Addressing Concerns with Empathy and Humility
When approaching challenging conversations, it is essential to begin with empathy and humility. By acknowledging the other person's perspective and sharing your concerns gently, you can lower their defenses and promote open dialogue. It is crucial to reflect on your motives and ensure that your intention is to care for the individual, not to control or avoid discomfort.
