody else's day? Every day is an opportunity for that. And I thank you for the opportunity to share short messages like this, full episodes. I hope you're enjoying the content. I look forward to some guests we're going to have on in the near future. And no episode this week. So thanks for hanging on with me. Took a

little time off after getting back and celebrating 20 years with my wife, which is awesome. And so our next episode will be what are 10 things that we think collaboratively five from each of us that helped us get to 20 years of marriage may not fit everybody, but we think they're pretty good and they've worked for us. And I hope that this show has worked for you. Please go check out people process, progress.com. There's some resources on there. Um, some templates, things like that.
