DESCRIPTION: 
“Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy. They are the charming gardeners who make our souls bloom.”- Marcel Proust
Recognition and praise are NOT one size fit all; each of us have preferred methods of receiving appreciation. 

Words of Affirmation
Acts of Service
Tangible Gifts
Quality Time
Physical Touch


Dr. Gary Chapman and Dr. Paul White, “The 5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace”
Most of us have 1 or 2 languages that speak most readily to us, and some of us have a language that is uncomfortable or inauthentic. 
Note: When showing appreciation to others (or when receiving it yourself), it’s important that it is aligned with the style(s) to which the recipient connects/resonates… not the giver’s preferred method.
