New full length video out today:

This video is an excerpt from my upcoming course Building Rapport: Going beyond small talk with advanced communication skills. If you like the video, check out the link in the comments to view the course. Let's talk about mastering the art of compliments, the power of positive feedback when it comes to building rapport and deep connections with people.

We'll look at why positive feedback is only received well if the person trusts you can give negative feedback as well. We'll talk about what you should compliment people on, and why giving people judgmental compliments on things they can't really control or are just lucky to have aren't as powerful as other alternatives like complimenting them on the difficulty of the process or their integrity.

And we'll talk about how to see the good in people with an optimistic but still honest view so you find it easy to give people genuine compliments that are NOT designed to manipulate them into liking you, but instead come from an authentic place of giving and connection.
