Tell People What You Need — Кассета

Sometimes you don’t need advice. You don’t need someone to solve the problem or tell you what you should do next. You just need a little reassurance. In this episode of Brave Moves, I’m talking about something I’ve noticed in my own relationships and even with past coaching clients. Sometimes people reach out without really saying what they need. They may want reassurance, a sounding board, advice, or simply someone who will listen. The problem is that the person on the other end of the conversation has no idea which one you’re looking for. And I’ve been on both sides of this. I’ve wanted to jump into coaching mode when someone really just wanted me to listen. I’ve also expected someone to somehow know what I needed without actually telling them. So what if we got a little better at asking? One simple question can change the entire conversation: “What do you need from me right now?” And when you’re the one reaching out, try saying it clearly: “I don’t need you to fix this. I just need to talk.” Or, “I could really use some reassurance right now.” Your Brave Move Pay attention to what you’re asking for from the people in your life. The next time you reach out to someone, tell them what you need instead of hoping they’ll figure it out. And think about someone who has offered you reassurance at a moment when you really needed it. Thank them today, and tell them specifically what their support meant to you. If you loved this episode, text me and let me know what you though. Support the show Why Isn't This Working?
