Five Languages

Affirmation Feel valued and motivated when they receive compliments, verbal appreciation and encouragement.

Quality Time Feel valued and motivated when receiving undivided, focused attention, quality conversation and shared activities.

Gifts Feel valued and motivated when given gifts that show the giver appreciates what they’ve done or knows them well enough to know what they like.

Service Feel valued and motivated when others see what needs to be done and do it without having to be asked.

Physical Touch Feel valued and motivated when they receive meaningful physical contact they enjoy.

Identify Your Language When was the last time you knew someone (boss, coworker, spouse, child, friends…) appreciated you? How did you know? How do you let others know you appreciate and value them?

What do you most often complain about not getting?

Individuals long to feel valued, respected and appreciated. The happiest, most loyal people (customers, employees, co-workers, spouses, children...) are regularly spoken to in their primary language.
