Recognition isn’t a soft perk - it’s a performance system. We’ll align on today’s goals, define what “strategic recognition” actually means, and what are some of the key levers we should be pulling on in 2026.

In our fast-paced world, where change is part of everyday life - at work, at home, and everywhere in between, it’s never been more important to build relationships that lift each other up. Our ability to be agile, flexible, and resilient depends on those relationships. It’s the small moments of appreciation, connection, and support we share each day that strengthen our teams and help us handle whatever comes our way.

In this session, we’ll explore:

-- The key role that appreciation and recognition play in maintaining our well-being and resilience.

-- Simple rituals and micro-interactions that strengthen relationships and team connection in minutes.

-- A easy reflection process to help you take care of yourself and those around you.

-- Change is always easier when we navigate it together!

A candid conversation on what worked, what fizzled, and the pivots that unlocked momentum. We’ll tackle budget constraints, program fatigue, fairness across hybrid teams, and recognition that backfires.

Quick commitments, a starter playbook, and an accountability check. Everyone leaves with one habit to start, one ritual to pilot, and one metric to watch.
