Ep. 162 – Mastering the Art Of Recognition as a Small Business Leader

October 1, 2024

People may forget what you say; forget what you did; but they will never forget how you make them feel – take on the famous quote Maya Angelou. 

So how do you make people feel? Your clients, your team, your suppliers?? 

My guest today is known as the FROG Lady – listen and find out why and how recognition can play an important part of your role as CEO of your small business. 

Sarah McVanel is a globally recognized Recognition Expert, acclaimed speaker and author – as well as a recovering perfectionist, mom and an entrepreneur with too many letters after her name for me to count! 

Sarah and I discuss and laugh about: 

  • When I first met her and what I thought about her business then 
  • Why she is known as the FROG lady 
  • What FROG stands for 
  • Simple ways to incorporate recognition in our daily lives – the correct way 
  • A simple exercise you can do for self-recognition 
  • A link between recognition and avoiding burn out 
  • Some great examples of how you can make others feel appreciated
