Gratitude Planning

Does planning your appreciation seem inauthentic? It did to me.

The first time I used a planning tool to prioritize where I spend my energy in nurturing personal relationships, I felt like a fraud. Shouldn’t authentic communication with others erupt spontaneously? Shouldn’t we be so overwhelmed with gratitude that we can’t contain it?

But don’t we also give intention and thought to the things we care about? Maybe planning out acts of gratitude doesn’t mean we are compensating for being ungrateful. Maybe planning just means you care deeply about this facet of leadership and will put in the work to ensure you do it well.

That’s why I made a little workbook to help me think about and prioritize acts of gratitude. I wanted to make it available to others to help integrate gratitude practices into your nonprofit organization. It takes less than an hour to fill out. Hold yourself accountable to a practice of gratitude. It's good for your own well-being and the well-being of your organization.
