Listen "377th Floor: Giving and Receiving Advice in Relationships"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textHave you ever given someone advice only to have it backfire spectacularly? Or received well-meaning guidance that felt more like criticism than help? In this first installment of our three-part "ABCs of Relationships" series, we tackle the complex art of advice—when to give it, how to receive it, and why the source matters more than you might think.Drawing on our 22+ years together, we share candid stories about advice that went wrong and advice that illuminated blind spots during critical moments. We examine why specific guidance resonates while other input feels off-base, and offer practical frameworks for giving and receiving wisdom across different relationship types.Whether you're navigating workplace relationships, friendships, romantic partnerships, or family dynamics, you'll walk away with actionable strategies: ask permission before offering advice, share from experience rather than directing, listen fully before responding, and always use discernment about what serves you. This episode isn't just about advice—it's about creating stronger, more authentic connections through thoughtful communication.Look up, and let's elevate! Support the showhttps://www.thegenko.com
