I’m working on this – whenever I think a positive thought about someone, whether it’s my wife, client, acquaintance or sometimes even a stranger, I tell them. The only guidelines I have are to be sincere, tell them ASAP and, whenever possible, say it face to face. So, I’m now saying things like- “I love that color on you.”-” I appreciate your upbeat attitude.” – I’m grateful for your friendship.”- “That’s a sharp looking car.” – “You’re the right person for this job.” As a consultant, sometimes I have to share a negative thought and I know that the research says that the best relational results require at least a 3 to 1, positive to negative ratio. So, I’m working on it- “I’m grateful for your time reading this post.” Here are two guys that get it.
Think it? Say it!
