EMPOWERING VS. DISEMPOWERING LANGUAGE

HOW TO HANDLE DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS
One of the most consistent questions I hear most from clients is how to navigate difficult conversations. Here’s what it takes to become a great communicator in delicate situations
CHOOSE CAREFULLY

PARENTS - STAY CURIOUS
The way I interact with my kids, what I say, how I show up, truly shapes in real time their sense of self, who they believe they are, what they can do, what the world around them is like. We are conditioning our kids at every interaction.

It took me a while to understand that those tough moments, failures, rejections, trying experiences, heartbreaks, all had their purpose in shaping me who I am today.
EXPERIMENT WITH SPEAKING UP
No matter what age we are, we all hesitate to speak up sometimes. We're all afraid to expose ourselves. We all cave in sometimes. The only way to become more assertive is to experiment. To try it out. See how it feels.
DO WHAT YOU LOVE
Stay in that discomfort and learn what is it that you're feeling drawn to. Skepticism will show up. Frustration will show up. Choose to stay optimistic. Take action. There is no better time than now to begin.
HOW TO PREPARE FOR A TOUGH MEETING

GET TO KNOW YOURSELF
I realized recently that perhaps the reason it took me so long to figure out my calling was that I was looking for the wrong outcome. I wasn't actually looking for the right job.
