Want to change the world? Start by saying thank you. Praises for the power of gratitude can seem trite. Basic politeness entreats us to say thank you to our family members, our friends and our co-workers in passing, and the majority of people would not describe these small exchanges as life-altering. What most of us

January is an inspiring time of year. We’re coming off the holidays, our outlook for the future is at an all-year high, and we’re armed with a bevvy of resolutions to make good on. But often, the biggest hurdle we face when starting new challenges is planning ahead. Knowing that we want to create new

Everyone wants work-life balance, but many of us don’t know how to define it for ourselves. It makes sense, in theory, to spend exactly eight hours on both our work and our personal lives and still have eight hours to sleep. The reality, though, is that life is not perfectly balanced. Very few of us

From a young age, we learn that saying “thank you” is essential. However, we aren’t taught why it’s so significant.

Powering through an unproductive state isn’t the answer. There are some ruts you have to climb out of both metaphorically and physically. Doing good work is not always about sitting and staring at that work, repeating the same efforts over and over again until something clicks. On the contrary, trying to force your brain to

The twenty-tens are drawing to a close and the Roaring 20s 2.0 are just around the bend. And here at The ONE Thing, that means it’s time to start planning for the year ahead. Whether you’ve already had your own Goal Setting Retreat, come to ours, or are still trying to figure out your plan

Gratitude is the point of Thanksgiving, but it’s something we often don’t prioritize. When the aromas of roasting turkey and fresh pumpkin pie fill the air, most of us look forward to setting work aside in favor of a lavish meal and the company of family and friends. What we don’t look forward to are the

Communication lies at the center of just about everything we do. Whether we’re talking to our loved ones, our co-workers, or the whole world, whether or not we can get our message across can determine if we move our ONE Thing from point “A” to point “B.” We’ve talked extensively about how the way you
