What Does Science Say About Compliments?

Welcome to Season 3, the Last Quarter Challenge. Think of it as a training plan for your confidence with weekly micro-moments that ladder up so you enter 2026 stronger than ever.   This week's micro-moment is Compliment Ripple. It is about turning outward and recognizing the good in others. When you give a genuine compliment, you not only lift someone else up, but also light up the same reward centers in your own brain. A simple compliment can spark connection, boost confidence, and remind both of you that kindness has power.   Try it today. Tell someone what you admire or appreciate about them. Be specific. Notice how their energy shifts and how you feel, too.   Enter Our Giveaway! Comment on Lisa's LinkedIn post from this week on how you practiced this challenge, and you'll be entered to win a special Gravitas prize.
