When was the last time you received a compliment without brushing it off? How about GAVE a compliment that you really, really meant...without prefacing it with "I hope this isn't weird, but..." ??
In this episode of the WANTcast, we're talking about something that seems simple on the surface but can have a huge impact on your self-talk, relationships, and confidence: COMPLIMENTS.
Whether you're great at giving them, awkward at receiving them, or somewhere in between, this episode breaks down WHY compliments actually matter a lot — and how to make compliments feel natural and meaningful (instead of weird or forced).
IN THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS:
- Why we struggle with compliments in the first place
- The importance of compliments when it comes to shifting your negative self-talk + creating a more just, kind, and equitable world
- The anatomy of a great compliment: the three categories, and the Three "S" Equation
- How to take a compliment: EXACTLY what to say without deflecting or minimizing
- and more!
