Seven Secrets of Recognition - How to appreciate and keep valued staff or volunteers

A workshop to help create meaningful connection
(45 minutes—3 hours)

The number one reason people say they’re dissatisfied with their job is they feel unappreciated. Reciprocity and interdependence make for an inclusive, respectful and welcoming environment. Everyone benefits from experiencing being heard, seen and acknowledged. When you change, your relationships change. When you treat people with kindness, a listening ear and appreciation, they become more than you or maybe they ever imagined. Patricia Morgan encourages you to demonstrate the recognition you want to receive and notice the atmosphere become mutually supportive.

This session is for those who believe that self-awareness, emotional intelligence, making meaningful connection and affirming others result in a better environment for all.

Research affirms that people remain longer in organizations when they view their co-workers as friends. Effective communication is the key to enhancing any relationship. While more than 35 business studies indicate listening as a top skill, less than 2% of us have had listening training. Learn to pro-actively listen with a discerning ear. Let others know you have confidence in their abilities. Turn mistakes into opportunities to learn. Congratulate people for a job well done. With validation comes commitment and satisfaction. Increase your messages of encouragement and become a workplace cheerleader!

You and your group will:

• Transform negative comments into positive phrasing. What you say makes a difference!
• Understand how to give meaningful and supportive feedback
• Identify and recognize your and others’ strengths. Knowing and using strengthens is a key factor contributing to authentic happiness
• Take away a list of validating statements to boost morale
• Learn to apply the time tested principles of attentive listening to enrich and enlighten your relationships and at work to increase productivity and teamwork 
• Keep your valued people and keep them enthused
