We will discuss “ The Missing Pieces”, the Week 3–6 dip, System Skills (aka: CABLES) and the Science of Recognition: Celebration isn't just about morale—it's neurological fuel. Authentic recognition releases dopamine, strengthening motivation and memory. Conversely, when expected recognition is absent, the brain activates pain centers, leading to disengagement.
In this episode, host Wendy Sellers is joined by leadership expert Patrick Veroneau, MS to explore the critical components of building, not just hoping for—a high-performing team. They dive into “The Missing Pieces” that often go overlooked, the common Week 3–6 dip in team engagement, and the essential System Skills framework known as CABLES. Patrick also explains the Science of Recognition, highlighting how authentic celebration impacts the brain by releasing dopamine to enhance motivation and memory. Wendy and Patrick unpack how the absence of expected recognition can actually trigger the brain's pain centers, causing disengagement. This is a must-listen for leaders ready to move from wishful thinking to intentional team-building strategies.
