Our Attitude is our Altitude August 13, 2021 by Sherrie Suskie (Edit)
I have to admit that this Is not my witty saying. It is a reference from a beautifully written piece by Korn Ferry Korn Ferry | Organizational Consulting CEO, and published author, Gary Burnison. Gary Burnison (kornferry.com) He explained it this way: When one person says thank you, it can set off a positive chain reaction. The reason lies in emotional intelligence (EI). Daniel Goleman, who has done extensive research and writing on EI and who works closely with our firm, has explained that when we develop and express our EI, we transmit more positive feelings such as gratitude than negative ones. It’s like a spark that ignites as others respond. Moods shift and positivity elevates everyone. Then our attitudes truly become our altitude. As I read it, it reminded me of one of our own Guiding Principles at Tricon Residential. Tricon Residential – Rental Living Reimagined To elevate each other so together we leave an enduring legacy. Similar to the ripples in the pond, each of our actions every day has a consequence. Some purposefully intended and some not. But each of has choice to positively impact those around us or to think only of ourselves. We have such a broader impact when we choose the former. By choosing to spread positivity, there is a ripple effect that spreads out likes rays from the sun, finally reaching earth some 90+ million miles away. Gestures do not have to be large to make an impact. Simply remembering to be grateful and to share thankfulness and appreciation is enough.
