Why do most people wish a whole lifetime to feel appreciated by and connected to people in their lives; but never find out how to trust, respect and communicate on a consistently positive level with co-workers, employees, friends, parents, children and their spouses?
With this material on the Languages of Acknowledgment, you can learn the Secrets to becoming really and truly connected with almost all the people in your Social Networks at work, in the community and most importantly and difficult of all – at home. What do we know about creating healthy, positive and effective Social Networks at work, in the community and at home that other Generational Consultants and Millennial Experts don’t? The secrets of the Universe are revealed in math, music and physics.
Scott Degraffenreid’s work with Fortune 500 companies using the science of Social Network Analysis has revealed the power of Acknowledgment. His explanation of proven strategies that create measurable results in employee retention and customer satisfaction transform the connections between people.
The five languages of Acknowledgment (The T.R.A.I.L. Model) are transformation agents in businesses, organizations and families.
Are you willing to continue not connecting?
Forming and maintaining healthy, positive relationships is difficult for many people. Not knowing how to clearly and effectively connect with trust, respect and the other languages of Acknowledgment allows unnecessary barriers to be in place, prevents the levels of connectedness needed to prevent attrition in business employment and emotional attrition in families and relationships. Not only will you learn how to express and demonstrate Acknowledgment, the dynamics set in motion catalyze others to trust, respect, appreciate, show interest and listen. Many people report dramatic improvement in their work environment and also experience “side effects” in their marriage and family relationships. How many employees do you need to have to experience the value? If you learn to even partially create an Acknowledgment based dynamic in your direct Social Network or even as an individual working on family issues, you will experience high value from this material.
“You don’t want to do this math…”
This material is unique because it was created using the science of Social Network Analysis and Root Cause Analysis. Billions of data points and the measurement of actual behavior within the employees, managers, executives of companies were used to find out exactly who was creating value, who was staying and productive, what the most effective people were doing to create the positive results? A model of the Languages of Acknowledgment was revealed combining the strategies the best and most effective network members used to build and repair connections, accelerate cooperation and make the company a positive place to work. These calculations don’t lie or exaggerate or avoid the true nature of dynamics within network members who are staying and those that are leaving. Social Network Analysis uses computer models that are highly accurate, complex and usually reserved for the military, the CDC, governments and very large corporations, who have solved complex problems and tracked specific individuals and activities with a more negative intent. Powerful, proven and measurably effective information like this is something that other consultants and organizational experts don’t use to create their latest theories. They just don’t have access to the amounts of data necessary or the expertise to find the underlying patterns and influence factors within the data.
How will this benefit you?
Acknowledgment creates and rebuilds connections between people faster and more effectively than any other method. What does it really mean to trust someone? Authentic Trust is a powerful change agent, but very few people know how to start the trust process and what to do when it gets broken. The Languages of Acknowledgment Model was created to retain employees and to build more collaborative and productive corporate cultures. When properly implemented, you keep you best employees, it is easy to recruit new employees and everyone in the organization is motivated and wants to help one another – drastic productivity increases are often a side effect of reducing turnover.
Warning! There are “Side Effects”!
