Question: How to respond to compliments of the new season?
As the new season approaches, you may find yourself receiving compliments from your clients, colleagues, or friends on your work, achievements, or appearance. How do you handle these compliments gracefully and professionally? Here are some tips to help you:
- Say thank you. The simplest and most polite way to respond to a compliment is to express your gratitude and appreciation. For example, "Thank you, that's very kind of you to say." or "Thank you, I'm glad you liked it."
- Be humble. Avoid bragging or boasting about yourself or your accomplishments. Instead, acknowledge the role of others who helped you or share the credit with your team. For example, "Thank you, I couldn't have done it without my amazing colleagues." or "Thank you, it was a team effort."
- Give a compliment back. If appropriate, you can return the favor and compliment the person who complimented you. This can help build rapport and show your interest in them. For example, "Thank you, I love your style too." or "Thank you, you're always so supportive and encouraging."
- Keep it brief. Don't overthink or overanalyze the compliment. Just accept it graciously and move on to the next topic. Don't dwell on it or make it awkward for yourself or the other person. For example, "Thank you, that means a lot to me." or "Thank you, I appreciate your feedback."
- Be sincere. Don't pretend to be modest or fake your reaction. Be honest and genuine in your response. If you feel uncomfortable or embarrassed by the compliment, don't lie or make up excuses. Just smile and say thank you sincerely. For example, "Thank you, I'm really flattered by your words." or "Thank you, that's very sweet of you to say."
