Don't ask, Don't tell doesn't work in emotional intelligence
from Emotional Intelligence Developer · host Emotional Intelligence Developer
Excerpt: "Why being secretive prevents you from being free. Do you know about the "Don't ask, Don't tell phrase" and where it comes from? This phrase was used in the military to keep people from talking about themselves. From being open about themselves. In this message, I'll highlight why the don't ask, don't tell mindset doesn't work in emotional intelligence because it doesn't help you grow. Why waiting for someone to ask you what's wrong leads to failure. If I were you, in my opinion, you cannot wait for someone to see the signs if you have a problem. For example, I used to hope that people can see my pain without having to tell them. I thought people were on the lookout, and someone would see it by chance. But it doesn't work this way. If you want help, you have to speak to someone about it, and that's the best way." Listen to this podcast and go to the website to learn more about how to improve your well-being.
