"Hey Christopher! You have been nominated as one of 2024's Most Influential Chief Learning Officers...." Oh wow! What an unexpected surprise. "...you can claim this nomination for the nominal fee of $2500." Ahhhh....I see what you did there. *delete* Recognition is a powerful motivator, and can be used to bring out the best in people around you. However, when recognition is insincere or comes with strings attached, you'll lose any temporary gains it created. Furthermore, you'll erode trust, damaging the relationship and driving performance far below the level it was at when you started. So, make time and be intentional about recognizing people for all the great work they do. However, check your motives and make sure you're not trying to slip in a hidden agenda, or it will come back to bite you.

It is so easy to say "no" - Why not say yes? We have always strived to say YES whenever possible. Saying Yes is not always easy. For us it sometimes requires working late, rush shipping, and all kinds of stress behind the scenes. Why do we say yes? Imagine if you work hard to meet your goals and your employer is hosting a recognition ceremony to showcase all of the hard work of the top performers. What if they reach out to their awards supplier and were told NO! The deadline cannot be met, the item is out of stock, the production time is too long - and they are crazy for even asking. What if you are the one that shows up and does not receive that award? How does that make you feel? It's not always about the client, it's more about the receiver of that item. How will it make them feel? No matter how big or small, and sometimes the smaller orders, make the most impact, try saying yes! Now, I am not saying we can always say yes, but if it is remotely possible, maybe we should. We are not hero, the client is the hero, we are just the guide.

I've always believed that a successful negotiation isn't just about getting to "yes," but also mastering the "no" and understanding what the path to an agreement really is. Im Excited to share that I've recently joined "The Essential Negotiator" Training by Ryan Gray, powered by Coca-Cola HBC! A special thanks to Ahmed El Shimy for making this opportunity possible. Looking forward to applying my new skills and techniques in negotiations and taking on new challenges! #negotiation #professionaldevelopment #cocacolahbc #careeradvancement
