Anthony Marcolini’s Reviews > Whale Done!: The Power of Positive Relationships > Status Update

Live not like a seagull but a whale with the whale done approach! It praises people immediately, be specific about what they did right or almost right, share your positive feelings about what they did, encourage them to keep up the good work.

Learned about the power of a redirecting response which sets up a positive response. If you are waiting for the perfect action to praise, you will be waiting the rest of your life. Praise progress! Kids need that reward from a job well done, hugs, high fives, tv, etc.

Great! I am learning about building trust, accentuate the positives, and when mistakes occur, redirect the energy.
