Published: Jan. 14, 2022, 8 a.m.

I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve heard by now in your leadership journey that it\u2019s important to celebrate your wins, but are we doing it correctly? While leaders are running from task to task, I find often that too many don\u2019t pause to recognize their milestones. In this episode, I want to talk about taking stock, reflecting, and celebrating the incredible accomplishments, big or small, that you and your teams are achieving.

Jump into this Ask Denis 250th episode, and let\u2019s talk about how to celebrate milestones.

On this episode:

  • I explain the three big questions to ask yourself during times of reflection: what went well? What could we have done differently? And, what will we do differently going forward? 
  • When we take time out to recognize others\u2019 wins, it\u2019s incredible what can happen. I share a story of the impact authenticity can have on celebrating people's achievements.

Key Takeaways:

  • Take time to pause and take stock of your progress
  • You don\u2019t have to budget time to celebrate 
  • A simple \u201cthank you\u201d goes a long way
  • Recognition needs to be authentic 
  • Let it become a regular occurrence
  • A big thank you to everyone who has helped shape this show
