On July 27, I was a guest on the Karl and June Morning Show – Moody Radio, 90.1 FM. All of us thrive in an atmosphere of appreciation. The challenge, however, is to know what actions actually demonstrate appreciation to each unique individual on your team. We all have a different way of receiving appreciation. Knowing each team member’s language of appreciation matters. “The level of satisfaction experienced at work is significantly influenced by the degree to which the employee feels appreciated by those around them.”–Gary Chapman
Hi Susan, So what is your love language?
Gary Chapman’s book on the 5 Love Languages is so awesome applied to the relationships in my life. Dave and I took the Love Language Quiz. Mine was words of affirmation and touch. Dave’s was quality time and acts of service. It was so awesome to find that out. He always asks if I want to ride along to menard’s or other such supply stores, lives to take walks etc. knowing that I now am able to say sure I will ride along with you.
I would yearn for words written in a card beyond “I love you’. I usually will write a book in a card I am giving someone. Funny now Dave will write a book in a card he’s giving me! I so treasure words of appreciation and affirmation!
Well I could go on and on.
Thank you Susan for continuing to share your DAPO discoveries with the world. What a difference you are making in the lives of so many people! May God continue to bless you on this mission He has set you upon. It is a joy to know you and your athenticity!
