Seek first to understand. It’s the core of emotional intelligence and being able to navigate your life without reacting and being out of control by the people and circumstances that surround us.

We have brought in expert Candice Johnson today to break down this important topic so we can understand what it is, why it is important, and how we can get better.

How do you respond when people come with bad news? How do you respond when the same person comes for conversation who always makes you mad? 

The answer to resolve this conflict is simpler than you think. The great news is you have complete control over it. Lean in and learn today from Candice.

Redeem Your Business Today by the Following:

How can we honor God in our business?

Stay on assignment. Don’t get stuck but be open to God’s leading even if He wants to change the direction your business is moving.

One challenge from today:

First seek to understand, then seek to be understood. Spend time understanding others and what makes them tick so you can truly be a blessing to them.

In this episode:

Be Neutral: As you learn to be neutral in your response it will create the space others need to grow and be better.

Biggest Mistake: Reacting. When you react to other people’s words or actions you are giving them the reigns to control your life.

Why do we react? We react because we have not healed, handled, or dealt with something internally. 

We react because of us; it’s not the other person.

Getting Better:

1. I wonder what would have me ___(react this way…)__?

2. Give curiosity the power not the trigger.
