Great lessons! I remember one of my former bosses created a list of everything she would do to get promoted, and she shared it with her boss’s boss. And, she got that promotion. Then she shared the lesson with me.
Whenever I meet with a prospective client, I always ask the question: “What does success look like to you if we were to work together?” I ask this question to ensure we are aligned because everything is so much easier when we have the same goals.
This hit home for me! I grew up in a very volatile household, which discouraged any sort of boundary-setting or healthy conflict resolution. As an adult, those factors have made it harder for me to seek clarity because I learned early on that I had to accept ambiguity in relationships. To seek clarity in my family would have been seen as a personal attack or as being ungrateful. This article gave me some actionable steps I can use in future, so thank you!

Good advice as always. I put it into our newsletter.

This piece resonate deeply with me.
I also recently had the feeling of gaining a significantly higher level of clarity - just after I had to flee my home country with my family.
