Give Them Flowers | Dr. Nikeya Young | VLS Podcast Ep 112

We are officially back in the studio, and since it's Mental Health Awareness Month, we need to talk about the power of gratitude. My latest episode, "Give Them Flowers," was inspired by a bittersweet realization: we often wait until someone's funeral to talk about how much they mean to us.

But what if we started vocalizing that appreciation now? Statistics show that only a measly 10% of people express gratitude at work on a regular basis—yet doing so can boost a team's productivity by 50%!

Inside this episode, I cover:

• The Gratitude Shift: Why genuine praise is a critical (but overlooked) workplace performance driver.

• Honoring My Inner Circle: Personal shout-outs to the ultimate cheerleaders, media producers, and coaches who helped build my brand.

• The Challenge: A special assignment to help you consciously build up the people around you.

Don't wait until it's too late to tell someone they matter.
