Appreciation, recognition, and gratitude are a remarkably strong source of energy that we all possess. When leaders can tap into that powerful source of energy it can have a deep, positive effect on work relationships and successful outcomes. In this session we will explore the science behind the impact of appreciation, recognition, and gratitude, what makes it such a dynamic force and the specific ways you can integrate these energy sources into your daily leadership practice.
The Power of Sharing
We all have stories to tell – significant life challenges we have faced, risks we’ve taken, changes we’ve made to improve our lives, lessons we’ve learned, and more and more and more.
Join us to hear from three women who will share their personal stories followed by small group discussions.
