Appreciation Series: Words of Affirmation

Understanding how people feel appreciated varies significantly between individuals, with five distinct appreciation languages determining what makes team members feel truly valued.

• Words of affirmation can be delivered through praise for accomplishments, character affirmations, or personality trait recognition
• Recognition delivery matters significantly – some prefer public praise while others find it mortifying
• Understanding if someone prefers one-on-one, small group, or large group recognition is crucial
• Written appreciation allows some people to save and reference positive feedback later
• Creating a "Working With Me" guide helps teams understand individual preferences and communication styles
• Generic praise becomes meaningless when overused or applied too broadly
• Workplace appreciation must be specific and personalized to remain effective
• The Discord has a poll about appreciation languages – join and share your preferences
