The power of appreciation is most effective and comes handy where most others forms fall short. Showering one with an encomium is a skill that need not be innate but can also be learned. It is also a time- tested method that can be employed to mirror a person's skill and talent.
Provide encouragement to people with your praises, here is how you can start doing that:
- The praise should always be authentic. Which implies that you need not shower a person with all sorts of praises, something he may not be entitled to also. Praise only when required, the praise too should be genuine.
- The praise should be specific when addressing a person. Recognize the talent and skills possessed by the person and praise him accordingly, highlighting his qualities.
- The praise should come immediately when the person has achieved or fulfilled something. Praise at that moment only comes forth as an encouragement.
- The praise should be in private when one wishes to offer support to the person concerned whereas in public it means that their performance has been recognized and further encouraged.
- Make sure your praise is not aimed at tainting one's image or personality. Tainted praise often hurt one's self- esteem and morale.
