None of us ever get enough compliments! A compliment can cause you to wear a suit twice as much, feel more confident, or walk with a lighter step.
Look for opportunities to compliment your patients or clients this week. And it can be for more than the pretty necklace they are wearing! Tell them that they are one of your favorite clients and it makes your day to see their name on your schedule. Thank them for always being so prompt for their appointments with you or for their referral last month. Remind them of how many years they have been a patient in the office and how proud you are of their commitment to their health and how grateful you feel for their loyalty.
The same principle applies to our coworkers. If you’re thinking how nice someone looks, tell them. If you love the way they interact with clients, tell them. If their work is exceptionally well done today, tell them. And don’t forget to compliment your dentists (or employers) on everything from how beautiful their dentistry looks to how well they handled a client situation, a clinical challenge, or an issue of integrity.
We think people already know these things… but they don’t. And even if they do, they rarely grow tired of hearing it.
