Every time I am on an airplane I wait until the flight attendant has nothing to do and then I wander up to them and simply say, “Thank you for your service today…it’s a pleasure to be on your flight today.” The responses and the stories that happen after are priceless.

Working Today?

Someone once told me that the two words that you can never go wrong on nor say enough are “Thank You.” (Sometimes they are even more precious than hearing our own name!) Of course it has to be genuine, not said too quickly or impatiently, needs some strong eye contact. Who needs your “Thank You” today?

Family Time Today?

With a family member you can say “Thank You” and then add “What I appreciate most about you is….” Then watch what happens next!

On Your Own Today?

I’ve not done this one yet, maybe today (!)…have you thanked yourself and told yourself what you most appreciate about you lately?
