According to Robert Cialdini's Reciprocity Principle, we naturally want to return the favour or share a kind word when someone does something nice for us. Compliments create a positive feedback loop—when we recognize others, they are more likely to acknowledge our strengths. This builds a culture of trust, appreciation, and motivation.  To be clear, we're not talking about "faking it". Meaningful reciprocity is built on what is authentic, genuine and values-aligned. Making Praise a Daily Practice Recognition shouldn't be reserved for only special occasions. The more we integrate acknowledgment into daily interactions, the more we cultivate confidence in ourselves and others. We believe that all gain when we embrace complimenting as part of our daily communication, positively impacting how we lead people with kindness, nurture friendships, and support healthy family dynamics.
