THANKFUL THURSDAY……. Have you ever looked back and realized how far you’ve come, not just because of your own efforts, but because of the people who helped you along the way? I remember a time when I felt completely lost, professionally and personally. I was struggling to find my path, unsure if I was making the right choices. Then, one day, Someone gave me a simple piece of advice: ‘Be thankful for the small wins. They add up.’ It was such a small thing, but it changed my mindset completely. I started to see progress, even in the tiniest steps, and I learned to appreciate the journey, not just the destination. More importantly, I learned to express gratitude to those who supported me, even in the smallest ways. Gratitude has a way of changing your perspective and opening doors you didn’t see before. →Today, I want to take a moment to say thank you, to my communities, my mentors, my family, and to each of you. Every like, comment, and conversation has shaped my journey. Gratitude isn’t just a feeling, it’s a practice. And today, I encourage you to thank someone who has made a difference in your life, no matter how small. →What and Who are you THANKFUL for today? →Drop a comment and share a story of someone who made an impact on your journey.

Law students: “I went to law school because I’m not good at math.” Law 360: law students, check out the 15 dream firms (disregarding that 22 firms are on the list). So many questions: - is Law 360 trolling law students who are not good at math? - or is Law 360 itself not good at math? - was this a way to give every firm a participation trophy? - or does some other math apply when there’s 9-way tie for 14th place? - or is 22 the new 15? The numbers are not numbering. #whoneedsmath #everyonemakesthelist #notgoodatmath #whydidyougotolawschool

🌟At Keylingo, we believe that gratitude is more than just a word—it’s a way of life that fosters positivity, connection, and growth. Today, our team gathered for a special Gratitude Day meeting, where we took a moment to reflect, appreciate, and thank ourselves and each other for the good things we’ve achieved together. As our VP of Operations, Virginia Careto, beautifully put it: “Gratitude brings us back to the present and helps us recognize the importance of small, everyday successes.” Gratitude not only strengthens our bonds as a team but also empowers us to continue delivering exceptional solutions to our clients. 👉 Check out Vir’s full post on the power of gratitude and how it plays a crucial role in both our personal and professional lives. How do you practice gratitude in your daily life or work? Share your thoughts in the comments! #GratitudeDay #Teamwork #KeylingoLife #PositiveCulture #Gratitude

This week our US-based team is taking some time off for the Thanksgiving holiday week. Thanksgiving often highlights what we’re thankful for, but what about who we’re thankful to? This week, we invite you to reflect on one person who’s made a difference in your personal or professional journey—whether they know it or not. If you're up for this gratitude exercise: (1) write them a letter of appreciation (2) tag them in the comments sharing what you appreciate most about them

Gratitude [gra-ti-tude] noun. 1: The feeling of great appreciation and thankfulness. We’re always told to be grateful. And yes, we have much to be grateful for. But let’s be honest - sometimes mustering gratitude can be challenging. Here’s a thought to consider: Take the screen you’re reading this post on, for example. You bought it from a retail store that had it in stock at the exact moment you needed it. That store got the device from a manufacturer who meticulously assembled countless synthetic materials to create a functional device. Those materials were produced in a factory from raw materials that were extracted from the earth, tracing back to the beginning of time. The same process applies to the food you eat, the clothes you wear, and the pen you write with. It’s as if everything aligned in a precise sequence, stretching back to the beginning of time, just so you could have the life you live today. Realising this not only makes us feel special but also allows us to genuinely appreciate and feel thankful for the finer things in life. This perspective cultivates true gratitude.

Happy Friday! It's the perfect time to pause and reflect on your week! ~ What’s There to Celebrate? What WINS did you or your team achieve this week? ~ Moments of Gratitude We’re there any moments this week that made you particularly thankful? Sometimes, it’s the little things that mean the most! ~ Overcoming Challenges What hurdles did you encounter this week? More importantly, how did you navigate these challenges? Your learnings and strategies might inspire someone else! Have a great weekend! Jason

This month of giving thanks, let’s recognize the value of our teams. It’s easy to get caught up in daily tasks and overlook the contributions of those around us. But expressing gratitude goes a long way in building loyalty and trust. A simple "thank you" can boost morale, reinforce positive behavior, and make your team feel valued. Let’s make November a month of gratitude.

Yet another great themed template for your next team retro 💪 (Beware, the prompts inside might actually get your team saying nice things to each other).

Continuing my gratitude series for those who have had an impact on me —over time, I’ve come to realize that the most powerful advice I’ve received has often been the simplest, seemingly obvious, and most resilient. Yet, it makes all the difference when someone you trust shares it at the right time and in the right place, and suddenly - it just clicks. I recall my first year as a ‘team lead.’ Headed with the responsibility yet still feeling inexperienced, my only reference for what ‘leadership’ should be was what I had read and seen. How ‘should’ I lead? What should I ‘need’ to do? What if my team doesn’t ‘like’ me? What if performance drops? In a moment of panic, I messaged a senior team lead (at the time) over our office chat system, asking these questions. He seemed like the only person I felt comfortable asking, given how easily he connected with people across all levels. I vividly remember him typing: “𝘑𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧. 𝘋𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘵𝘳𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘳 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘦𝘭𝘴𝘦.” Twenty years on, I still remember this and am grateful for my first ‘authentic’ introduction to 'authenticity' as a concept—in communication, personal branding, and relationships. Do you remember telling me this, Nitin Sareen? Thank you. Have you ever been in a moment where someone’s simple words changed your perspective? 

Some dates are always special such as today, the date when we launched Silver Talkies Club six years ago in 2018, based on the inputs from attendees of our events. They wanted to meet more often, know their co-participants better and have more fun and engaging opportunities. Hence Silver Talkies Club was born in a time and age when active ageing, loneliness and isolation among older adults were not spoken about or discussed much in our country. I was in fact told by many peers that I was playing in a small niche field. Fast forward to 2024, almost every new player in the senior care space is looking at addressing similar issues with similar models. Did we start too early or did they start too late? I think it is immaterial for as they say that all's well that ends well. What is most heartening for me is to note that in the pic below all the people who became members in 2018 are still members in 2024, with the exception of one member whom we lost a few months ago. Six years of relationship still doing strong! So we must be doing something right:) Cheers to healthy ageing! #olderadults #activeageing #seniorcare #healthyageing #anniversary
