Show appreciation and encouragement from "summary" of How To Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
Showing appreciation and encouragement is an effective way of building relationships and making an impression on others. Being kind and expressing gratitude can help us create positive connections with people and increase our influence.- A simple way to make someone feel appreciated and encouraged is to thank them specifically for something they did that was helpful. This lets them know that you notice their hard work and value it.
- Give regular compliments for specific accomplishments. People feel most valued when others recognize the efforts they put in and appreciate their success.
- It's important to remember that encouragement goes deeper than mere words. Spend time to understand each individual and connect on a personal level to truly show your support and appreciation.
- When building relationships, strive to bring out the best in others by regularly highlighting their strengths. Making them aware of their qualities could give them the willingness to reach higher goals.
- Ask for opinions and ideas, offering public recognition when appropriate. Listening to and genuinely respect another person's point of view strengthens their feeling of being wanted and respected.
- Celebrate achievements - big or small. By taking the time to commemorate an accomplishment, others will feel seen and appreciated for their work.
- Showcase other’s talents in front of important people or take the time to write helpful reviews or recommendations about them. Displaying appreciation publicly may drive them to take up greater challenges in future.
