One of the greatest skills I have been taught during my coach learning and observed in people I have met who have immense impact is their ability to practice ‘Responding’ in place of ‘Reacting’.
Your reaction habits may be deeply ingrained and habitual. Read more to find out how you can respond better rather than react.
How do you retell your story? What recurring stories have come to define you? What aspects of your story replay today, every day?
