If you’re reading this, you have cause to celebrate. What we’ve been through since the pandemic is breathtaking. I don’t know of any small business leader who hasn’t experienced widespread and sudden change since 2020.
It’s time to celebrate the wins. Your wins as a business leader and the wins among your employees. A winning team is an energized team. And an energized team performs with higher engagement, productivity, and performance.
At Inspiring HR, we uncomplicate HR and empower small businesses. Here are just a few of our clients’ wins that you’ve likely had, too, which you should celebrate:
BJ Fogg, Ph.D., a scientist at Stanford University, teaches the Fogg Behavioral Model, which he calls “Tiny Habits.” (His book has over 3,800 5-star reviews.)
Fogg’s groundbreaking work on breaking negative habits and creating positive habits requires that we celebrate to make good habits stick. His research shows that we change best when we feel good.
Celebrating the wins also helps us to overcome Negativity Bias. This cognitive bias results in adverse events having a more significant impact on our psychological state than positive events.
I suspect you’ve had your share of challenges and setbacks in the last few years. Because of our brain’s bias for negativity, we remember the bad more acutely than the good.
You may have experienced setbacks but also demonstrated resilience, strength, and overcoming challenge. You may have learned valuable lessons. That’s cause for celebration!

You might be facing uphill battles right now. There may be any number of challenges weighing on you. It’s understandable to be focused on what’s not working, so you can plan and execute strategically and effectively.
But don’t neglect the power of celebrating the wins. A winning team is an energized team. And that positive energy can be vital in helping your business win in the future.
