“We've stripped so much of the feelings out of the business world that we're missing the opportunity to affirm people.”


In this episode, Rebecca takes a long, hard look at the importance of affirmation over feedback in our personal and professional lives. She shares her personal experience as a writer and her son's journey as a musician, highlighting the power that positive words have in inspiring and motivating us to do more of what brings us joy and resonates with others.


Listen in to learn a simple formula for affirming others and discover the transformational effects this practice can have.


In this episode, you’ll learn:


  1. Highlight the qualities, actions, or contributions of people around you, explaining why it's relevant, and sharing the positive impact it has made
  2. Acknowledge and affirm someone's authentic self and how they show up in the world to have a profound impact on their confidence and overall well-being
  3. When we affirm and uplift others, it creates a more positive and supportive environment for everyone
