The Untapped Power of Genuine Appreciation | Catherine Ducharme | TEDxAbbotsford

In this inspiring talk, Catherine Ducharme explores why appreciation is one of the most powerful yet overlooked resources in leadership and life. Drawing on research and real-world stories, she shows how genuine appreciation—seeing and valuing people for who they are, not just what they do—boosts engagement, strengthens culture, and fosters belonging. Catherine explains how leaders can shift from recognition and compliments to true appreciation, using her TAPS method: Timely, Authentic, Personal, and Specific. At a time when disconnection is rampant, she makes a compelling case that appreciation is abundant, renewable, and transformative. Catherine, Founder and Principal of Fluency Leadership, is a professional certified coach and facilitator with over 30 years of experience in communications and leadership. Catherine’s mission is to empower leaders to create thriving, appreciative workplaces and become the positive leaders they aspire to be. Through Fluency, she delivers programs, workshops and 1:1 coaching to leaders and their teams. She also loves sharing leadership insights and inspiring action through writing and speaking. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
