“I resolve to be the person in the room that’s hardest to offend.”
What would happen if we adopted this attitude in our personal and professional lives?
Would we be better listeners? Seeking to understand, rather than defend.
More gracious? Opting first to trust, rather than assume bad intent.
Calmer? Composed, rather than anxious.
Confronting and working through challenging problems in the home and workplace isn’t easy. We often need to peel back the layers and examine what went wrong, and what we need to do to fix the situation.
Approaching these moments, not just trying, but resolving, to be the person in the room that’s hardest to offend, is a secret superpower.
