Everyone’s trying to solve engagement and retention with bigger strategies.
But what if the answer is smaller and more human? AI not necessary.
It’s called Emotional Confetti! 🎉🎉🎉
It’s the tiny, intentional moments of appreciation that create joy, energy and connection.
The problem is that most people have never been taught how to communicate appreciation effectively. Leaders think they’re showing appreciation, but their employees don’t feel it.
That gap? It’s costly, causing burnout and turnover.
In my recent DisruptHR Denver talk (only 5 minutes long!), I break down how to 10X your appreciation in a way that actually lands—so people feel seen, valued, and motivated to stay.
Not fluff. Not forced. Not one-size-fits-all.

DisruptHR events take place all around the country. Founded in 2013, it aims to energize and empower HR professionals and leaders to embrace innovative talent, culture, and technology ideas for the future of work.
If there is one near you, I highly encourage you attend an DisruptHR event because they are filled with great people and nuggets of wisdom you can apply to improve the workplace.
Some of my favorite talks at DisruptHR Denver this year include:
- The $650B Cost of Optimizing Workplace Culture for 28-Year-Old White Guys
- Work the Way You’re Wired: Why Time Management Fails Neurodivergent Women Leaders
- The Leadership You Rely On — And Refuse to Pay
- What If Joy Wasn’t a Feeling — But an Operating System?

When was the last time appreciation felt like 🎉🎉🎉 instead of a checkbox to your employees?
