It’s best to have coins on the ready.<\/strong> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In a recent episode of NCIS (S16E22 – photo at top) Secretary of Defense Skinner awards Vance with a challenge coin in appreciation for NCIS saving him once again. Emotional affections like appreciation and gratitude – the recognition of a job well done to a single person or a team – this is what the challenge coin is all about. (full episode recap here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A plaque and paper are perfect on certain occasions, but a coin – THE coin – is often a better way to make a lasting gesture that honors the long-standing impact of a person’s service. Challenge Coins are cool, collectible and highly cherished [that’s a lot of C’s] for a lifetime and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have a coin? Are you ready in your role as a leader to acknowledge team members for a job well done? The best coin givers know that timing is often something that is most important. Medallic items typically take 4-5 weeks to deliver. This is risky!<\/strong> It’s good to have a design on the ready. It’s best to have coins on the ready<\/strong>. There’s no cost for designs. Good news is you’ll be ready to place your order when the time is approaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
