International Day for Achievers

Get ready to enjoy a delightful day of reflecting and recognizing the accomplishments of others – or of yourself – because it is time for the International Day for Achievers!

History of International Day for Achievers

International Day for Achievers was founded to celebrate and show appreciation for all of those folks who excel in their personal or professional lives. From politicians and musicians to business owners and stay-at-home parents, the idea behind this day is to honor the ones who are doing well along the way.

The organizers of the event are especially passionate about paying attention to those folks who have made smaller achievements but are never given credit or accolades.

The behind-the-scenes people who make a big difference in the world deserve some recognition – and International Day for Achievers is just the day to do it!

How to Celebrate International Day for Achievers

The options for celebrating International Day for Achievers are almost endless! Consider some of these plans and ideas to get started with:

Recognize Outstanding Students and Employees

Teachers, managers, volunteer coordinators, and other leaders can make a big deal out of International Day for Achievers by acknowledging and recognizing the contributions and achievements of the shining stars in their midst.

Host a recognition awards ceremony, give out certificates of achievement, and provide winners with extra perks like time off, gift cards to restaurants or coffee shops, or a trophy that comes with bragging rights.

Set and Work Toward Goals

The basic thing that is required for being an achiever is knowing what your goals are – and then accomplishing them.

Even if the rest of the world doesn’t notice, be sure to give yourself some personal recognition in celebration of the International Day for Achievers.

Take some time to take stock of the measurable goals you’ve had over the past year and reflect on what ways you’ve achieved some of them.

Then, take a look forward into the future, planning for what goals you might like to achieve in the next week, month, or year, and then setting out to make it happen through hard work and determination!

Acknowledge a Quiet Achiever

Take some time on International Day for Achievers to notice and recognize someone in life, whether at home, at work, or in the local community, who deserves to have their achievements noticed.

Write that unsung hero a note, take them out for a cup of coffee, or present them with an award certificate that can be easily printed out at home. It’s a fun way to give a little encouragement to someone who perhaps doesn’t often get the attention they deserve.

A few of the other Days of the Year events that are celebrated along the same theme as International Day for Achievers include Grandmother Achievement Day in February, Slay a Dragon Day in April, and Public Servant Recognition Day in May.
