Meaningful Recognition

When was the last time you received “meaningful” recognition?

Meaningfulness occurs when people experience an activity that resonates with their chosen values, or when it connects them with people they like, raises their sense of competence, or gives them an ah-ha moment of insight.

I think meaningful recognition occurs when an individual’s contributions are properly acknowledged and appreciated in such a way that the person feels honored, valued and respected.

This is why I state that “Real Recognition” happens when the giver and the recipient BOTH feel recognized. Meaningful recognition is a two way street between the recognizer and recognizee.
