Presented by: Kate Vendemio, Founder & CEO, Mt. Vernon Consulting

Imagine a workplace where motivation runs high, collaboration flows naturally, and change feels less like a disruption and more like an exciting opportunity. In today’s dynamic workplaces, positive feedback is the key to creating such an environment. Research shows that employees who regularly receive positive feedback are 92% more likely to repeat praised actions, making it one of the most impactful—and often underused—tools for managers and leaders at all levels. For leaders facing challenges like change management, team collaboration, and trust-building, positive feedback offers a powerful yet accessible solution.

This session will break down the essential components of positive feedback, demonstrating its link to employee engagement and motivation. We’ll explore how consistent, meaningful feedback moves beyond annual reviews to create a workplace where team members feel empowered and appreciated every day. Leaders will gain insights into identifying key moments for positive feedback, from major achievements to daily contributions, fostering an environment where everyone is motivated to contribute at their highest level.
