Day Twenty-four’s Challenge:
Give three heart-felt compliments.

Who doesn’t love to receive a compliment? So today your challenge is to give three heart-felt compliments. Added challenge – compliment someone who you normally wouldn’t.

Is there a person in your office who is, shall we say – a bit on the annoying side? Compliment him or her on something he/she does well.

Is there someone who always seems to be doing their tasks incorrectly? Compliment him on whatever aspect he does correctly and leave it at that. Don’t start in on the “but this is not done right…”

Is there someone whom you admire but have never had the nerve to really talk to? Why not give her a heart-felt compliment as well? Just because someone appears successful and put-together, doesn’t mean they feel that way inside.

Remember, you are not fishing for a compliment for yourself. Avoid the more superficial compliments: your hair is lovely today or that color is nice on you. Strive to find a compliment that is about that person’s contribution to work/community.

And a good way to present your compliment is:

“I’ve always admired that you….”
“I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for…”
“…has not gone unnoticed.”
