Day #115

Celebrations

Celebrate your small successes, and those of others. By doing this we are not effecting change, not necessarily learning anything new, nor creating some new insight or output. But celebration can do something just as important: it can bring us together.

Our own success or that of others, when things go our way, when we hit a milestone, or achieve a new victory, when we win the race, we love to celebrate. And we usually love to celebrate with others.

Use your sixty seconds today to consider your rituals, and opportunities, to celebrate as a team or function.

Do you celebrate birthdays? The end of projects? Major festivals like Christmas?

Do you celebrate individuals more so than teams, or vice versa?

And who is included in your celebrations: your peers and colleagues, friends? Your mangers or leaders? The receptionists and IT support? Your family?

Does everyone have access to the same opportunity to celebrate - and indeed do we celebrate everyone equally?

To be a Social Leader is to celebrate in the crowd, but also to reach out beyond it.

To connect in new ways, in new spaces, beyond our boundaries.

I have released 600 more free spaces across two new Quiet Leadership cohorts over the next couple of months: you can read more and sign up here.
