Example

Expressing appreciation didn’t come naturally—I worried compliments would sound insincere. But after noticing how encouraged I felt receiving genuine praise, I decided to regularly recognize others’ efforts aloud. Starting small, genuinely complimenting coworkers for specific tasks well-done, the practice soon felt less awkward. Relationships improved noticeably, interactions became warmer, and positivity within my workplace grew subtly but steadily. Even my mood lifted each time I offered sincere recognition, making it clear compliments uplift both giver and receiver alike.
