    — Sarah Mann

    In this episode, I’m joined by leadership and executive coach, Sarah Mann. Together, we explore the power of asking for what you need as a means to building stronger relationships. Plus, we explore the many ways we sabotage our relationships with our assumptions and talk about strategies for how to stop taking things so personally.

    Key lessons highlighted in our conversation include:

    👉 The importance of having clarity in language and expectations, stressing how assumptions often lead to misunderstandings.

    👉 Insights on coaching strategies like "Q tip" (quit taking it personally) and understanding the iceberg metaphor to recognize unseen personal struggles.

    👉 The significance of controlling emotional responses and taking personal responsibility, which impacts both personal and work relationships.

    👉 Reframing narratives to feel more comfortable in asking for what you need at work.

    👉 Different people and relationships fulfill different needs in life; recognizing this prevents isolation and fosters a well-rounded support system.
