Week #194 – File a…COMPLIMENT!
Greetings Happyness Tribe!
I was recently on the receiving end of a formal compliment…and I have to tell you, it was really nice (and really refreshing)!
In some industries complaints are just the default setting. Customers often feel encouraged to grouse in order to “get something for free” — or entitled to something extra when things don’t perfectly go their way — or they just want to complain to complain. We’ve all been on one end or the other.
But how often do we take time to write a thank you note, pay a compliment, or publicly praise someone for doing the right thing?
Social media has made it easier than ever to complain about bad service or call out individuals/companies that let us down.
The things is…it’s just as easy nowadays to say something positive! 🙂
Your Happyness Challenge for the Week Ahead: File a…COMPLIMENT! Has someone delivered for you? Did they come through in a pinch, perform with flying colors, or go above and beyond to make sure you had a good experience? If so, follow up…and file a COMPLIMENT!
(And businesses/employers…if you receive compliments, be sure to share them with your staff just a readily as you would a complaint. It doesn’t hurt to reward your top performers, either!)
