E318. Build Your Atta Folder: The Habit That Protects Confidence and Sparks Culture Shifts

In this inspiring episode of PivotMe, April revisits one of her most loved concepts: the Atta Folder. If you're new to it—think of it as your personal vault of encouragement. April dives into why it's not just for you, but how regularly building up others can radically transform your team, your relationships, and even your leadership legacy. Key Takeaways: What an Atta Folder Is: A digital or physical space where you store positive feedback, praise, and reminders of your value—for when you need it most. Why It Matters: We all have easy access to what's gone wrong. The Atta Folder is your curated reminder of what’s gone right—fuel for your confidence. From Self to Team: Start by building your own Atta Folder, but don’t stop there. Become the person who fills others’ folders too. Ripple Effect of Recognition: When you consistently affirm those around you, you don't just boost their morale—you build loyalty, trust, and culture. How to Make It a Habit: April gives tactical steps for turning appreciation into a routine—one that boosts productivity, mental health, and connection. Quote from the Episode: “Evidence of what you’ve done wrong is always available—so you better intentionally collect what you’ve done right.” Actionable Items: Create (or update) your personal Atta Folder with screenshots, notes, and feedback. Give specific, sincere compliments to three people today—text, email, sticky note, whatever works. Build the habit: set reminders or create a ritual to affirm people regularly—at work, at home, or even in the pickup line. The Atta Folder isn’t just feel-good fluff—it’s a tool for resilience. And when you make a habit of building others up too, you create workplaces, homes, and communities where people feel seen, valued, and inspired. Start yours today—and go fill someone else’s too. --------- Want to be part of a transformative experience for entrepreneurs and leaders? 🚀 Join us for Collaborate in Grass Valley 2025! 🌟 Don’t miss out on your chance to connect, grow, and unlock your full potential with a community of like-minded go-getters. 👉 www.theaprilgarcia.com/collaborate 👉👉 Connect with me here: Website: https://www.theaprilgarcia.com  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/AprilGarciaPivotMe  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theAprilGarcia/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theaprilgarcia
