Putting in genuine effort that is never seen
Hi everyone,
I wanted to ask if anyone relates to that, being appreciated only after You're gone because the things we do to make work, relationships, life of others better in general are not grand gestures or visible kind of things.
It's things like holding space for others, remembering details, being gentle and kind because of remembering their pain, support, but not too much, being balanced and the glue of the group, letting people unfold on their own and witnessing that.
But from the outside it doesn't seem like much, until You're not there and then there is a chance someone might see a difference.
It's like being a gentle swan that looks so calm and collected, but actually paddles a lot under the surface of water.
It happens to me especially at work. Anyone else? Any tips?
