There is a lot of chat these days about the importance of gratitude; we are encouraged to keep diaries and find things to be thankful for. In my latest article I share why I feel gratitude can be problematic and can hold us back.
In our personal/career development programme for disabled colleagues (PDP)we witness so much unhelpful gratitude from our disabled delegates. We explore the potential, and often very real, issue of gratitude in the workplace.
delegates regularly express gratitude for receiving what they are entitled to, for having a disability confident manager and even for having a job at all. Let me be clear…. These are highly motivated and talented professionals whose strong sense of gratitude is often detrimental.
In, Disability: Glad and Grateful keeps us small – The problem with gratitude, I share why it’s time to keep our gratitude diaries on our shelves and shelf our gratitude while we’re at it.
