Business Problems Solved Podcast Positive Recognition Can Be Life-Changing - with Neil Skehel
How often do you celebrate success?
In this week’s show, Lee talks to Neil Skehel, the CEO and founder of Awards International, dedicated to helping success in others to be celebrated!
Neil discusses the importance of honouring positivity and achievement, and how the act of recognising success can be truly life-changing and empowering.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Recognition reinforces self-belief. Rewarding achievement should be commonplace, allowing our people to prosper, and leading to transformation.
- Society tends to be afraid of boasting and bragging. Some think that if they tell someone they’re doing a good job, it somehow disempowers them. If we recognise people in the right way, however, they will do more.
- A marvellous way of emboldening our team members is to tell them privately. Removing the suspicion that praise is being given so as to glorify the praiser, can certify and endorse that praise for the recipient.
- People need to learn and develop whenever possible. By endowing people with skills, we give them the accolades to do better.
BEST MOMENTS
‘People who receive good, clear, strong recognition can become transformed’
‘Positive recognition does change your life’
‘Celebrating success is also about feeling okay as a person’
‘When people enter awards they create a case study in change'
