Thank you! I love you! Please! I am sorry!

”Communication to a relationship is like oxygen to life without it it dies”

Tony Gaskin

In 2017 before I went to one of the most beautiful holidays in Cluj, I had the pleasure of being a facilitator for the SSFB team-building, also then I accepted the invitation to set a training for them on one of my favorite topics: Leadership. In 2020 I facilitated 2 trainings for students - focused on leadership and leadership by public speaking. One of them took place at the Faculty of Pharmacy, with the members of the Pharma Student Organization. And this article is inspired by their energy and the way they reacted to the content I delivered.

When you talk about leadership the only way to start is from the inside out. During the workshop we talked a bit about the four expressions that change the relationship with those around, especially when you are not afraid of using them as part of your day to day life.

I love you!

Sorry!

Please!

Thank you!

Sounds simple, right? And pretty much a piece of cake. Therefore let me propose you an exercise: take a look around you - how often are these words used? Even if we talk about just ”Please” and ”Thank you!” these two are part of the minimum of education that each of us would have received at one point. Well?

Then think about the last time you said to someone <thank you> for something that made your life easier or when that person has supported you in a difficult time. If you didn't thank them, pick up the phone and call, say the words: "Thank you!". Do not send them a sms or a message on facebook, be genuine and show the person how much it means to you what they did. Give him or her a few minutes of your life, through a telephone conversation.

And… if after seeing the video below, you also remember other people who marked your life through a lollipop moment, you know what I would love for you to do next, right? ;) Call them! :)
