How do you celebrate your achievements? No matter how big or small, you need to get into the habit of treating yourself and celebrating your wins. Why? The answer is simple: because you’re worth it. You are enough, you are worthy of celebration, you are deserving of accolades, and you have earned the right to be proud of what you have achieved. So, treat yourself to something nice: a nap, an ice cream date, a massage, a new book… the sky’s the limit! Celebrating your wins boosts your confidence and feelings of fulfillment, making it easier when times are tight to pull on your reserves of positivity and perseverance. If you’d like help learning how to make treating yourself and celebrating your achievements a norm in your life, send me a message 🤗

Are you celebrating your wins? Like, truly celebrating them? 🤔 Many people don’t realize that celebrating your wins, whether big or small, is important for enhancing your emotional state. Celebrating your wins triggers pride and happiness within you. It's about acknowledging the progress you’ve made, even if it’s small. And it’s about recognizing your efforts and giving yourself the credit you deserve. So if you’re always on the go, jumping to the next sales call or closing your next deal, you’re skipping a crucial step. Remember, your brain isn’t designed to keep you happy. It’s designed to keep you alive. So train your brain to be happy. Take a moment, celebrate, and feel the joy of your achievements.

When it comes to showing recognition for the good work people do, bigger isn't always better. Sure, accolades and awards can be great. But have you ever had someone tell you how grateful they are for you? No spot lights. No LinkedIn post. No blasting it on the company email chain. Just one-on-one, Telling someone how special they are. Now that's something people never forget. You see, Many managers think showing recognition has to be this big public occasion. They'll go through all the trouble to show recognition, But won't take the little step to thank someone privately. Here's a groundbreaking thought ... do both! Do the big stuff sure, But remember it's the private stuff that feels really meaningful. Some great ways to better show appreciation to your team: https://buff.ly/4bHvMKq.

Client: l don’t know what l want or what l want to talk about. Me: That’s okay, we can sit and work together with the unknown to bring it into the known. Client: l took some photos of me and l really like them. Me: That sounds like confidence. Client: Yes, l feel more confident. We never know what our clients will bring to their sessions. It’s not all about being alongside your client through their pain of the known and unknown. There are also moments of celebrating the wins that lay beyond that pain. This is why l do what l do 😊

▶️It’s OK to opt IN to your promotion ceremony◀️ . (I debated posting this but I’ve heard enough general chatter about attending promotion ceremonies, that I thought it merited discussion.) . If you are fortunate enough to work for an organization that holds promotion ceremonies, attend yours. . ❌Myth 1 - My promotion/position isn’t special enough. ✅Fact - Your promotion is a culmination of your hard work, combined with the time/energy/effort of those who mentored & supported you, regardless of rank/position. . ❌Myth 2 - I want to be humble and don’t want to promote my own success by attending a ceremony. ✅Fact - You didn’t attain a new position on your own. Allow those that helped you to the next level celebrate with you. . ❌Myth 3 - I could use the time on more important things. ✅Fact - There will always be time for more work. If you don’t take time to pause momentarily, reflect on your professional journey, and thank those that paved the way, you are missing out. . 🌟BONUS - Promotions are an opportunity for your FAMILY & your WORK FAMILY to interact. For me, this means when I have to tell my kids I’m stuck in the office on a late assignment, they can mentally picture who I’m working with - which is a huge help in bridging understanding at their level ❤️ . OPT IN. This is especially important for leaders - if we don’t opt in to our ceremonies, we are subconsciously signaling that promotions don’t matter. Which may lead others to think they shouldn’t opt in to theirs either. . If you’re like me (an introvert when it comes to ceremony and attention of this kind), this is uncomfortable. And that’s what leadership is - doing the uncomfortable things to instill confidence in those that follow. —— Timothy Hoffman - thanks for being my rock & biggest supporter. None of this would be possible without you. We make the best team. 🥰 ———————————- The above message and associated post contain the personal views/beliefs of the poster and do not reflect the views of the Texas Department of Public Safety

In my previous post, I asked you to take some time to celebrate yourself and your accomplishments over the past year. So often, we spend the holidays celebrating our colleagues and team members that we forget to do the same for ourselves. In that post, you had a few journal prompts to help you reflect & celebrate the past year of your life as CEO. Internal validation is crucial as a leader, as we don’t always receive validation from those around us. After all, when you’re a CEO there aren’t as many true peers compared to other employees. And quite frankly, not having that validation, not having people who support and celebrate you, can be difficult. It’s lonely at the top. In fact, this is why I became a Vistage Chair and formed Nashville Execs. During my 20 years of working in the corporate world, I consistently saw c-suite executives who lacked support. Our Vistage groups bridge that gap. We meet one day each month to talk all things life and business. No, we don’t just do water cooler talk. We dive in deep to the obstacles you’re encountering as a leader and within your business. It’s your opportunity to get both the collaboration and challenge you need to take yourself and your company to the next level. Interested in learning more? Send me a message and let’s talk!

There’s so many ways to be a good place to work or a good person to work for. But if we aren’t practicing this one thing, it’s impossible to be great. It’s imperative that we understand and practice the difference between Recognition and Appreciation. Recognition is focused on a persons achievements. Appreciation is a practice of expression for a persons value. In what ways do you receive appreciation at work? We’d love to hear from you.
