1.\n2.Applaud everybody’s brilliance. Most people are more brilliant then they realize. They just need someone to reflect that brilliance back to them. That’s where you come in. If you want to unlock people’s awesomeness, it starts with the sincere belief that everyone has something worth sticking out there. Then, it’s just a matter of affirmation. For example, here’s what I do with my coaching clients: When someone says something brilliant, I usually say, “That’s a great insight! Have you written about that yet?” Now, most people say no. Either because they’re not disciplined enough to capture the majority of their brilliance; or because they don’t believe that they possess brilliance. So, what I usually do is write down their insight FOR them. Right then and there. In my journal. In front of their eyes. This honors their thoughts and demonstrates listening. Then, later on that day, I’ll email their words back to them with a note that says, “Once again, great insight! But if you don’t write this down, I’m going to steal it from you and take credit for it.” Whose brilliance needs reflecting and applauding? How are you laying a foundation of affirmation? And what would happen if you attended to everyone you encountered as a brilliant person who had something unique to stick out there?\n\n

That’s the secret to recognition: Isn’t corporate initiative – it’s a constitutional ingredient. How are you making gratitude palpable and recurrent?\n\n
