• Facilitated discussion based on the following questions:

  • Which story or idea resonated most?

  • What’s the difference between reward and recognition?

  • What gets in the way of showing appreciation?

  • What’s one way to ‘encourage the heart’ this week?

Do you and/or your clients struggle with building the relationships you need to build trust and competency? Do you find that leaders try to enable but end up missing the mark?

Author, Kelly Ann McKnight, will share how this one Element of The Resilience WayTM allows us to build the types of relationships that support both leaders and followers. By the end of the session, you will have some new ways of thinking about Enabling Others to Act conversations with your clients.
