Emotional Confetti: Supporting Others Through the Power of Appreciation

Some people talk about appreciation. Diana Rogers Jaeger throws Emotional Confetti.

Emotional Confetti is the burst of joy people feel when they are genuinely appreciated. And we all need more of it! Confetti doesn’t stay in one place — it spreads and touches everyone around it. Appreciation works the same way. When you take the time to communicate appreciation to someone, positive energy starts flying in every direction. You can quickly lift moods, strengthen working relationships, and turn a moment into a memory. Burnout is replaced by connection and meaning.

The best part? A little appreciation goes a long way.

In this uplifting, interactive, and confetti-filled opening keynote, Diana Rogers Jaeger, certified appreciation expert, will show you specific ways to shower people with Emotional Confetti.

You’ll learn the 5 Languages of Appreciation so you can:

• Build Stronger Relationships: Communicate appreciation in ways that strengthen your connections while elevating your professional reputation and influence.
• Fuel Team Excellence: Understand how to use the 5 Languages of Appreciation to spotlight the strengths people bring to the team.
• Spark a Culture Change: Lead by example and transform your workplace into a fun, positive environment that brings out the best in others.

So, don't miss out. Space is limited. Reserve your spot today and join us at " Emotional Confetti: Supporting Others Through the Power of Appreciation"!
