You fret and worry over how someone is going to react in a certain situation.<\/p>\n
And then you get a completely unexpected response when the situation actually does unfold.<\/p>\n
This is an important lesson that you can\u2019t read other people\u2019s minds<\/strong>, and attempting to is costing you your own peace of mind.<\/p>\n Instead of getting anxious in advance of how someone is going to react, make a decision to approach them with an open mind<\/a>, without making any assumptions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Whether in a social setting or fluctuating work environment, acting with an open mind can create a space for understanding and positive outcomes.<\/p>\n And in a challenge to all of us to create positive change around equality for marginalized people, we must call out biases and prejudices that we may witness.<\/p>\n This is a perfect place to start having conversations without making assumptions<\/strong> about how people are going to react.<\/p>\n Take a stand for the dignity that every human deserves without being so sure you know how it\u2019s going to go.<\/p>\n When you step into courage rather than anxiety, I promise there will be hidden gifts<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you\u2019ve found yourself in uncertain territory as our world continues to unfold, I can help. We are all feeling it and you\u2019re not alone. I\u2019ve helped many clients find the path that is right for them in the face of challenging circumstances. Please reach out for support<\/a>, whether career related, or otherwise.<\/p>\nThis is actually a form of respect.<\/h2>\n
