Ep.2: Cup Filling

Cup Filler or Cup Driller? We all have “emotional cups” - both positive and negative, and it wasn’t that long ago that (generally) a person only needed 3 positives to 1 negative to feel good. That has doubled in recent times to high performing teams requiring a ratio of 6:1! We’re living in a hyper world - hyper critical, hyper sensitive, hyper insecure, so much so that many of us can only tend to see the negative in ourselves and others. Cup Drilling does nothing to enhance or build the esteem - complaining, judging, and criticizing just weaken ourselves and others. Great Cup Fillers have never been needed more on this planet, but being a great Cup Filler is not that easy. Many of us can tend to give “empty calorie” compliments (you’re AH-MAAAZ-ING!!!). We need to give “full calorie” comments which pertain to the skill, behavior, trait or act the person did - and can repeat. Just ask yourself, “Can they DO my compliment?” You can’t DO AH-MAAZ-ING! Cup Filling is just one of our “emotional muscles” and there is no better way to build your muscles than to exercise them - so let’s get some serious Cup Filling action happening - with our loved ones, our customers, our team and most of all, ourselves! Happy Cup Filling!
