We’ve Combined Our Blogs — to be more efficient & timely
Friends, my drpaulwhite.com blog was started several years ago (as www.drpaulwhite.com was the first website we built). Over time, we added the website for the Motivating By Appreciation Inventory, our main website at appreciationatwork.com , and also thevibrantworkplace.com . As the services I provided grew into different areas, I attempted to do a blog both for: a) the areas of

Consider Persevering in the New Year
It’s that time of the year again – when we think about resolutions for the new year. Rather than considering a new list of “to do’s”, I’ve been thinking more about the role of perseverance in our lives, and in the lives of those who accomplish meaningful goals. While resolving to start new habits or achieve new goals is obviously

How to Build Positive Relationships at Work
In the past, an employee’s relationship with their direct supervisor was found to be one of the most influential factors on whether or not the employee enjoyed their job. However, this dynamic has changed somewhat. Jared Lindzon, in this article about change and work, spoke to analyst Josh Bersin who says, “Most companies, even big companies, are much less hierarchal

Don’t Be a Turkey in How You Communicate Appreciation This Thanksgiving
Team leaders are often encouraged (“bombarded” is actually a better word) to communicate appreciation to colleagues during the Thanksgiving holiday season. Expressing thanks for a job well done is sure to be received well, right? Not necessarily. At times, clueless managers are at risk for saying “thanks” in ways that won’t be received well. They don’t really “get” appreciation and

How Being Invited to Have a Snowball Fight Made My Day
Last week, we had a fairly large snowstorm roll through, leaving about 7″ of snow on the ground (which is a fair amount for us, but nothing in comparison to the Northeast). And it stayed cold for a number of days, so the snow stayed around. This weekend it warmed up a little, so the snow was really good for

What is the Connection between Valentine’s Day and Appreciation in the Workplace? Not Much! (with one exception)
Valentine’s day is quickly approaching. It is a great opportunity to communicate your love to those close to you. Unfortunately, it seems many in the world of employee recognition try to link recognition and appreciation to any holiday (I can’t wait to see what they try to do with St. Patrick’s Day!) So let me state firmly upfront — there

Maybe It Would Be Better to Finish Some Tasks Rather Than Start Something New
This is the time of year when many are thinking of New Year’s resolutions, “turning over a new leaf”, and the sort (or we were a week ago.) But I’ve been thinking more about the role of perseverance in our lives, and in the lives of those who accomplish meaningful accomplishments, than I am thinking about starting a list of

Why Authenticity is All You Need During the Holidays
We all feel a lot of pressure regarding things we “should do” during the holidays — for our family, friends, co-workers, clients, boss. It gets to the point that the expectations feel overwhelming, and the temptation is just to “shut down” and do nothing (for anyone!) This is typically not a good solution. Let me offer an alternative solution to

Transitioning into Young Adulthood — 5 Steps for a Smoother Pathway
Recently, a few Baby Boomer parents have talked with me about the difficulties their young adult children are experiencing in transitioning from college into adulthood — and asked me to write some tips for young adults to help make this season of their life go better. Ok, so here are my thoughts. First, let’s understand why so many young people
