“Instead of getting defensive”...

Instead of getting defensive, just say, thanks for letting me know your thoughts. I’ll consider them.

— Dr Henry Cloud (Acclaimed leadership expert, psychologist, and New York Times best-selling author. His 45 books include the iconic Boundaries and have sold nearly 15 million copies worldwide. Dr Cloud founded and built a healthcare company, which operated inpatient and outpatient treatment centres in forty markets in the Western US. This hands-on clinical experience formed the basis for his extensive executive coaching background, where he devotes the majority of his time working with CEO’s, leadership teams and executives to improve performance, leadership skills and culture). 

My favourite therapist conducts weekend relationship seminars and a key component is “clearing.” He teaches participants how to invite one another to meaningful discussions that resolve whatever friction sits between them. Leading with empathy, compassion and curiosity are the key to a successful outcome. Just sayin’ :) Hugs. XO
