BE CONTRIBUTORY.

I sent this email to my team the other day. Although I sent this reminder to them, I find it to be helpful for me too.

Check it out:

Are you a contributing member to society?

If so, how do you contribute?

While pondering how you contribute, do you find that you contribute in a meaningful and intentional way?

I suspect your thoughts are:

Yes, I am a contributing member. I contribute by working, being a parent, a friend, and colleague. I am intentional because I am supportive, hard working, and show up in great ways.

Assuming I'm in the ballpark, I love your thoughts.

Next question:

How do you live through those thoughts daily?

For me, I find myself drifting from these thoughts, forgetting my contributions have great impact on the people around me.

So, let this be your reminder (and mine too).

How you show up for your team matters. How you show up for our clients matters.

And your family, friends, and kids.

My final question for you:

Are you proud of the way you're showing up today?
