Young Professionals meet at Lorelie Books this evening

VICKSBURG, Miss. – Vicksburg Young Professionals meet at Lorelie Books this evening, June 26, at 5:30 p.m. to continue the discussion of their 2024 YP Leadership Book, “5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace.”

This month’s discussion will center around the language of Tangible Gifts led by Chris Rials of the Vicksburg Chamber of Commerce.

From the website Appreciation at Work, Tangible Gifts appreciation language exemplifies the truth behind the saying “it is the thought that counts.” Individuals who feel valued by receiving a gift appreciate the effort you put into considering their preferences. Those unfamiliar with the essence of gift-giving often miss this mark. Failing to grasp that the act itself is more than just receiving an item. The key to successful gift giving is to get to know the person.

Previous discussions have explored words of affirmation, quality time, and acts of service.

The Vicksburg Young Professional Group caters to leaders aged 20-40 in the Vicksburg-Warren County area, fostering their skills and enthusiasm. Members are encouraged to take active roles in advancing Vicksburg as a progressive community.

Admission is free for members and $15 for nonmembers. You can register for the workshop here. Find out more on the Vicksburg-Warren Partnership website.
