415. Encourager: Softening Your Yes and No in Practice

415. Encourager: Softening Your Yes and No in Practice10 aug11 min

<p>What did you say yes to this week that you're already resenting?</p><p>Saying a clean no (and a clear yes) isn't as simple as it sounds, it's something we have to practise and normalise. My niece never says yes or no to anything. It's always "what about we do it this way?" Turns out that's exactly how she talked her way into becoming a ski instructor, against her father's doubts. </p><p>This week I'm unpacking why softening our yeses and noes might be the small change that actually sticks, plus questions to sit with.</p><p>Running a practice involves far more than clinical knowledge. Sometimes what helps most is having the right systems in your back pocket, that's what Strategy Lab is for. </p><p></p><p>Not a member yet?</p><p>Head to www.geraldineheadley.com/strategy_lab and come and join us.</p><p>www.geraldineheadley.com</p><p>www.instagram.com/mentoringwithgeraldine/</p>
