Wisdom on LinkedIn
You may be expending valuable energy absorbing other’s life lessons on LinkedIn, yet gaining very little in return. It is because these experiences are not drawn from your own lived experiences. Instead, focus your energy on reflecting and creating your own life experiences. Life does not unfold on social media – it happens outside of it.
“For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them.” – Aristotle
Three truths about lies
- Repetition makes anything believable – even lies.
- When lies are packaged with partial truths, they appear as truth but remain lies.
- The omission of truth is a subtle form of lying.
Although we are raised to value honesty, we are seldom taught how to identify lies and understand the real intent behind them. We navigate through a sea falsehoods in pursuit of reality.
“Deception is an essential part of human communication. What matters is why the lie is told and whether it causes harm.” – Paul Ekman
Coaching stories
Some coaching stories are much beyond the immediate impact created for the coachee. They delve into the coachees struggle to confront and accept what they have been denying for a while. These denials may have served them well in the past but are no longer effective in the present situation. The impact achieved is merely the consequence of working through these denials with the guidance a coach.
