In this episode of Pearls of Wisdom, I share a personal experience and it inspired me to remind of the importance of celebrating one another while we are still here.
Last year, I trained as a celebrant after several clients suggested they would like me to conduct their weddings. Around the same time, one of my oldest clients, then aged ninety, said, "Oh, you can do my funeral!”
This year, that conversation came full circle when I found myself conducting her funeral and celebrating her remarkable life.
Why do we so often wait until someone has died to tell them how much they mattered?
In this episode, I explore:
• The importance of appreciating people while they are alive • How appreciation creates connection and strengthens relationships • The practice of appreciative inquiry in relationships, teams, and organisations • Why what we focus on tends to grow • The connection between appreciating others and appreciating ourselves • How celebration can become a way of living rather than an occasional event
Through personal stories and reflections, I explore how appreciation transforms both the giver and the receiver.
The greatest gift we can offer another person is to let them know they matter while they are still here to hear it.
