Happy Turkey Day to all of our Tremendous Upside readers! Whether you are catching this content in between courses or kickoffs, we truly hope that you are spending today conquering casseroles and reflecting on all of the things that you are grateful for in the presence of friends and family.
Now let’s get down to the turkey and potatoes of it all.
Earlier this month, we reached out to readers through our Tremendous Upside blog, our Kinetix social media profiles, and our personal networks to ask the question “What are you thankful for in your career?” Currently, I am feeling crazy thankful for the AMAZING responses we received from all over the country – snaps for you, TU readers!
These are 10 of our favorite answers:
“Flexibility and growth – I can stretch my skills in so many directions that it’s never boring and I never have the same day twice.”
– Robin, Food and Beverage Professional

– Mark, HR Industry Pro, and Fistful of Talent Contributor
“I love that creative recognition plays a HUGE role in my team’s success, and it’s not always about a tangible reward… they appreciate a kind ‘kudos’ (almost) as much as a Starbucks gift card.”
