[187] Before You Assume, Pause with Lany Sullivan

from Every Day Genius · host Michele Jennae

In today's episode, Lany and I talk about assumptions, and our tendency to assume the negative. I start with a reframe with acronyms for both the positive and negative aspects of assuming. Lany then continues the conversation expressing the importance of a pause before reaction, maybe assuming that there is a good reason someone is behaving a certain way that has nothing to do with you.~~~~~Lany Sullivan is Chairman and CEO at LanySullivan, LLC She can be found at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.lanysullivan.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,on Facebook at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.facebook.com/lanyasullivan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠and w⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ww.facebook.com/lanysullivan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠on LinkedIn ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Lany Sullivan | LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠~~~~Michele Jennae is the Creator of the EDG Map, founder of EDGx365, and your host on the Every Day Genius Podcast.She helps people stop managing their genius and start flying from the tension that makes them remarkable. There is genius in every building she has ever walked into. Not potential — actual, specific, irreplaceable genius. Most of it goes unrecognized. Some of it gets managed into compliance. Too much of it quietly dims. She founded Every Day Genius (EDGx365) because she needed a way to help people see what was actually there, in the building, every one of them, and in you — and give it a name people could carry.
