Listen "56: How to Turn Complaints into Action"
Episode Synopsis
Complaining is a usual part of life. We complain to others; our colleagues complain to us; and we might have a running commentary of complaints as part of our self-talk. The trouble with complaining, though, is that it keeps our thinking stuck and can prevent us from knowing and working toward what we do want. Having a way to break the habit of complaining – for both ourselves and others – can help. When we have a coaching strategy that can quickly short-circuit complaining and refocus the conversation, we can spend more time thinking about the goals we do want and the steps we can take to achieve them. In this episode, Leadership Coach Deb Elbaum shares a powerful coaching question that can quickly shift a complaining session into a productive conversation so that people feel clearer, more positive, and more empowered. If you’re ready to for a coaching tool to shift complaining into action, press the play button now. Full transcript at https://debelbaum.com/podcast/
