Be Strong International ’s Post

As much as it might make our British toes curl, it’s about time we championed the compliment! 🏆   We’re all busy spinning plates and putting out fires, so it’s easy to see why giving someone a quick pat on the back might fall way down the pecking order.   But this quote really resonated with us, and goes back to exactly why traditional values are so important in business:   “Gratitude is not about a one-time holiday party, day off, or spot bonus…It is about creating a culture of gratitude.”   Showing our appreciation in the moment may seem small, but it’s all part of building the bigger picture and creating a culture where everyone feels motivated to go the extra mile. Only then can we kick ass!   Our words have power, just as our copywriting queen Amy Finn will tell you 😉   So many of our wonderful clients and suppliers regularly take time out of their chaotic schedules to say a big thank you, which believe us when we say, goes a long way! That's why we thought we’d return the favour and kick off #NationalComplimentDay with just a few kind words of our own…   ⭐️ Bobby Vanderplank at #DalesCornwall- Your unwavering enthusiasm and positivity never fails to inspire us! ⭐️ Tim Morant at Hardings Print Solutions - No matter how urgent or ridiculous our print request, you will find a way to make it happen…sometimes against all odds! ⭐️ Julie Alsua and Juliette Delforge at TE Connectivity - Behind every well oiled machine is a meticulously organised and expertly coordinated team… and your exceptional project management skills make everything we work on together an absolute dream! ⭐️ Elizabeth Sanchez at SEKO Logistics - Our award for the most creative compliment giver definitely goes to you! You always have our back and are never without a kind word to say ❤️ Keep the compliments coming... POST yours in the comments below! Too much mushy stuff for a Monday?! 😉 #Team #Culture #Values #ThankYou #ClientSatisfaction #TeamAppreciation #TeamCulture #Compliment #Testimonial #TraditionalValues

Do you want to make a difference to someone's day by doing something really simple? If you are in, then let’s start rolling the cycle of appreciation today. This was initiated by one of the patients I saw today. On her way out of the clinic, she made a comment (see pic below). I honestly did not do anything different for her than what I would normally do. But It felt extremely good to receive a compliment out of the blue through another staff member. That remark was enough to make me feel appreciated throughout the day. Appreciation provides an immediate boost to the reward centers in our brains and gives us that “high”. It also makes us feel safe, valued, and remain motivated. This is what makes it easier to continue working in stressful environments. These little things are ways to build sustainable resilience. Why don’t you share a compliment too with someone you felt has helped you? Make their day and contribute to their resilience. I will do the same :-) #summit21

I shared some thoughts on our intranet about a red plate we have at home. The lettering along its rim says it all: “You are special today.”  It’s a little thing, but that red plate always makes a big difference in the mood at our table when it comes out. Recognition is a powerful thing. When we feel seen, supported or celebrated, we also feel a sense of belonging. That’s true in families and social groups, and it’s also true on the job. I love that my team is so good at recognition. It comes through in emails, in the applause that sometimes breaks out on our floor, in a traveling trophy one group uses and in hallway chats. Sometimes, it’s not about recognizing the achievement, but about recognizing the people and their lives in and out of the office. In a fast-paced, hard-working culture, recognition is especially important. A big win is sometimes a long time in the making – all the more reason to celebrate the small wins along the way. It’s also good to remember that while formal awards are nice, the informal recognition that comes from genuine caring makes a difference, too. A genuine note of thanks, a friendly smile and showing interest in someone else’s triumphs and challenges all tell people not only that their work matters, but that they matter, too. No red plate required. #celebratesuccess #kindnessmatters
