Episode notes

Change your habitual orientation to the people in your life. From whatever it might be, towards understanding them first can change every aspect of your life. That is my experience, my lived experience for a quarter of a century. I only wish that I had done better at it, invested more in it. The return on the investment has been so high.

What is your habitual orientation towards other people? When you encounter people, customers, employees, your spouse, children, an unhelpful person in customer service, what is your inclination? Is it to be heard by them? Is it to get by them? Is it to handle them as efficiently as possible so that you can get on with more important things, or is your first inclination to understand them? By the end of this episode, you'll be able to use one habit to change every aspect of your day, perhaps even your life.
