This video reminds us of two crucial things: Firstly, let’s avoid force-feeding our beliefs onto others. Secondly, let’s stay open to challenging our perspectives and embracing new viewpoints. Our bubbles often shield us from considering fresh ideas, regardless of their scientific backing. Living abroad, immersed in diverse cultures, has shaken my once-unchallengeable beliefs. It’s a humbling yet liberating experience. Those who’ve lived abroad often excel at navigating this dilemma, constantly adjusting their beliefs and embracing the freedom of acknowledging our limited understanding of the world. It’s a skill worth honing, wherever life takes us. #lifecoach #lifecoaching #basedonscience #perceptionisreality #weliveinabubble #bubbles #challengeyourbeliefs #coaching #openminded #openmindedapproach #challengeaccepted #growthmindset #selfimprovement #selfawareness #lifelonglearning #lifelonglearner #stilllearning #stilllearningeveryday

I have been the recipient of this “faux pas” before but I cannot deny having committed this error myself, perhaps plenty of times. Nowadays with so many of our social interactions taking place online, it has begun to feel like there is a lot of pressure to perform well in those seemingly rare face-to-face encounters. We all want to walk away thinking, “nailed it!” And yet, I think that in the process we have failed to remember that conversations are meant to be balanced between both (or all) those in attendance. People like to be listened to. In fact, research in psychology and social sciences supports the idea that simply listening to others talk may not necessarily alleviate feelings of loneliness, rather one must feel heard and understood for the social interaction to have significant meaning. For this reason I would like to highlight one small (yet very prevalent) aspect of social interactions that can be improved upon. I would love to hear from any of you in the comments, has it happened to you? Are you the culprit? What have you found that works or doesn’t work well in these situations? #socialinteractionskills #lifecoach #lifecoaching #socialskills #conversationskills #communicationcoach #lonliness #buildcommunity #bettercommunication #community #communication #conversation #personaldevelopment #growthmindset #listen #listenmoretalkless #listenmorespeakless

I can’t tell you how prevalent it has become to consider communication as a performance where a person performs a one-man-show while the others sit back and take it. How often does this work? Unless you are a professional comic who people pay to watch, assume that this is NOT the right approach to conversation. A friendly reminder: most people prefer to speak rather than be spoken to (or more appropriately spoken AT). To be a good communiczator, you just need to be curious, express interest, ask questions. Conversations, coaching, teaching, communication in general should be a collaboration involving everyone. The common goal should be to keep everyone interested and participating. And this applies to adults just as much as to children. Keep that in mind as you assess the skills you hope to improve upon this year. Are YOU a good conversationalist? #communication #conversation #instruction #coach #lifecoach #lifecoaching #coaching #communicationcoach #andreaholm #tipsforlife #communicationtips #bettercommunication

We’ve all been there. I’m sure some of you are there right now. Being “there” is okay, it’s just that only seeing one stinking solution to it is NOT okay. Because that leads to this feeling of desperation, which is not a good look. Keep in mind that there are many ways to approach the “voids” that we encounter in our life. And convincing ourselves that we have a variety of options to choose from will showcase our adaptability and resilience - attributes that are highly valued by job recruiters and romantic interests ☺️ Good luck out there! #yougotthis #options #resilience #adaptability #jobinterview #firstdate #confidence #gome #bigpicture #lifecoach #lifecoaching #coach #psychology #selfdevelopment #growthmindset
