There's an underutilized leadership skill that we're highlighting today in our 300th (woot, woot!) episode of the Voice of Influence podcast, and that's the skill of acknowledging significance of what people contribute and achieve. We're not talking about giving pats on the back or gold stars. Instead, we're talking about finding meaning and sharing authentic acknowledgement of why something matters.    Andrea shares about a key leadership lesson she learned from Alice Atemo of Overcoming Faith Schools for orphaned children in western Kenya. On a recent trip to the schools, she noticed the importance of ceremony to helping children see the significance of themselves, their education, and their opportunities. If you want to learn more about the schools and how to support their worthy mission, go to the US based 501c3 website: www.tucklets.org.
