February 17th – 21st 2025

Last week, we talked about being proactive versus reactive. Our ability to proactively choose our response rather than react instinctively is a uniquely human gift.

Stephen Covey talks about four unique human gifts:

1. Self-awareness
2. Imagination
3. Conscience
4. Independent will

Using the questions in the worksheet, talk through each of these gifts with your team. How can implementing these four gifts help you at work this week? Be specific.

At our organization, we love to promote from within. There is always room for growth, and we’re excited to share some available opportunities!

Do you know about our Hire-A-Friend referral program? The total payout for the “referring” employee is $500!

• $100 at 30 days of employment
• $200 at 6 months of employment
• $200 at 1 year anniversary of employment

Both the hired employee and the referring employee must be employed in the above timeframe for the referring employee to be eligible for a payout.

Since we spend almost 25% of our lives at work, it makes sense to consider how we can make our work experience happier and healthier.

In an article from well-being expert Tchiki Davis, she shares five ways to be happier at work. One of her tips is to make a point to do something you enjoy at least once every day. For example, maybe you can pair your favorite beverage each morning while you plan your day. Or you can walk to your car after work with a friend instead of by yourself. You could chat about something fun before a meeting starts. Block out 10 minutes on your calendar to go for a short walk.

What are some enjoyable things you intentionally do at work each day? How can implementing this tip boost your productivity?

Curiosity is the foundation of learning and growth. In today’s huddle, let’s challenge ourselves to adopt a mindset of curiosity—not only with our work but also with each other.

• What’s one thing about our industry or processes that you’ve always been curious about but never asked? Challenge yourself to find the answer today- who knows! Maybe someone on your team has the answer.
• Is there a recent challenge or situation where being curious could have led to a better understanding or outcome?
• How can we, as a team, encourage curiosity in our daily work?

For the rest of the day, focus on asking rather than assuming. Whether it’s with a coworker or customer, reframe your thoughts into curious questions to uncover new perspectives!
