CHARACTER FOCUS - RESILIENCE
- “You've got this."
You know that they have the skills and means necessary and your vote of confidence will give them that extra boost they need to succeed.
- “You can do hard things."
When the going gets tough the obstacles can seem insurmountable. So this direct phrase will tell them exactly what they need to hear—acknowledgment that this is hard work and that they are capable.
- “Let's try it together."
Sometimes we all need a helping hand and be sure they know that you will be that hand when they need it.
- “How'd you do that?"
Ask questions. When you see them do something hard, say, "How did you manage that? How can you do it again?"
- “That sounds awesome, can you tell me more?"
Take it one step further than just noticing their effort—ask them to elaborate. Then hear the the pride in their voice when they explain.
