ShareSome of us here in the neighborhood have occasionally been guilty of wimpy thank-yous, but Dr. Mark Goulston has shown us a sure fire way to sincerely express meaningful gratitude. This is right up there among the great life lessons we have learned. Just in time for Thanksgiving!
POWER THANK YOU
By Dr. Mark Goulston
Make giving thanks the centerpiece of your Thanksgiving by having each person give a Power Thank You. It has 3 parts:
Part 1: Thank someone for something specific that they did for you (it can also be something they refrained from doing that would have hurt you).
Part 2: Acknowledge the effort it took for them to do it (by saying something like: “I know you didn’t have to do —-” or “I know you went out of your way to do —-”).
Part 3: State the difference it personally made to you.
