Episode #327 // Bad news can be really tough to handle, especially when it’s so unexpected that you didn’t see it coming.At times like these, it’s human nature to try to find an explanation for what happened, so that you can process it and find some meaning. This enables you to eventually move on. The first place you’ll look for answers is in what we were told. When the boss delivered the bad news, how did she explain it? (because there’s always an explanation, right?!)It’s easy to latch onto what you’ve been told, especially when it’s laced with positive messages. But the story is often constructed purely to provide you with a soft landing — and it may be a long way from the reality of the situation.How would you know if your boss’s feedback is genuine, or if she’s just lying to you to avoid an escalation of conflict? In this episode, I give you some techniques to help you read between the lines, so that you can be better at sorting out fact from fiction. ————————Join our FREE No Bullsh!t Leaders Hub on Skool.
