Give Thanks by Helping Others

Office holiday gifts. They have become so commonplace. Are they even noticed?  Just how many specialty cookies, chocolates, popcorn tins or wine gift baskets does one office need?

Why not do something different? 

Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays and the perfect time of year to reflect and give thanks to those you work with throughout the year — whether they be referral sources, clients or just friends of your practice or business. And one of my favorite ways to give thanks is to “give back” by making a community contribution in their honor. It can be a donation to the local food bank, to an organization that provides healthcare to the homeless, or to an organization that provides school supplies to low-income kids — just to name a few. Pick a cause that is meaningful to you or those you wish to thank. The local nonprofit organizations are so grateful for the support, and many will mail out personalized cards to the folks on your list, letting them know how much you appreciate them and that you have made a contribution in their honor. 

It’s simple. It’s unexpected. It’s impactful. And it’s even low calorie.
