Appreciate those that show up!👏🏾

🔥

This is just a small reminder that even if engagement isn't sky-high in your community, it’s still worth taking a moment (at the very least at the end of each month) to appreciate and highlight your top contributors.

I just had my weekly community call, where one person was able to show up. I still gave the full presentation I had prepared, and he shared how much it meant to him that I highlighted him last month, as he was at the top of the 30-day leaderboard.

His words were: "I never really win anything, so just being highlighted and acknowledged this way means a lot, and I appreciate it."

This also reminded me of when I used to practice public speaking in the past, and one important lesson I learned was to never make those who show up feel like their presence and effort aren’t worth it.

That’s actually the fastest way to lose all engagement in your community.

So all in all I just wanted to end this post by reminding you that highlighting people does so much for their confidence and morale because they feel seen and valued.

How often do you recognize and highlight top contributors in your community?

Monthly, as it's been a great way to keep engagement up! 🎉

Occasionally, but I want to be more more consistent doing it. 📆

Haven't started yet, but I’m inspired to give it a try! 👏

Not sure how to approach it—looking for tips! 🤔
