​I have a bad allergy and it's probably not what you think .… Seriously… My body has a full on physiological response…. My stomach turns… My teeth tighten… My temperature rises… Until I eventually hit a threshold. Maybe it’s my Enneagram type. Maybe its my long history of not seeing the value in it since childhood. Or maybe I recognize its Maybeline and you’re just putting make up over the real issue. If we’re going to have a conversation and my subconscious mind gets the itch this is turning into drama… be prepared for one of two responses. If I care about you, I will ask questions that will eventually lead you to the actual problem. If I don’t care about you, I will politely listen until you have recognized I am not going to feed your BS. I get it, sometimes we all need to vent.

My assumptions may have damaged our connection.  It reminds me of a moment I experienced a few years ago.  At the time, I had over 100 coaching clients in a small ecosystem.  My ego was bruised within seconds.   As I walked into a training room with every bit of confidence I had, I began sharing helpful info from the back of the room.  The Trainer at the front of the room was gracious enough to let me interrupt.  Then, everything stopped when one student spoke up.  She simply asked, "and who are you?"  I stood there and felt embarrassed.  I came in guns blazing without making a simple introduction.  The lesson was quick and slightly painful.   That was my bad.  Here's the lesson.  No one is interested in all of the value we can bring until they connect with you.  I've even preached it for years, you have to connect before you can convert.  This is one time I failed at my own principle.   Here ...
