Have you ever been frustrated trying to motivate an employee, a friend, or a child? The notable therapist, Edwin Friedman said, “People can only hear you when they move toward you, and they are not likely to do that when your words are pursuing them…” People move toward you when they trust you. But, negative or critical words cause them to move away, which means they can’t hear what you say. Want to improve a relationship? Change what comes out of you to something peaceful and inviting.
