This document discusses the importance of providing positive feedback and encouragement. It notes that praise can profoundly impact someone's life and development. Effective responses highlight specific strengths, provide evidence to support the observation, and relate the strength back to the participant's objectives. The goal is to encourage risk-taking and build confidence by acknowledging contributions and noting their relevance. Responses should be brief, genuine, and focus on lifting participants up rather than being superficial or obligatory praise.
