This is awesome. Self-praise and reflection are a must. Especially in this world where we are so busy and never take the time nor do people take the time to acknowledge the good.

Thanks for this timely and much-needed reminder. I've been having such a rough week and it's only Wednesday. Maybe I'll take a long lunch and treat myself to a massage. I deserve it.

Thank you for the reminder, really love seeing posts like this on here :)

Thank you for this! Sometimes I forget how far from where I was.

That's such a heartfelt thing to say even to us people who you don't know. I very much needed this. Thank you for your kindness. I wish you the best!

I just saw this now. This is beautiful. You have no idea how much I needed this. Thank you!

Thanks for this wonderful reminder! I really appreciate it!

My company’s SOP template has a table of contents and a section at the top where the SOP owner is supposed to add a short statement containing the “Why” of the SOP, meaning a statement about what the SOP is supposed to solve for/ accomplish. A co-worker recently told me that it should also contain a checklist of the 4-5 main points of what the team member should know how to do after reading the SOP…. This seems really redundant to me. Thoughts?

Hi everyone, I have a quick question that’s kind of silly. I work at a pretty small company leading marketing. My title is technically Marketing Lead but I want to put Head of Marketing on my LinkedIn etc. I think of these titles as totally interchangeable—I just like the way the second one reads better. I know titles don’t really matter, but I’m battling a little bit of imposter syndrome.
