Spread positive gossip


Gossip has a negative connotation. However if we use the definition taken from the fields of sociology and psychology, gossip is, “evaluative talk about a person who is not present.” This definition does not state that the gossip is slanderous or vile about someone. In fact, gossip might even be very positive!
Positive gossip is when information, that could benefit a person or that results in people developing a positive view of that person, is shared.

Share something positive about another person
