Turns out there isn't a universal language to show appreciation. I just published “To show recognition, try speaking a different language” for managers and those they manage. medium.com/@katiemdill/to-sh… … Inspired by "The 5 Love Languages -- Dr. Gary Chapman.

One guide to rule them all: that's what I push for when I'm closely collaborating with a design lead and we're working under the umbrella of a single message architecture. It's better for brand development, better for the audience, and better for the in-house communicators.

How to improve your listening skills: 1 talk less 2 do not interrupt 3 maintain direct eye contact 4 put your phone down 5 listen with eyes; look for the unsaid 6 be interested; care more 7 if you're waiting for a pause, so that you can speak, then you're not actively listening
