The power of thanks

When was the last time someone sent you a hand-written letter of thanks?

For me, it was a few minutes ago. I was tickled pink. Literally.

I received it from a thoughtful staff member at a social impact organization where I volunteer. She had to have returned to her desk after the function we attended yesterday, written the note and popped it in the mail. That realization alone made me feel really special!

We all know we need to say thanks, and say it often, but how many of us put this into action? I know how this made me feel – warm and fuzzy, appreciated and recognized. It reminded me why I volunteer there, and gave me a renewed sense of loyalty to their mission.

How are you making your volunteers feel?
