Looking to recognize an achievement in a unique way? Skip the traditional plaque or trophy and consider delighting your recipients with a custom Caricature Recognition Award. These one-of-a-kind awards are sure to stand apart and reflect the special nature of your event or recipient. And why stop there? Create a recognition wall of fame to showcase your honorees and their accomplishments. Don't settle for ordinary awards that will soon be forgotten - make your recognition truly memorable with a personalized touch.
You may have a seen a post I shared a few weeks ago receiving an award and wondering why it took me a year to celebrate that win publicly (this photo is from that same event).
Upon reflection, I've realized that my hesitance to celebrate is part of a larger pattern. I have never stopped to really celebrate my wins. I am guilty of constantly moving on to the next thing dismissing past achievements as if they were mere steps on an endless escalator. The win, once it's in the rearview mirror, somehow loses its sheen because it's "in the past."
I cannot be the only one who is like this. Am I? Help me out here.
But I am coming to understand that celebrating our achievements isn't about living in the past; it's about recognizing the journey and the growth that comes with each milestone.
Many of us, myself included, are wired to look forward, to chase the horizon. There's always a new goal, a new challenge. And while that drive is valuable, it's equally important to pause, look back, and honour how far we've come. Our wins, big or small, are not just trophies to collect but reminders of our resilience, hard work, and the support we've had along the way.
Even in writing this I know I will still find it challenging to do, so, I'm making a commitment to not only chase the future but to also honour the present and respect the past. I endeavour to celebrate my wins, to savour the moments of success, and to appreciate the journey because the future is never guaranteed.
Will you join me in this practice if you have battled this same malady?
As a leader in business, your focus is almost entirely on what is wrong or what can be improved. Nights like last night help you take a step back and appreciate everything that is right and goes well.
An evening to remember! 🌟 Last night we celebrated the extraordinary winners of our 2024 Ambassadors of Excellence award. It was a joyous occasion filled with pride, gratitude, and admiration. Cheers to our winners, their remarkable achievements, and the bright future ahead!

Entering the awards isn't just about seeking recognition; it's about pushing yourself and your business to new heights. It's about stepping out of my comfort zone and challenging yourself to excel in ways you never thought possible.
The process of preparing for the awards forces you to critically evaluate every aspect of your business and identifies the achievements with celebrating and areas for improvement.
When you are entering – you already winning.

GreenSquareAccord has announced receiving 254 nominations for their Gold Star Awards, describing this as an impressive 42% increase over last year’s entries. However, this claim seems somewhat underwhelming, especially considering their workforce size and the upcoming expenditure for the awards ceremony.
To put this in perspective, with an employee base ranging between 1,000 and 5,000, the 254 nominations represent only about 5.08% to 25.4% of their total staff. Last year’s nominations, calculated to be around 179, indicate a low participation rate.
Moreover, it is important to note that these nominations are solely from staff members, with no input from customers or residents. This exclusion is disheartening, particularly considering the crucial role that customers and residents play in the organisation’s operations. Their feedback and recognition would provide a more comprehensive and authentic measure of performance and service quality.
When considering the costs associated with organising and hosting an awards ceremony, including logistics, venue, awards, and lost productivity, one must question the efficiency and impact of this exercise. The expenditure seems extravagant and not necessarily reflective of broad recognition across the organisation.
Given these figures and the lack of customer/resident involvement, it's crucial to consider whether the awards genuinely enhance morale and recognition or if they simply serve as a costly tradition with limited reach. In light of these numbers, the resources allocated to the Gold Star Awards might be better invested in more impactful employee and customer engagement initiatives, or better yet spent making the homes of their residents safe, warm and dry.
We’ve received 254 nominations for our Gold Star Awards, an impressive 42% increase on last year.
Our awards are an important opportunity for us to recognise and reward the colleagues and teams who go above and beyond and enable us provide a great service to our customers.
Our final ceremony will take place on Wednesday 3 July 2024. We can’t wait to crown our winners, good luck everyone!

Theater Alliance was so pleased to join Booz Allen Hamilton at The Anthem for their Booz Allen Excellence Awards! The talented team of Theater Alliance artists and youth "brought the magic" to the evening of WOW led by Natalie Ade, Kari Merkel, and team.
Arts organizations get asked to perform at these kind of events all the time - and as an artistic leader, we get asked to make those decisions. For me, the question always comes down to #values. Does the organization align with our values of integrity, diversity, and excellence? Does the organization value artists? Does the organization live their values? With #BoozAllenHamilton, the answer was a resounding YES.
Even in the first conversation about the event, we didn't talk about what they needed or how to make all their dreams come true on a tiny budget. Instead, we talked about what they believe in and what we believe in - we talked about the WHY of our organizations. That is what makes a great collaboration and I'm grateful!

I want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible achievements of my colleagues who received nominations and awards at this year's #BoozAllen Excellence Awards. It was an honor to recognize the teams who deliver excellence each day, bringing innovative solutions to the most urgent needs of our clients and our communities. We have the most amazing people, and I am so proud to work with them and empower people to change the world.
Thank you to Rob Silverman and everyone who made this year's event a success. And congratulations to all our winners and nominees!
There’s something about people who are fuelled by an inner fire. Being told offhand, “You can’t” is one source of that fire.
My people teach their girls to marry well and be promoted to matriarch. I lit and kept fuelling my inner fire to be self-sufficient.
Almost 25 years in, my big learning is: Bank. The. Fire.
Mistaking the fuel and fire for identity is an easy but costly one. Being stuck to that fire starts to be self-defeating, if not plain limiting.
We cross the threshold and then we let go of the forging fire that got us there, to move forward in relative peace. Maybe even find new fires.
We have to constantly renew our operating systems of courage.
