In today’s episode of Small-Time Leaders, Deb Boelkes shares with us the power of acknowledgment. Deb is a self-motivated leader and does not step back when challenges are thrown her way. Such tribute was pointed out to her by her CEO at the time and that acknowledgment pushed her to strive for even higher milestones. It is amazing how much encouragement we can give someone by highlighting their best skills.
