EP 197: Give Them Their Roses | A Thanksgiving Message You Can’t Wait to Share

Have you ever realized how often you feel grateful for someone but never actually tell them?

In this special Thanksgiving episode of The Executive Appeal, I’m opening up about something deeply personal, the mentors, coaches, and friends who shaped my journey and the important lesson I learned about expressing gratitude while people are still here to hear it.

And before anything else, I want to say this clearly:

Thank you, Dirk Baxter, for being a one of a kind mentor, coach, and friend.

I miss you and our conversations so much.

🎯 In this episode, I share:

✅ Why gratitude is one of the most underrated leadership skills

✅ How unspoken appreciation can quietly erode relationships and team culture

✅ Why we need to “give people their roses” while they’re still with us

✅ A simple practice you can use today to strengthen your relationships and your leadership

Here’s the truth I’ve learned over the years:

Leadership isn’t just about strategy, decision making, or performance.

It’s about connection.

It’s about appreciation.

And it’s about saying the words people deserve to hear before it’s too late.
