If Words of Affirmation is not your love language, you are likely to be judgmental about it. You’ve probably thought: how annoying, that person is so insecure because they’re constantly fishing and need compliments. If you want to see this person beam, tell others and let those compliments get back to them. How else can you communicate words of affirmation? Offer encouragement by reinforcing a difficult decision: that must have been hard, you handled the pressure well. Call attention to progress made: that was a great speech, you’ve come a long way from sitting in the back of the class to now commanding the attention of an entire auditorium. Acknowledging a person’s unique perspective: your insight on how to frame financial conversations is refreshing.  Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit and husband of Serena Williams put up billboards for his wife when she returned to playing tennis after giving birth. They read ”Greatest Momma Of All Time, G.M.O.A.T.” All the words of affirmation folks in the audience just melted into a puddle.
