Last week we examined the importance of a recognition program, this week how to create one.

This is Coaching for Leaders, episode number 80.

Produced by Innovate Learning, Maximizing Human Potential.

Greetings to you from Orange County, California.

This is coaching for leaders, and I'm your host Dave Stahoviac.

This is a weekly show to help smart people improve their communication and leadership skills.

And to be an effective leader we need to be able to recognize others sincerely, genuinely, and consistently.

Last week on episode 79 I had Michelle Smith with me from O.C. Tanner and we promised this

week we'd be back to not just talk about the importance of recognition and

why we should have a recognition program, but actually how to do it.

So on today's show, 10 steps to create a recognition program.

And I'm pleased again to be joined by Michelle Smith from O.C. Tanner.

Here's my interview with her on the 10 steps we need to know to start recognizing.

I am so glad to welcome back Michelle Smith from O.C. Tanner.

Michelle's the Vice President for Business Development at O.C. Tanner, she joined us last week for episode

number 79 when we talked about the importance of recognition and I promised we'd have her back

this week to actually talk about the how to do it.

I'm pleased to be back. Thank you so much, Dave.

And this is now, okay, let's put the, let's put the kind of the rubber on the road here of how do we do this so we talked last week about all of the why we'd want to do this the statistics if you haven't listened to that conversation, please go back.
