We tend to be pretty straightforward on it. Maybe not as blunt as our predecessors, the boomers. They tend to be pretty blunt. You can take that for what it's worth. I appreciate it. I love a straight shooter. No. Yeah. Does it sting sometimes and how they present things? Of course. But Once your ego dusts itself off, everything's good again.

But again, all you can do is bring the information, share the insights of what we've learned, the research, how it's backed, and the benefits of adjusting a few things here and there. And it goes a long way in making things better for you. Those are the couple stories of many that I've encountered over my career and in recent years and in the works that I do.

Usually what I'll do, and this is again leveraging a lot of therapy work, is have you talk about your current career or the one you're leaving. One of the things we'll talk about is having you go back in time when you first applied for that role and what your feelings were when you were selected and hired and that first day. Go back in that and think about that.

Typically, in most cases, those are some happy memories. Those are some happy thoughts. And then we flush out, okay, what changed? From your perspective, what changed? What was going on? And through that conversation can flush out some of the causes

could be external maybe there was a new manager and that manager was not easy to work with or wasn't clearly communicating or who knows there could be all kinds of different things or could be internal you might have been going through something else during that time maybe

It's just getting to the bottom of, okay, where are some of the ingredients that are adding to this? It's okay. Then from there we can see, are there opportunities to maybe look at things differently or change your perspective on a particular matter to identify that jerk manager that left from the organization because people leave their managers. They don't necessarily leave their companies.

They leave their managers. Putting yourself kind of in their shoes. What do you think their motivation is? It'll go from, oh, they're just evil and mean. It's like, do you think they may have some self-confidence issues? Do you think they don't feel prepared as a manager? So they are defaulting to being this...

which is great, but then also frustrating because then all of a sudden you start, and this is just me personally speaking, you get frustrated because you're like, I know what their motivation was in that, or I know why they're doing this. And you want to tell them that, but it could, it would come off completely wrong sometimes if you do. So it's
