Soon we will enter the Christmas season (or shall I say Holiday for my PC friends). The season is synonymous with gift giving, wrapping paper, bows, mistletoe, carolers and much much more. It's better to give than to receive, even though I may have to cut you off and run a red light as I race to the mall.
I like the expanded version of gift giving, one that is not limited to December. Gift giving should be a part of our daily plans if we can comprehend what constitutes being a gift.
Remember that time where a project came up and it needed a leader. Someone volunteered, lead the team and got the job done...that is a gift.
Did you ever send your resume for someone to review and get suggestions. When they sent it back with ideas for improvement, and didn't charge you...that is a gift.
Were you ever referred to someone who could help you solve a personal problem or business challenge...that is a gift.
"Gift giver" is something I want connected with my brand. It's not hard, takes a fair amount of compassion and helps me stay grounded by showing gratitude.
My goal in the next five years is to create a group of philanthropists who are natural gift givers. If this sounds like you, please connect with me.
