Description

Host: Christopher L. Camp, M.D., Creator & Guide | Mayo Clinic Human Optimization Project


Guest: Natalie Caine, Chief Administrative Officer, Mayo Clinic in Rochester


In a world that sometimes bends towards negativity, complimenting and giving praise is may seem like a lost art. But this is exactly why we need to be giving praise now more than ever! The impact that praise has (on both the receiver and the giver) is massive, so it is something that we should all be doing more frequently. To help us understand why, our guest today is Natalie Caine, Chief Administrative Officer of Mayo Clinic in Rochester.


The three big questions we have for Natalie are: 


1. What is high-quality praise, and how does it impact others?


2. Why do so many of us hesitate—or misfire—when giving praise, and how does that shortfall impact us


3. What steps can we take to be more effective of praising others in our lives?
