Episode notes
Managing Discomfort
- Notice physical reactions to discomfort, such as swirling belly or throat narrowing.
- Welcome these sensations without judgment, allowing them to move through you.
Giving Feedback
- Feedback reveals more about the giver than the receiver, reflecting their own insecurities or biases.
- Consider if the opposite of your feedback might also be true, promoting open-mindedness.
Embracing Messiness
- Messiness in the workplace fosters growth and learning, while excessive neatness stifles it.
- Embrace tension and polarity as opportunities for evolution, not problems to be suppressed.
