3.  Compliment them, but not in a way they might expect:

What is one thing your person probably likes about themselves—but perhaps thinks that you don’t? (Their strong opinions, which you see as being uncompromising; their ability to go with the flow, which you see as never being on time; their interest in art, when you wish they would focus on math….) Today, compliment them in the area they think you dislike. (“I saw how you were so willing to stop what you were doing when Kayla needed to talk; I could learn from your flexibility.”) Bonus points if you can do it in print (a note, an email…) that they can look back on just to be sure you did indeed say that!
