WELL RUN: A Podcast for Fitness Owners Who Care About People AND Profit.

How Strong Leaders Appreciate Their Teams During the Holidays

Annie Adragna Episode 12

The holidays have a way of revealing everything your team already feels. When leaders get intentional about appreciation during this season performance rises stress levels stabilize and the member experience gets stronger.

In this short episode I break down five ways to appreciate your team that go beyond the usual card and cookie tray. These approaches work because they speak to different appreciation styles on your team and they take less time than you think.

You will hear
 • How to give recognition that actually lands
 • Why removing a burden can be more impactful than giving a gift
 • The difference between thoughtful gifting and performative gifting
 • How presence changes the emotional climate of your club
 • The role of future focused appreciation in retention

If gifting stresses you out or you end up buying the same thing every year I created a gift guide to make this simple. It is curated for leaders in fitness wellness and hospitality who want to give something elevated without wasting hours searching.
