i was asked how to balance work and family life. The challenge with work commitments in general is that if you don't create boundaries, there won't be any. A colleague of mine likes to say he's debating like he's right and listening like he's wrong. And i think that's a good way to put this, to courageously share what you want, but also to courageously listen to what others think to what others want.
One of the most basic human needs is to be understood.
When we are misunderstood, we feel alone, unvalued, and betrayed.
None of us wishes to feel this way, and no one wants to make others feel this way. So why is there so much misunderstanding in our relationships?
Join me for an important discussion on how to improve every relationship, personal and professional, through deep communication and emphatic listening.
