Listen "Feeling Unappreciated at Work? Here's What Might Really Be Going On"
Episode Synopsis
Have you ever poured your energy into your job, only to feel like no one notices? Feeling unappreciated at work chips away at your motivation, mood and sense of purpose. But often, it’s not that your contributions aren’t valued, it’s that there’s a disconnect between how you expect to be appreciated and how your manager naturally expresses it. In this episode of Unwind Your Mind, I unpack the hidden dynamics behind workplace appreciation. You’ll learn how to identify your own “appreciation language,” why mismatched expectations can leave you feeling unseen, and how to have constructive conversations that shift the way you’re recognised at work. If you’ve been feeling undervalued or if you’re a manager who wants to keep your team engaged and motivated, this episode is for you. HERE ARE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣Feeling unappreciated doesn’t always mean you’re not valued, it might just be a communication gap. 2️⃣Everyone has different “appreciation languages” from Words of Recognition to Trust and Autonomy. 3️⃣Small, intentional conversations about what support looks like for you can make a big difference in your work satisfaction.
