Up Your
Acknowledgment to Grow Your Downline
By Caterina
Rando, MA, MCC
In one of my trainings,
there was a woman Sherry, who was frustrated. She said she was doing a
decent job of managing her business and her life. Her problem she stated
was her husband and her teenage son. She continued, “They don’t listen to
me, they do not seem to notice all that I do for them, and they never help
out.
In business or at home,
it is easy to point the finger at other people and say that they are our
problem. However that is a dead end place to look. We cannot control other
people and we will waste a lot of energy and give ourselves some grief
when we try.
If Sherry wanted things
to be different at home she had to find a way within her control to create
change. Knowing that demanding rarely works, and begging is too demeaning
to use on a regular basis, I suggested Sherry try acknowledging her
husband and her son. That every day she find one thing to acknowledge
about her husband and one thing to acknowledge about her teenage son. She
thought the idea was ridiculous.
I pointed out that
usually she is focused on what is missing “You never help with dinner”,
“you forgot to take out the trash”, “Who’s socks are these on the floor?”
Desperate for more
harmony at home, she decided to try the experiment.
Everyday she looked for
one thing to acknowledge these individuals for. At first she said it was
hard. Soon it became easier, and soon after that she noticed more interest
in helping from her teenage son, more closeness and connection from her
spouse.
After the first week
Sherry committed to continue this daily practice indefinitely. A few weeks
later at dinner her family was laughing and conversing, Sherry was
overcome emotion, her family were enjoying each other and being together
in a way they had not before.
By forcing herself to
focus on what is going well and acknowledging her spouse and son, Sherry
began to increase her awareness of all the large and small things that
were good in her household. She stopped having any interest in nagging and
herself started to communicate with more compassion.
Appreciating the
acknowledgment and noticing the shift to a more compassionate place
Sherry’s spouse and son wanted to be closer to her and give her more
support.
Don’t confuse a
compliment with an acknowledgement. Compliments are usually about
someone’s looks or what they are wearing; “nice tie”, “that blue shirt
brings out your eyes”, or “that is a beautiful dress,” are all
compliments. An acknowledgement focuses on someone’s behavior or
character. “Thank you for getting me that report on time.” “I appreciate
you taking the time to meet with me,” or “It means a lot to me when you,
help me clean up.” These are all acknowledgements.
When acknowledging people
be specific, do simply tell people they did a good job or they are a
valuable member of the team. Tell them why. A few examples of
acknowledgments in a professional setting are: “You always so effective
leading the meetings,” “I really value your opinion,” “great job on that
project, you really used a lot of creative problem solving.”
Every woman
with a business needs support from her family. If you are not getting all
the support you need at home start by acknowledging what is working, then
start to do the same with everyone on your team and pretty soon you will
see that you are more supported at home, your recruits are more active and
your team is growing and growing.

Party Plan Tips
Give each guest three pieces of paper
and ask them to put their name on each piece. Collect all papers
and put them in a bag or bowl. On the floor, place three or four
small prizes. Start calling names from the bowl. When each name
is called the guests have to pick something from the floor. When
the items are gone off the floor, they have to take from each
other. When all the names have been called three times, the
guests left holding a prize wins.

What is the Marcia Miller Collection?
Connecting women, fashion and fun...
We are a community of women helping other women by teaching
them how to run their own successful businesses. We also
donate 10% of our profits to help women get back on their
feet again through various non-profits.
Who is Marcia Miller?
A Woman on a mission….
Marcia Miller is the founder and President of the Marcia
Miller Collection. For over two decades, this dynamic mother
of two has been responsible for developing over 1000
different products, many of them experiencing unprecedented
success. Marcia became renowned throughout Asia and Europe
for creating an internationally-known color palette that
changed the way color was used in the gift industry. Known
as “Marcia’s colors,” the hues on her creative products were
sold in over 5000 gift stores internationally.
Marcia went on and turned a small investment and an idea
into a multi-million dollar jewelry company. It is from this
success that the idea of the Marcia Miller Collection was
born. Marcia searched for a way to make a meaningful
difference in the lives of others and created the Marcia
Miller Collection as the vehicle. She believes in reaching
out to others, offering them a business opportunity that is
simple to do and duplicating that business model over and
over again.
Marcia has a natural instinct for what is fresh and fun.
Her gift and talent for utilizing color has become a
metaphor for what she believes is lacking in the lives of
today’s women. She understands the need to express and
enjoy oneself in an era of multi-faceted lives.
