Appreciation at work, where everyone profits

Leadership practices to optimize performance and retention

Sponsors, board members, employees, or colleagues, want to affect an organization's success. As a leader, you need to communicate a person’s contribution and overall impact on the success of the organization — in comes appreciation. There are many forms of recognition. As a leader, knowing what a person values will guide you to appreciate them where they feel the most fulfillment. People often join an organization for the money or the profile; they stay for how they are valued.

In a dynamic, interactive presentation, Suzanne will take the audience on a self-reflective journey of assessing what they believe motivates their team. Based on interviews with leaders, and neuroscience insight, Suzanne will share what motivates teams long-term. The Audience will leave with seven strategic ways to demonstrate appreciation, each of which is low-cost and relatively easy to implement.

Neuroscience tells us that leadership and peer acknowledgment can have a profound impact on a person. By creating a culture of appreciation, you can increase your team's engagement and performance while having them experience a heightened sense of purpose - where everyone profits.
