Build ’em Up – Weekly Stand #10

Giving a compliment is an easy way to let someone know that you’ve noticed their hard work, and genuine compliments always feel great. Give someone a genuine, thoughtful compliment each day this week to show that you value their contributions. If someone gives a presentation or makes an insightful comment in class, you can say something like, “Hey, I totally agree with what you said, great point!” or “You killed that presentation!” or “Hey, really good job with ___.” Just paying attention to someone can be really powerful. BONUS: It can be even more powerful if you give a compliment in front of others, so they can recognize the person’s positive qualities, too. If you have an opportunity to build someone up in a group, do it!
