I couldnt stop watching the video of Cherie DeVaux, the first female trainer to win at the Kentucky Derby.
Shes jumping. Beaming. Completely overcome with joy.
And it struck mewhen was the last time we had celebrations in a professional setting?
We celebrate birthdays. Holidays. Milestones outside the office.
But inside our organizations? When a firm lands a new client Wins a major case Delivers an extraordinary result
We move on to the next thing.
That momentwhat she showed uswasnt just about winning. It was about acknowledging the work, the setbacks, the years of effort that led to it.
What if we brought even a fraction of that energy into our workplaces and celebrated more wins?
A pause to say: this mattered.
And maybejust maybeit makes the work a little more meaningful along the way.
Do you celebrate wins in your organization? If so, what does that look like?
