- Focus on the person's specialness. Find ways to support and honor their gifts such as generosity, loyalty, friendship, and creativity,
- Accept others as they are. It is a powerful motivator when we show others that we accept them as they are.
- Be a good listener. Give your full attention to the person. Draw them out and let them help set the agenda for your conversations.
