Take 5: Delight someone

This week we're launching our new "Take 5" series, where every Sunday we'll offer up 5 minute soundbites to kick off your work week with some stories, tips and ideas for how to show up more kind and present in the coming week. These are meant to be short and easy for your commute, and hopefully will inspire you to do something different each week.

Today's episode is all about *active listening*; listening from your heart and paying attention to the things people share with you. Thoughtful and authentic surprise and delight only comes when it's unexpected, and when the recipient is delighted at the personal touch that goes beyond just a flower or a generic card. Today I share how I approach surprise & delight, and how to set an intention to listen for opportunities to do just that.
