💛 Express Gratitude: The Joy of Giving

With the end of the year fast approaching, I’ve been reflecting on the joy of giving, and I also accepted an invitation from Tod Johnston from Radio 6PR to have a chat. Thanks, Tod, for the opportunity. Giving, to me, is a natural extension of expressing gratitude. Here is the recording of our chat. It is also the season where I catch up with all our Ask Fleur Success Community members to express my gratitude to them, as I have here with Natalie Muirhead from Love the Numbers with this year's Gratitude hamper created by Grazie Gifts:

Giving isn’t always about large donations or grand gestures. Often, it’s the small, consistent acts that build trust and connection over time:

  • Checking in on a colleague or client “just because”

  • Sharing your experience or contacts to help someone move forward

  • Supporting a local business, community group, or cause you care about

In my fundraising work, I see this all the time: consistency builds trust. The same is true in business. When we show up generously and reliably, relationships deepen – and opportunities follow.

A gentle prompt for this week:

What’s one simple way you can “give” – time, attention, encouragement, or support – to someone in your network?

Hit reply and tell me what you choose – I’d love to celebrate it with you.

Welcome to my blog, I’m Fleur and I'm delighted you're here.
