High 5 for Friday: The Summer Heat is On!

It's been a steamy couple of weeks here in the Midwest! I'm looking forward to some relief from it this weekend. Mother nature may have turned up the heat, but it hasn't stopped me! Check out my High 5 for Friday thoughts and tips based on this week's events!

Mission Possible: 30-Day Challenge to a Better Workplace and a Better YOU!

One of the greatest new tools in our Managers' Corner this year is our 30-Day Recognition Mission. The inspiration for this product came about a year ago when our CEO held an inspirational meeting for a team of us that were about to be tasked with doing a little blue sky thinking. He hoped that this TED talk by Matt Cutts might drum up a little "we can do it" team spirit, and while it certainly did that, it also inspired a wonderful new product that can bring big change to your workplace in just 30 short days.

The idea behind Matt Cutts' talk is that if you really want something badly enough, you can do anything for 30 days. And, as it turns out, 30 days is just the perfect amount of time to build a new habit into your lifestyle, or let an old habits fall to the wayside!

Enter in the 30-Day Recognition Mission! This product line has been designed to help managers on all levels within the organization build habits of recognition, appreciation, awareness, and ultimately individual and team growth.



We've developed 4 different sets to accommodate all management scenarios:
The 30-Day Recognition Mission: Excel as a NEW MANAGER in just 30 days!
The 30-Day Recognition Mission: MASTERING MANAGEMENT in just 30 days!
The 30-Day Recognition Mission: Build a SUPREME TEAM in just 30 days!
The 30-Day Recognition Mission: Become an INSPIRING LEADER in just 30 days!


Each mission comes with 30 activity cards, and when I say activity, don't let that scare you. Some days you are simply inspired by a quote, while others you are prompted to take some time in your journal (we've included one with every 30-Day Mission so no excuses!), and every 3rd day you will be encouraged to get out and act on the new habits you are building.



Whether you're a brand new manager, a seasoned veteran in the management field, team leader, or a leader in the C-Suite, our 30-Day Missions will help you build better relationships with your team members, peers, and the people around you.

Ready for the icing on the cake? Once you've received your 30-Day Mission, head online to register your product. We'll be there with you each step of the way, cheering you on, reminding you how awesome you are, helping you to gain as much from your 30-Day commitment as possible. And at the end of it all? A sweet reward just for you: your very own 30-Day Recognition Mission Twist Top Tumbler! But you have to start, register, and FINISH the mission first!

Ready? Let's do this! I can't wait to hear about your results!

Our Latest Free Download Is More than Fun & Games!

I’ve written before about the value of goofing off (once in a while) at work, and I still stand behind my belief that games = gain. But what if there were an office game that encouraged and motivated desired behaviors by design?

There is, and it’s now available to you free in our Recognition Resource Center! Our version of office BINGO, called BRAVO (of course), has an assortment of sentiments that put the words in your mouth when you want to recognize a great job, a great attitude, or just greatness in general.

You can download it here to get started. Then hand one card out to each team member and challenge them all to get a BRAVO. How will they achieve it? By going above and beyond, working extra, helping a coworker, exceeding expectations, or any other action that makes you want to shout BRAVO!

Your job is to pay attention, so you notice when these amazing moments are happening, then make sure you mark or stamp a circle on their card that expresses your awe.

That’s all there is to it. You decide the duration of the game, the number of possible winners, and if there are prizes. 

Have fun!

And, if you do have fun, tell us about it!
