LPT: Give compliments on effort, not traits.
I try to praise what someone did, not what they are. Effort based compliments feel real and they encourage repeat behavior.
Example 1:
Instead of saying you are so smart, I say I respect how you prepared for that meeting and stayed calm under pressure.
Example 2:
Instead of saying you are so calm, I say I saw you stay patient when that guy got rude. That took control.
Example 3:
Instead of saying you are so dedicated, I say you showed up even though you were tired. That effort matters.
This lands better, feels less awkward, and builds stronger relationships.
