The Five Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace
The Five Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace

Are you a professional or a leader in the workplace striving to inspire great performance and retain top talent? If so, you understand the importance of employee recognition. But did you know that appreciation is not a one-size-fits-all concept?

Each individual expresses and receives appreciation in different ways, and understanding these languages can transform your workplace dynamics because if you try to express appreciation in ways that aren’t meaningful to your co-workers, they may not feel valued at all. This is because you and your co-workers are speaking different languages.

Based on the #1 New York Times bestseller, The 5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace, this keynote delves into the profound impact that personalized appreciation can have on employee morale and engagement. Dr. Chapman will help you identify the five languages of appreciation in order to:

Express genuine appreciation to co-workers and staff — even on a tight budget.

Increase loyalty with the employees and volunteers in your organization.

Reduce cynicism and create a more positive work environment.

Improve your ability to show appreciation for difficult colleagues.

Convey the language of physical touch in appropriate ways.
The Five Love Languages

The Five Love Languages

Since the success of his first book, Dr. Chapman has expanded his “Five Love Languages” series with special editions that reach out specifically to singles, men, and parents of teens and young children. Chapman suggests that to discover another person's love language, one must observe the way they express love to others, and analyze what they complain about most often and what they request from their significant other most often. He theorizes that people tend to naturally give love in the way that they prefer to receive love.
Keeping Love Alive as Memories Fade

Keeping Love Alive as Memories Fade

6 million individuals in the United States have Alzheimer's Disease, with a new case being diagnosed every 66 seconds. This involves over 15 million caregivers, usually spouses and adult children. How do we as counselors and pastors help the patient and the caregiver? What is to be expected in the early, middle, and late stages of the AD? How does the caregiver guard their own physical and emotional health?

Meeting the emotional need for love can sometimes feel impossible, but research indicates that as the cognitive abilities fade, the patient can still experience emotional love. We have discovered that understanding the 5 Love Languages and how they relate to the Alzheimer's patient motivates and empowers the caregiver.
