Your presence liberates others
Sometimes getting what you need is found in giving what you have already.
I picked up the phone and called a well-known business coach to get some advice. They didn’t know me and their time was expensive. In the first moments of the call, the person felt free to just talk. I was watching the clock because this call was EXPENSIVE. It took me a second to reign in my attitude but when I did I recognized the mission in the moment. As they continued to talk, they shared some deep fears with me. I sat quietly listening, struggling with myself to not jump in and start giving advice.
