Mike Domitrz argues that generic compliments miss the mark. Instead, ask what matters to someone, especially kids, so your praise actually lands and strengthens the relationship.

Speaking is my soul. I do this because I love it. Somebody said I'm dynamic. One thing you will agree with, you might disagree with everything I say, but the one thing you won't say is that guy lacks energy from the stage. Because this is my heart up here. There's no script. You probably figured that out. I can't be scripted the way I'm talking tonight because I've asked you to interrupt me nonstop and then I answer based on what you're saying. This is my soul up here. So if you had said when I said give me a compliment, imagine if one of you had said, well, Mike, I can't without knowing what matters. How powerful that would have been, right? We can all do that after today. Imagine going to your kids and saying, you know, I know I give you compliments and you roll your eyes like, of course you're saying that, you're my parent. What are the ones that matter to you?
