I appreciate you.

I have a client who says that at the end of each call. It always makes me feel good and I smile.

Sometimes it is the smallest of things that can make a difference.

What are the three-word phrases you use a lot?

Here are mine.

Tell me more.
Does that work?
Are you sure?
You are brilliant!
Why is that?
Fill me in.
Let me finish.
Don't do that.
Please consider this.
Oh, my goodness.
WTF
That's not good.
Not my monkeys.
Why. Just why... (to myself, while shaking my head, and walking away)

What are yours?
