You can send these tips or notes to the whole team, or focus them on one individual. In either case, the gesture says, “I was thinking of you.” and that is always a deposit in the account.
You can also keep this approach in mind when you are coaching an individual on a specific skill. Once you know the skill someone is trying to learn, it’s easy to notice a blog entry and forward it to that person.
