Acknowledgment Works - Training in Essential Management Skills

AcknowledgmentWorks trains managers in the skills and tools necessary to insure acknowledgment is present in the workplace.

The interactive awareness, training, and action methodology used by AcknowledgmentWorks has your managers experience the power of acknowledgment, explore their personal experience of acknowledgment, and learn and practice the techniques necessary to give and receive powerful acknowledgment to both their superiors and subordinates.

They will look at how factors such as age, seniority, gender, race, and ethnicity impact our ability to give and receive praise. Participants will develop a working understanding of the common associations that limit our capacity to give and receive acknowledgment, developing an awareness that will both help them accept praise, and create acknowledgment messages that land with others.

From our research, we found that there are ways that acknowledgment can actually create distrust in organizations. Managers will be introduced to the 4 most common mistakes around using praise that generate distrust. Participants will learn how to avoid these ineffective practices and become more effective in delivering acknowledgment.

Managers will walk away from the AcknowledgmentWorks Program with activities and practices that will help them bring back the lessons of the workshop and implement them in the office immediately.

AcknowledgmentWorks offers coaching and support following the programs to insure that managers have the support needed to transfer what they learned.
