I need to have a little heart-to-heart with you. I know you care about your team. I know you want them to feel appreciated. But that pizza party you threw? That gift card? That holiday spa day? Yeah… it might not be doing what you think it’s doing.

In this episode, I’m walking you through the biggest leadership blind spot I see: assuming everyone feels appreciated the same way.

They don’t.

I’ll show you how love languages can be the secret weapon for truly connecting with your team in a way that matters to them, not you.

And I’m not talking about huge, expensive gestures. Sometimes a simple sentence or a short chat means more than any gift ever could.

This is one of those episodes that could seriously change the culture of your practice. Simple concepts. Huge results.

Press play and let’s talk about how to finally show appreciation in a way that lands.
