How we can cultivate intentional compliments | Jake Carnes | TEDxUGA

can you translate

I disagree. Try using this "Measured compliment" method when you get married. You will see.

I'm trying to get better at complimenting...this is great! Err...*tries to be specific*...I loved the real world examples and conversational tone!

I’m inschool

Is he really tall or just skinny?

There is true power in complementing intentionally, some of us don’t do it because we believe the other person doesn’t “deserve” it at times, but what we fail to realize is that we give in to the negative energy and something so simple as a compliment or acknowledgement of something someone values/ speaks about, can switch the tone of the conversation, and change the nature of the environment we experience.

This is literally the best TED talk I've ever heard in my life it is absolutely perfect.

Every once in a while this guy gives off strong Vsauce vibes, like every couple sentences there’s a little flash of Vsauce lol

One CAN however refuse an unwarranted and untrue compliment, even if it was given with appreciation, sincerity, thanks, or kindness. In such a case, in the spirit of honesty, humility, love, and kindness - one can gently and kindly correct them. That is not due to low-self-esteem. If
they learn their error, that will be the betterment of both. If they don't, then its unfortunately on them. Confidence is overrated, but
honesty and humility to accept constructive correction is infinitely better.

Often times 🙄

Love it!

This talk is superb!

Great presentation 👏 👌

I really appreciate this person talk and speech

Over the past year I have found myself with more and more friendships then I ever had before, these relationships are not as I thought because many people thought I was mean to begin with. I am going to put some of that on being autistic, I didn’t realize how I was being perceived. But now, I want to change and say what I am thinking. I want to vocalize how my friends that know me and keep me going make me feel. I just need to tell the truth with intention. Thanks for the Ted talk, I will use this information in my daily life.

one of the most informative Ted talk i've seen I am sure to implement this in my life

I'm glad how you explain something that isn't really talked about. Unlike many people who just compliment to get something out of someone, you really emphasize on how to spread positivity and genuinely reinforce good behaviours/traits of wonderful people. Thank you for the inspiring tedtalk.

I often look at my boyfriend and I'm so happy that I often vocalize how beautiful I think he is. It's never a lie, always honest and always only when the thought comes to mind, but I probably overcomplimented him, because he said I should tone it down a bit

Going to use it with my students.

I like my life it is have fun with my friends also lots of people are thank you for sharing information to me.
Icon only imagine my dream.

one thing that recently happened that my manager told me as an employee ive had alot of people that said im so diligent your so fast your a good employee but this time my manager told i was a very CONSISTENT worker not that i was the best but because when i came in she expects the same efficiency and effectiveness as the day before and after that some good employees lose after working at a place for a while and that stuck with me for a while now and i try and make sure that everyday is even as good or better then the last day i worked

intentional compliment

honest phase, do on purpose
thoughtful precise compliment
why they is awsome
why they inspire

what compliment stick with you


meaningful internalize

yes, we cultivated compliments, and now it's everywhere, and it's freaking annoying

I wonder if Troy Hawke watched this
