Encouraging persons

It takes no more time to encourage someone than it does to thoughtlessly say something.  A trick is to give yourself a “Moment’s-Edge” before launching into your question, comment, request.  You can do a “Moment’s-Edge” by electing a cue phrase as ‘I would so like to mention:’ “I like that design.”  After the person you have encouraged responds…..   It is again your turn.  And you are ready to continue: make your exchange, make your request, smile, or wave as you continue on down the hall.
