Listen "Ep120 - Leaders Showing Appreciation, with Avi Liran"
Episode Synopsis
Leaders harnessing the essence of appreciation are rewarded with higher engagement and trust.
My guest, Avi Liran, has spent a decade researching Appreciation. Fascinated by the power of positivity and ability of words and tone to transform, Avi Liran is a super optimist believing in igniting inner joy, in people's lives and experiences.
Avi says, “In my workshop, we work a few hours on Appreciation. Each person writes on an envelope the date, they sign, they write their own name on the envelope, and then they put the envelope to the right, and they get another envelope with the name of another person. And then they write for the next person how much they appreciate them, as many things as possible.
And when they receive it, I ask them 2 questions.
One question is, “How do you feel?”
And the second question, “What surprised you?”
Nina, you would be amazed how many people are totally surprised that other people appreciate them. They never knew how much people appreciate them. They thought they were transparent; and that's wrong, because people do appreciate people.
