<h3><strong>#63 Celebrate High Five Moments</strong></h3>
<p>In <a title="Amazon Page for Fired Up or Burned Out" href="http://www.amazon.com/Fired-Burned-Out-Creativity-Productivity/dp/1595552812/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1418590470&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=fired+up+or+burned+out" target="_blank"><em>Fired Up or Burned Out</em></a>, we wrote about Cranium, the games company, and how it is intentional about designing games so that people will experience “high five moments.” One form of physical touch that can be appropriate in the workplace (depending upon the context) is to give someone a “hive five” or “fist bump” when they perform well. These are acceptable ways to give recognition in more informal cultures. Research has found sports teams that express recognition in more physical forms perform better.</p>
<p><em>This is the sixty-third post in our series entitled “100 Ways to Connect.” The series highlights language, attitudes and behaviors that help you connect with others. Although the language, attitudes and behaviors focus on application in the workplace, you will see that they also apply to your relationships at home and in the community.</em></p>
