What do you want to be acknowledged for? Christopher Littlefield at TEDxBeirut

[@HiddenPousadas]

My Dad was a headmaster and when he passed away my mum got a whole load of letters from ex pupils of his saying what a difference he had made to their lives his believing in them. I think praise where praise is due may be difficult to take but that and encouragement always stimulate people to do the best they can and they make for a much better working environment. Thanks for a very stimulating talk, Chris. Really!!

Thank you Chris for this brilliant talk. I was one of those non-believers in acknowledgment and recognition, but now I know how powerful it is in building trust in both personal and professional relationships. Thank you once again :)

Thank you everyone for the amazing comments! What I have found is that no one needs recognition, but life is just a whole lot better when it is there! When people feel recognized(this is not just verbal recognition but also autonomy at work, new responsibilities, creative license on a project, etc.) they feel valued...when people feel valued they tend to value those who value them.

Can't stop applying and talking about your ideas, Chris. Thanks!

I'm a workaholic, programmed to evaluate myself based on everyday's work. But COVID19 lockdowns mean no work and sadly no peers. Being forced to evaluate this mysterious soup of self-value, peer recognition & acknowledgement and even love is hard. Thanks for your wonderful insights and clear talk.

Thanks for your comment. It has never been more important to reach out and show let others know we value them!

A great talk Chris! It made an impact on our everyday communication with coworkers, friends, and loved ones :)

Great job Chris! I was excited to see this one again!

I'm giving you RECOGNITION. Get talk with an important message that narcissists - especially in my home town of LA - need to hear! It's weird how I am SO recognized in my career, yet the ONE recognition I need to hear is, "You are so thin!"
