What is Say Something Nice Day?

Say Something Nice Day is observed on June 1, originating in Charleston, South Carolina in 2006 when Mayor Keith Summey proclaimed it in honor of Dr. Mitch Carnell, author of 'Say Something Nice: Be a Lifter at Work.' Created to counter workplace negativity, the day champions sincere compliments and kind words. Science backs it up: genuine praise activates the same brain reward circuits as receiving money, and positively communicating teams consistently outperform those that don't.
