Recognition is always giving more confidence to do more

Celebrate Every Win—Big or Small! 🎉 Whether it's ticking off a task on your to-do list or winning a big award, every win deserves recognition. 🙌 Why? Because celebrating your achievements—no matter how small—boosts your confidence and keeps you motivated. It's a reminder of the progress you're making, even on those days when it feels like nothing's moving forward. So, take a moment to celebrate the little victories. They all add up to something bigger! ✨ What’s one win you’ve had today? Drop it in the comments and let’s celebrate together! 🎊 #CelebrateYourWins #SmallVictories #ConfidenceBoost #BusinessGrowth #ProgressNotPerfection

How are those New Year’s Resolutions going? It’s okay if things aren’t turning out the way you originally planned. Improving yourself is hard work! Take just a moment to celebrate everything you’ve already accomplished this month. Even if you haven’t done everything you set out to do, did you make some progress? Did you push yourself? That’s something to be proud of! Today, try to celebrate your wins. Give yourself some rest. Becoming your best self is a marathon, not a sprint.

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?

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.

Empathy makes for a good PM and a GREAT leader.
