Love it! So important - and being a person who has direct way of communicating, I need to keep this in mind and work on it Every Single Day…😅 When I am tired or stressed I slip…when I am centered and rested I am doing OK 🥰
I've learnt this the hard way over years of being a line manager. It's so true. It's also the fact that every person is different and reacts differently to feedback. I've also learnt that just because I'm the manager does not mean I know it all! I'm constantly learning from members of my team, from their ideas and knowledge, and that acknowledgement means they feel respected and empowered.
I'm a swimming instructor and I'm dealing with a *very* difficult parent right now, who doesn't seem to understand what's reasonable for a four year old to learn. It's so tempting to want to yell at her: "He's just a kid!!" But your article made me think that I need to get at the root of the problem, to be more patient and learn why she's so desperate for her four year old to become a master swimmer.

This > That feeling of belonging, being understood, and being part of something that works.<
