𝗠𝘆 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗻! Over the last two months, I’ve worked and traveled throughout the Philippines and Indonesia. I’ve seen a lot of cool stuff. Met a lot of very cool people. And, I’ve had a handful of magical experiences. Meeting my beatbox friend is one of those magical experiences. --- 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁 𝗮 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗹 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗮 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻. Beautiful part of the country; very slow pace to life. As I turned the corner one morning, I heard bird chirping sounds from the kitchen, shortly followed by some of the best beatboxing I’ve ever heard. All of the sounds coming from one of the staff members at the hotel. Over the course of my 3-day stay at the hotel, I listened to this kid relentlessly work on his beatboxing craft, mixing and matching different beats and sounds while moving gracefully throughout the hotel grounds. --- 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘄𝗲’𝗱 𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘀, 𝗜’𝗱 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗵𝗶𝗺, “𝗱𝘂𝗱𝗲, 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝘄𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲! 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗶𝘁 𝘂𝗽!” It felt good doing so. I mean, I couldn’t really help it; he’s that good. And, each time I told him, I could feel his energy shift; it gave him juice. He stood up a little straighter; his face beamed with confidence. A powerful reminder of how far acknowledgment goes. It elevated him to be his best in that moment, and it did the same for me. --- 𝗜 𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗹𝘆 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗴𝗶𝗳𝘁𝘀. 📌What happens to them when you do? 📌How do you feel in those moments? 📌How does this impact productivity? 📌How does it impact your company culture?

Love this story, Adam Piandes! 🌟 It just goes to show that a little bit of recognition can go a long way. Makes me think about the 'hidden talents' all around us.
