Recognition that Resonates: Why One-Size-Fits-All Praise Doesn’t Work (and What to Do Instead)

What You'll Learn

Effective communication is the foundation of a thriving workplace, yet personality differences often create roadblocks to collaboration. Understanding how individuals communicate, lead, and respond to challenges can transform workplace dynamics and drive productivity. Enter the Birds Model—based on the traditional DISC Model, the Birds are a fun and insightful way to decode communication preferences, strengthen relationships, and build high-performing teams.

Join Awardco and industry experts as we explore the four Bird types—Eagle, Parrot, Dove, and Owl—and how they influence workplace interactions. Whether you're leading a team, managing cross-functional projects, or looking to improve workplace culture, this session will provide actionable strategies to leverage personality insights for stronger engagement and collaboration.

Key Takeaways:

  • Decode Communication Styles – Learn how the four Bird types impact workplace interactions and leadership approaches.
  • Enhance Team Collaboration – Discover how recognizing and adapting to different communication styles fosters trust, efficiency, and engagement
  • Improve Recognition Strategies – Understand how tailored recognition approaches can resonate with different personality types for maximum impact.
  • Drive Organizational Success – Gain tools to build a culture where every employee feels seen, valued, and empowered to contribute their best work.
