I only hear when things aren’t 100%

What is Learn2Appreciate?

Several years ago when managing a team in a small organization a friend presented me with an advanced copy of a book about to be released. After reading just one chapter I quickly concluded that I needed to share this concept. The words and principles of this book resonated with the type of culture that I had experienced and enjoyed. Learn2Appreciate was born! I began conducting more research and engaging with numerous leaders, managers, CEO’s, volunteers, employees, friends and family, it was clear that genuine, authentic appreciation in the workplace was hit and miss. Although many stated that the culture in their organization was positive and appreciation noticeable, a high percentage felt that this was not the case. Appreciation in organizational culture, then, fits the ways any organization conducts its business, treats its employees, customers, and the wider community.

Enthusiasm

The English Oxford dictionary defines it as “Intense and eager enjoyment, interest, or approval.” Participants receive a spark, inspiration or “Ah –Ha” moment. Understanding and demonstrating the concepts and importance of authentic appreciation injects enthusiasm leading to a positive effect in a company’s culture. Enthusiasm is contagious!

Encouragement

Everyone needs to be encouraged! Whether you’re the president, owner, supervisor or front-line worker of an organization we all thrive in an atmosphere of appreciation. Participants learn what actions will encourage others in the workplace. “The greatest asset I possess and the way to develop the best that is in a person is by appreciation and encouragement.” (Charles Schwab).

Engagement

Organizations use rewards and recognition programs to increase employee engagement. Unfortunately, many of these programs are costly and ineffective and can actually backfire. Communicating the language of appreciation that is important to each individual hits the mark and has a positive effect on the organization’s culture.

Enthusiasm. Encouragement. Engagement.

What our clients are saying

It is with much enthusiasm that I am writing to recommend the invaluable presentation of The 5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace by Brian Reynolds. We were looking for a workshop that would speak to our leadership team and at the same time target the demographics of the area we serve locally. We were delighted by the information that Brian systematically presented. It was fresh, it was relevant, his teaching style was engaging and all who came to the seminar left with valuable tools to implement in their own life and in the framework of their specific company. I’m happy to recommend The 5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace course taught by Brian Reynolds. Deon Malloy

Center of Hope International Church

Our staff set aside a day apart with Brian Reynolds to discover our individual languages of appreciation. It was a fun and enriching day where we gained greater insight into each other and learned how to better support each other and communicate the value that each person brings to the team. Brian was an excellent and patient facilitator. He answered our questions, dealt sensitively to any reservations that arose, challenged us to be better, and celebrated our team strengths. He also is a tremendous role model for apprecia- tion and followed up with us soon after to see how we were applying the new information. At Plan to Protect we work together so well as a team but we know we can do better and build into each other’s lives, greater appreciation for each other. This course provided the momentum and skills to do just that. Melodie Bissell
