Complement people in front of other people

5. Complement people in front of other people.

First, people want to feel worthwhile in life. Second, compliments affirm people and make them feel stronger. Compliments in front of others are the most effective that you can give.

To apply this principle: Forget about only giving compliments in private but start giving them in public as well. Ask who can I spotlight in front of others. Compliment someone in front of others today.
