“It doesn't matter where you're from. It only matters who you are.”

Inspiring words from my Uber driver during a 30-minute ride from the Halifax airport to a client engagement.

She was from Ukraine. I was from Boston. Different backgrounds, different circumstances, different life experiences.

And yet, we found ourselves in this rich conversation about our innate desire to love and be loved.

This is an excerpt from my latest Trish Kendall Speaks, and a reminder that no matter our circumstances, backgrounds, stories, or upbringings, we share this universal connection.

Despite all our apparent differences, it really does come down to love.

Our ability to choose to give all the love we have to give, and receive all the love others want to give.

Boundless love. ❤️

About Trish:

To give love is a choice. And making that choice is how we create true success in our lives, yet for countless reasons, it can be the hardest choice to make.

Trish inspires you to make that choice each day.

Trish made five critical choices on her journey from the pit of despair—childhood sexual abuse, drug addiction and near suicide—to the peak of success: embracing boundless love. And you can, too.

About this Episode:

There’s a difference between thanking someone for what they did and telling them how they matter.

I recently ordered a book I’d been wanting to read, Messages of Mattering: The Grace Note Method for Cultivating Meaning, Connection, and Impact by @Andrea Driessen.

I ordered it because I was preparing for a client who wanted their leadership team to focus on expressing appreciation, and I knew I would get some nuggets and inspiration from Andrea.

Well, I read the whole book on a flight back to Boson. I think it took me an hour! And it gave me so much inspiration and ideas. I appreciated her book so much that I bought another copy as a special gift of gratitude for my client!

Andrea’s “Grace Notes,” method is about expressing our appreciation—not simply for what someone has done, but for who they are.

There’s a difference between:

Thank you for what you did.

and

I want you to know how you matter to me.

When was the last time you told someone not just that you appreciated something they did, but how they matter to you?
