Some thoughts about Thanksgiving
Dear Heart Centered TECH Community, In this season of the holidays, we at Heart Centered TECH would like to ask you to please take a moment to not only give thanks for what you have as far as entrepreneurial success, but to also think about expressing in bold gestures appreciation to those around you that have impacted your professionalism. This is the foundation of Heart Centered TECH. HCT appreciates all that you have done as our leaders, politicians, newsletter readers, event attendees and nominators. Thank you, you are appreciated at HCT. Ask yourself if you have shown that appreciation in the work environment. Heart Centered TECH's mission is to grow through appreciation and build strong everlasting real connections. Now is that time of year to express thanks to your colleagues, mentors and influencers! Heart Centered TECH sends our love to you this holiday season. Have a Happy Thanksgiving with heart.
