Someone who says, well, I really wanted to be able to support my family and I knew I'd always have a job as a lawyer versus someone who says, well, I saw my dad get arrested as a kid and I always wanted to fight for the underdog.
Those are very different conversations, and they might be the response of the same person depending on the mindset that they're in.
But the first one suggests to me, oh, you're in a practical mindset.
We should talk about finance.
The second one is much more emotional or even potentially social.
They were talking about how we feel about our parents and about injustice, what's going on in society.
So the first thing to do is to ask that deep question just to figure out what kind of conversation is happening right now.
Then the second thing we can do is we can just ask permission.
So when I come home from work now and I start complaining about my day, my wife will often say, do you want me to help you solve this?
Or do you just need to get this off your chest?
Are you just venting?
And I actually love it when she asks that because sometimes until that moment, I have not stopped to figure out what I want from this conversation.
I haven't stopped to figure out why I'm complaining.
And I can say to her, no, I just want you to listen.
It's not a big deal.
Or I can say, yeah, let's solve this together.
So oftentimes, simply asking and getting permission to find out what kind of conversation is happening is really powerful.
And in fact, in schools, they teach teachers to do this by asking students when they come up with something, do you want to be helped?
Do you want to be hugged?
Or do you want to be heard?
