Insights from Our Recent PROs Meeting: The Power of Gratitude and Holistic Health
Gratitude, Conscious Eating, and Alternative Medicine:
Unpacking the Rich Insights from Our Latest PROs Meeting
Our most recent PROs meeting was a vibrant blend of practical advice, enlightening information, and thought-provoking discussions. We had the privilege of hearing from three fantastic speakers who shared insights into everything from the simple power of a thank you letter to the surprising realities of food and health.
The Impact of a Simple Thank You with Regan Pappas
Regan, a realtor from Regan Pappas Real Estate, opened the meeting by reminding us of the profound influence that a simple thank you letter can have. She shared her habit of sending such letters to people she interacts with in various ways - from those who stop by open houses, to individuals who assist her in her work.
Regan emphasized that thank you letters aren't merely for occasions of grand gestures or substantial business transactions. They're also for the everyday interactions that make our work lives more pleasant and efficient. As Regan pointed out, a thank you letter could be sent:
- When you meet a new prospect
- When you receive a new referral
- Following a productive collaboration
- After a meaningful meeting
- When a vendor or employee does an outstanding job
These simple acts of gratitude can help to foster stronger relationships, build trust, and elevate your reputation in your industry.

The History and Importance of Alternative Medicine with Dr. Clark
Last but not least, Dr. Clark challenged us as skeptics. He spoke about the importance of understanding the mechanisms behind observed results, and how narratives can change over time. Particularly, he discussed the history of health, noting that it may not be as straightforward as many believe. Dr. Clark underscored the importance of alternative medicine, sharing how his chiropractic office embraces many modalities to help patients get better.
