202: How We Celebrate Workiversaries: Moments Not to be Missed

workiversaries May 29, 2025

Celebrating milestones might seem small, but the impact is anything but. In this episode, I’m sharing a peek behind the scenes at how we intentionally honor and uplift our team through something we call “workiversaries”—the anniversaries of when each person joined Team Bonnie Christine. These moments of recognition go far beyond just marking a date. They are powerful opportunities to pause, reflect, and celebrate the people who help bring our work to life.

Even if you don’t have a team, I encourage you to celebrate the people who support you. Whether it’s a contractor, a friend, or a neighbor, those little moments of acknowledgment matter. And if you’re still running things on your own, like I did for over a decade, celebrating your own milestones can be just as powerful.

We close with three reflection questions to help you build meaningful team traditions, spark connection, and create a culture rooted in appreciation. I’ve also created a special free download—a gift ideas list you can use for birthdays, team milestones, or just-because moments.

No matter your budget or business size, simple celebrations can go a long way. It’s about showing people they matter and making sure they know their presence is appreciated.

Never in my life has five dollars felt like more of a bigger deal.

Key Takeaways

  • Small, thoughtful gestures of recognition can leave a lasting impression.
  • Celebrating work anniversaries boosts motivation, connection, and team morale.
  • Fun traditions like calendar reminders, Slack poems, and heartfelt messages build a strong team culture.
  • Solo entrepreneurs can stay motivated by rewarding themselves for milestones.
  • Creating regular traditions helps shift the focus back to people, not just tasks.
