The shower of compliments also called the warm shower, is about sitting down with your team. Then you will, in turn, get a Warm Shower of Compliments from each of your colleagues. 😍

‍
This means you will put one of your colleagues in The Warm Shower of Compliments and when they have received compliments from everyone, you shift to the next colleague. The praise can be everything from a sentence to a string of compliments. You simply highlight any personal trait, skill, or strength that you appreciate about them.

Why should you try The Warm Shower of Compliments?

Receiving a compliment is fantastic and giving a compliment is just as lovely. We have a lot of things we appreciate and admire about our colleagues, friends, and family. But too rarely do we take ourselves the opportunity to think about what we appreciate and share it. The Warm Shower of Compliments is a rare opportunity to do this.

We promise this exercise will boost your team’s sense of recognition toward each other, and increase the awareness of each other's skills and strengths.

“When I first heard about the exercise, I got nervous, thinking it would be awkward. 😬
‍
What should I say to the others? And worse, what are they going to say about me?

But actually, it turned out amazingly.
