January 20th - Lead With Something Nice

Remember what grandma used to say? "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything"

Well, grandma was wrong. Sometimes it is appropriate to speak up and say what is on your mind.... but that does not mean it cannot have a nice part.

Try hard to avoid being the person who is instantly critical of everything.

We all know a people who are always pointing out the problems with other people and their points of view. We usually dislike those people.

This does not mean you should hide your opinions, just remember that you can usually find something positive to say about most situations, too. Lead with what you can compliment, then add your not-so-positive comments.
