from Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life Hosted by Michelle Burkhard

Sometimes people need a question, sometimes connection, sometimes a challenge, and sometimes they need us tolovingly hush and sit beside them. Real mastery isn’t having one perfect way to help. It’s having a whole toolbox and enough humility, trust, and awareness to ask, “What does this person need from me right now?” [email protected] Want to become more intentional and effective in helpingother people grow?
