Almost everyone knows how to thank another person for a favor or a nicety.

But if you’re hardcore and want to be even more responsive about showing your thanks, here are a few more ways.

• Tell someone else who knows the person you want to thank about how you feel about them.  Watch how fast that gets back to them in a positive way.

• The next time you want to reward an employee or fellow worker for doing something outstanding, give a gift to their spouse and say something like “to the husband of our company’s best salesperson in May”.

• Pay the compliment in front of as many people as possible in person, through social media or by email.

• Privately look them in the eye and show them your humanity as you express your gratitude – no distractions, phones or screens.

• Put a note or a card in a place where they’ll find it and bring a smile to their face.
