Of course, we don’t want to make other people feel miserable or unhappy. So, how do we make them feel good and improve their spirit?
Here are 10 ways to make other people feel special:
- Start with smiling – Being positive with others makes them relaxed and opened for collaboration.
- Compliment on their appearance – Noticing their shiny healthy hair or being fit and in good shape will do amazing things for their motivation to continue take good care of them selves.
- Show appreciation – Frequently express how much you enjoy your interactions and how much your collaborations were beneficial to you.
- Support their ambitions – Help them maintain Growth mindset, learn from mistakes and continue dreaming & growing.
- Give them undivided attention – Listen wholeheartedly and show empathy and support.
- Give them public recognition – Post on social media, or give kudos during team meetings or family gatherings. Showing appreciation in public is a great way to display how much you value the other person.
- Share your tips and tricks – Sharing your secret resources make other people feel very special and if they listen to you as a mentor, it is another way to motivate them to reach higher levels of their potential.
- Show vulnerability – Share mistakes and silly thing you have made in the past, and how you recovered and learned from them. This will encourage them to share and be vulnerable as well and realize they are not alone in how they are feeling.
- Take part in their project – Offer support and help with a big project they are working on before they start feeling overwhelmed.
- Offer to do something special – just the two of you: go for a walk, coffee or spend time outside of the daily routine schedule and focus on other things that matter outside of work or study.
When we help to make people feel special, we make better connections, foster kindness, motivate and inspire growth. Who did You Help today?
