## Resource

Recognition is often written off as a "nice to have." In this episode, Michelle Parry-Slater speaks with Sarah McVanel, Canada's recognition expert and founder of Greatness Magnified, and Lisa Anstey, manager of Medical Device Reprocessing at Waterloo Regional Health Network, to make the case that recognition is not soft. Recognition is one of the most powerful learning and behaviour-change tools available. Together they share the story of a deeply disengaged hospital team that became one of the most recognised in the country. The framework, the coaching, the daily huddles, and the sheer persistence behind that shift. If you work in L&D and you have ever wondered how to make learning stick, or how to advocate for what your people really need, this one is for you.
