Getting buy in from Senior Leaders about Diversity and Inclusion can be tough.
Especially if you only offer them the following:
- Panel Events
- Celebration Meals
- Award Ceremonies
Instead engage them by:
- Changing their minds
- Getting them to self reflect
- Interrupting their old behaviours
The former lasts one night.
The latter can last forever.

Not often do I get goose pimples at an Award Ceremony, especially overseas, but today I did.
The ceremony for Time Dealer of the Year, showcased so many exceptional dealers. Not their day to day performance, which is a given to make the final short list, but what they do for their communities, their staff, their customers and the industry.
To hear the receiving speech from Rita Case, was inspiring. I literally had goose pimples. What a woman, what an industry, what an inspiration to grow with our industry staff and people. Never has supporting and training our people been so clear as to what positive results can be achieved.
What business, organization, or individual will you be nominating for their innovation, dedication, or outstanding contributions? Charisse is here to explain the nomination process. Let’s celebrate together!
My kids eat fruit as a snack, and I think that’s a win.
It’s not revolutionary, it’s not unique to me or my family, but it’s a win and I’m proud of it. When I see them do it I tell them it’s a great choice, and that I’m proud of them.
Why is this on LinkedIn? Because celebrating wins is always the right thing to do.
Tell your team when they’re doing well. It doesn’t have to be some giant act of recognition saved for only the biggest wins. In fact, I would argue that if you only recognize your team when they deliver on huge wins, you will deliver them less frequently and slower than if you had celebrated wins along the way.
Pro tip, if recognition for your team isn’t formally built into your standard work or on your calendar as a recurring item, it should be 😊
