UAI Excellence Awards – Are you Celebrating the Talent on your Team?

  • UAI Excellence Awards – Are you Celebrating the Talent on your Team?

    Hello UAI Members,

    Are you celebrating the talent on your team and/or your entire team?

    A violinist played for 45 minutes in a New York subway. A handful of people stopped, a couple clapped, and the violinist managed to raise about $30 in tips. 💵

    No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world. In that subway, Joshua played one of the most intricate pieces ever written with a violin worth 3.5 million dollars. 🎻

    Two days before he played in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theater in Boston and the seats averaged about $1000.

    The experiment proved that the extraordinary in an ordinary environment does not shine and is so often overlooked and undervalued. 👀

    There are brilliantly talented people everywhere who aren’t receiving the recognition and reward they deserve. But once they arm themselves with value and confidence and remove themselves from an environment that isn’t serving them, they thrive and grow.

    Are you celebrating, recognizing, and rewarding the wicked smart, innovative people on your team?

    RUN, don’t walk, to nominated them for a UAI 2022 Excellence Award today! Nominate at https://lnkd.in/eBebzqk. The deadline to submit a UAI Excellence Award nomination is June 30, 2022. 🏃‍♂️🏃🏃‍♀️

    Kevin,

     

    What you wrote is very moving and so true. I don’t have anyone in mind at this moment to recognize, but I am surrounded by wicked smart, innovative people and I do my best to acknowledge them on a regular basis. Thank you for helping me look at peoples accomplishments in a different light.

     

    Thank you,
