A surprise note left on a desk. Kind words shared in front of the entire group. An actual pat on the back. These are all ways that you can show gratitude. But the way you choose to show appreciation might not be the optimal way that others receive it, making it less effective. Learning how to best connect with people based on their preferences helps you connect more deeply. It can lead to better communication with your loved ones and your colleagues feeling more understood and appreciated. Walk away from this engaging session with multiple strategies to show appreciation with others (and with yourself!).
