It’s normal to want to vent, to get some of those thoughts out, to discuss things and wrestle with issues. However, while beneficial, you’ve got to be careful that venting doesn’t turn into gossiping.On this week’s episode of Leveraging Leadership, host Emily Sander breaks down the subtle but important difference between venting and gossiping and why the former can help while the latter can ruin. – – – – – Venting is Normal and OK (When Done Correctly) (00:00)Telling the Difference Between Venting and Gossiping (01:40)Four Things to Help Stop Yourself From Gossiping (06:00)Recap and Takeaways (13:15)– – – – –Emily Sander is a C-suite executive turned leadership coach.
