Practice observing for Kudo Moments

Morning

Start the day by monitoring your emotional state and being aware of your schedule.  

  • Self-Check: Take a few minutes to identify how you are feeling and what your top priorities are for the day and whether they involve someone else.  "What is my 'why' today?"

  • Active Observation: Before your first social interaction that may involve your goals, remind yourself to use empathy and active listening.

Mid-Day

You are engaging with the world, use feedback loops and a daily goal to accomplish.

  • Actions: Don’t just plan in the abstract, complete a goal. Focus on quality and whether anyone helped you complete your daily goal.

  • The Feedback Loop (Openness): When someone offers you a suggestion or a critique, practice being an active listener. You may disagree with them. If you have the habit of saying no first, let your colleagues know that a no from you is an initial answer and may be revised with information.

Evening

Wrap up the day by connecting with others.  Do you have Kudos you can share.

  • Express Gratitude: Send a quick text or email to a friend or colleague acknowledging something specific they did well.

  • Daily Review: Reflect on your day and write down Kudos or positive relationship events of the day.
