TGIM!

Today we focus on three words.

HELP ME UNDERSTAND.

This one completely speaks to me and I will TRY to use it in daily conversations.

Before I blow up.

Before I make assumptions.

Before I control the situation.

Before I impose my will on the person.

Before I bite my teeth and then complain to someone behind their back

When faced with a problem that makes me erupt emotionally and mentally I will ask

HELP ME UNDERSTAND

And then listen.

I know that will help me understand the person better

and that person

will feel more important, worthy and confident knowing I took the time to understand.

If we all do that, our team will be much better.   And much happier.  And much more aligned with each other.  Nothing fancy, just impactful.

Facil,

Joel
