I’ve been hearing a little about people not feeling appreciated or valued recently. I wonder what it takes to make you feel appreciated.
Is it a touch on the arm by someone close?
Is it hearing someone saying “well done”?
What about other people enjoying something you’ve created, like a good meal or a work of art?
Do you feel valued and appreciated at work? What does it take to make you feel that way?
Is it about being given greater responsibility or your supervisors taking your ideas seriously?
Do you feel appreciated when your company gets recognised for a job in which you’ve played a major role?
Is it about receiving awards or bonuses?
How do we know we’re appreciated? And if we crave that sense of appreciation and value for ourselves, are we ensuring that we let other people know that we value them?
