Here are a few ways to respond to a compliment:
“Thank you, it makes my day to hear that.”
“I really put a lot of thought into this, thank you for noticing.”
“Thank you, I really appreciate you taking the time to express that.”
“Thank you, I am happy to hear you feel that way!”
If the person compliments you for another person’s work, redirect the compliment to the correct person:
“It is great to hear you feel that way! Actually, Amanda is the one behind this project. If you have a minute, it would make her day to hear how you feel.”
“I would love to take credit, but John is the one responsible for this. I will share your feedback when I see him today.”
If someone compliments you for something that was a team effort, share the appreciation:
If you are the team leader, note the person may be recognizing you for your role in leading your people, so be sure to first take the compliment, and then acknowledge the efforts of your team.
“Thank you for noticing, it is really great to hear that. Everyone on our team has been working really hard on this over the last few weeks. I will share your feedback in our next meeting.”
It is important to keep in mind that our habitual responses to compliments have been developed throughout our lives and, as with any habit, it will take effort and practice to change. Over the next week, pay attention to how you and others react to compliments and try using some of the responses above. After a few weeks, you may find that it is not that hard to just say, thank you!
