A generous word from a stranger is nice.
A generous word from an authority figure is better; ever notice how they have a way of really sticking?
When we’re young it’s a parent, a teacher or principal.
It holds the same weight as something coming from anyone in a lab coat.
Here’s two generous comments that completely stuck with me:
“You’re on the cusp of something!”
“It’s not a matter of whether or not you’ll succeed, but if you’re ready for it”
We have so much power with what we say (seemingly in passing) to those we lead. Have a couple at the ready and be free in how you share them.
You never know what’ll stick for life.
(AKA, you’re a bit of a wizard aren’t you!)
