Accept That Compliment


Listen Later

Wow, your hair looks fantastic today!
Your business is really taking off!
I love your shoes!
Your work is beautiful!

If I said this to you, face-to-face, how would you react?

If you're like most women, you will probably deflect, laugh it off, or flat out argue with me (and studies show that if you're a man, or are already pretty confident, you probably won’t.)

This week's #BizConfidenceChallenge is simple, but SO HARD for many of us: Accept all compliments.

It's not as easy as it sounds, but it's sooooo important for personal AND professional reasons!

In this episode, we'll discuss:
  • How to accept a compliment
  • How NOT accepting a compliment undermines your reputation
  • How accepting compliments builds your confidence

Resources Mentioned:

  • Complimentary language + gender
  • Amy Schumer on Women + Compliments (Warning: Uncensored)
  • Reframing Compliments
  • How to Graciously Accept Compliments
  • Do you need to spend more time spotting and celebrating your successes? We do this every week inside the Starship. It only opens once a quarter, but you can learn more (and sign up to be notified when it opens next) right here: http://taraswiger.com/starshipbiz
