Okay.
So it's more helpful than general encouragement if you are specific about the way that you are helping someone.
You know, if you're giving this to a friend,
they're probably nervous or excited about a specific thing, not just in general.
So making sure that you're really kind of listening to what they need and tailoring the pep talk to the specific anxiety, nerves, excitement that they have.
Number three is that your pep talk doesn't always have to include advice.
If you have a genuine perspective and experience that would be helpful in that particular situation, by all means, your friend probably wants to hear that.
And that's probably why they came to you in the first place is because they want your advice in that scenario.
But.
High level advice is totally okay.
It can be things like take a breath.
That's totally fine.
You don't have to have all the answers to give someone a pep talk.
Sometimes also people don't want or need solutions.
That whole idea of, you know, are you looking for someone to listen or are you looking for solutions?
The pep talk in some cases can just be encouragement and being witness to the challenges that they're going through, the excitement that they're having, whatever it might be.
Perfect.
All right.
Quick, we don't have a lot of time before you abandon all plans to cook tonight and order that overpriced gourmet burger, so we've got to work fast.
First, don't go anywhere near your phone.
