"What are the key elements for a fabulous, well-delivered compliment? You are sincere and genuine. Give it freely without expecting anything in return. Your compliment is a selfless gift, not a boomerang. Are specific and detailed. Elaborate on why you like something. Describe how their positive virtue has positively impacted you. Can use adjectives for more colorful descriptions. Keep it positive. Say it like you mean it with intentional impact. Use discretion and good judgment. Leave no room for misinterpretation or misunderstanding. Say the right thing at the right moment and let it flow organically. Finding sincere ways to compliment others is a powerful way to make a great first and last impression."
