15 - Say That You Care
Manage episode 302742807 series 2984549
In this episode you'll hear a story about how learned an important lesson: if you want people to hear you, let them know you care before you tell them what you know. This is a very powerful way to help you connect with people you may not know very well, and yet be heard when you have something to say that might be sensitive to hear. To use this technique, you need to be mindful first! (To get started with a mindfulness practice, see languageofmindfulness.com/now). People have good radar for those who are just giving advice to elevate themselves vs legit trying to be helpful from a caring place. So, when you feel the urge to offer advice, insight, or reflection - take a break and connect to why you want to. Then, if it's real, express your caring first. It matters. It changes the conversation and helps you have better, closer connections.
