Virtual Lunch & Learn
The way we show and receive appreciation is important to our daily relationships, both personal relationships and our professional ones too. It doesn’t matter if we are a leader of a team or an individual contributor, appreciation is a powerful tool. However, it can be extremely tricky to navigate. How can you show someone you appreciate them? What if you have no budget to buy expensive thank-you gifts? You tried to show appreciation to someone once and they didn’t seem appreciative, should you even bother? When people give me praise, I feel uncomfortable.
Learn to understand how people feel appreciated, how to encourage innovation and creativity and how to become comfortable receiving feedback yourself!
Learning Objectives
- Creating an easy, affordable recognition program
- Appreciating your remote team
- What to do if praise makes you uncomfortable
- Appreciation on every level of your organization, board or team
