Encourage Them:

You can do it. I know you can.’ These are words

that are all-too-infrequently voiced. Sincere

encouragement can go a long way in helping someone

stay the course. The more specific you are, the

better the results. ‘I remember when you got through

your slump last year and ended up winning the sales

contest. I’m willing to bet that you’ll do even

better this time.’
