What is a Compliment?
Compliments are a form of social interaction that can significantly impact our emotional well-being. Receiving a genuine compliment can make us feel appreciated, valued, and more confident in ourselves. Likewise, giving a compliment can create positive feelings and strengthen relationships with others. That’s precisely what the creator of the Compliment Squad, Celine McGee, is doing.
What is the Compliment Squad?
Celine McGee is the team captain of the Compliment Squad, whose mission is to spread smiles, kindness, and human connection one compliment at a time. Born in Philly, you can find Celine around areas like Rittenhouse Square delivering compliments to the people around her. Celine says this idea first came about after her father passed. While hosting a yard sale, she also gave out compliments to anyone who stopped by. After realizing how simple it is to make someone’s day, Celine started making her compliment cards and handing them out in Philly. Her compliments go deeper than a positive comment on what a stranger is wearing. She does not hesitate to compliment someone on their character or a couple in love with one another.
How Do I Compliment Someone?
The Compliment Squad says a good compliment is specific, sincere, and relevant to the situation. For example, instead of saying “You look nice today,” a more effective compliment would be “Your outfit is really flattering, and it brings out the color of your eyes.” By being specific, the compliment shows that the person has paid attention to the details and has taken the time to express their appreciation in a thoughtful way. When it comes to close family and friends, Celine encourages others to go deeper with their compliments. Thank them for listening, for supporting, or for making you feel loved.
