Age should never be a barrier to expressing gratitude or admiration. People of all ages and stages of life appreciate recognition and a heartfelt compliment can significantly boost any persons morale.
Complimenting someone older who has inspired us maybe at the gym with a fitness goal, or a stylish soul you meet at an event is not just a courteous gesture; it’s a meaningful way to acknowledge their impact on us.
Older individuals often possess a wealth of experience and wisdom, potentially making their contribution to our personal journey even more invaluable.
By openly expressing appreciation, we honour their journey and validate their efforts. Compliments can create a positive ripple effect across an organisation. When we recognise someone’s influence, it encourages them to continue sharing their precious and often hard earned wisdom, experience and insights with others.
This can then create a culture where mentorship thrives, benefiting not just the two individuals but also the wider environment.
Overcoming bashfulness in complimenting others is a sure way to reinforce our own confidence as well. It helps practice both vulnerability and openness. Embracing this orientation allows us to fertilise a currency of encouragement, support and admiration. In doing so we get to enrich us individually and collectively.
Just last week I enjoyed reconnecting with one of my original mentors and the conversation was nothing short of inspiring. It was one of those conversations that felt like we had only spoken a few days before, instead of a few years. The magic lied for us both in the reality that I could now mentor my original teacher with some technology tools for a project close to their heart. It was a precious moment of reciprocal kindness and generosity of spirit.
So, my challenge to you now is to see who you can compliment today …
