Listen "The Empty Boat Mindset & Communication "
Episode Synopsis
This month, we're exploring the 'empty boat' mindset parable and how it relates to effective communication and relationship building. The parable basically states that if an empty boat runs into yours, you navigate around it. But if someone is in that boat, you tend to react negatively, even though the same situation occurred. We discuss the importance of: Separating intent from impactResponding not reactingAssuming positive (or neutral) intentFocusing on understanding vs. placing blameCreating safety so relationships can thriveApproaching interactions as if they are "empty boats" allows you to have more control over your reactions and emotions.
