An Unexpected Gift
Last week, I received a hand written note from a client who had to unexpectedly cancel a meeting at which, along with a colleague, I was scheduled to speak.
When I opened up the envelope, to my delight, along with a few words of apology I found a Starbucks gift card. Hand written. Snail mail, too!
A gift of any description, given unexpectedly, to me at least, is even more appreciated than when it is given out of duty or because it is expected. It shows special consideration and thoughtfulness.
It doesn’t need to cost a lot of money, either. It’s the gesture that counts.
