Have you had these experiences…You went along with friends’ choice though you didn’t feel like so and later regretted? or you kept your mouth shout in the meeting though you disagreed? People want to be liked yet ‘over-bending’ ourselves make us feel anxious, fake, or weak…What shall we do?
I observe well-respected colleagues…they know what they’re talking about and they are fair. They’re not afraid to take a stand yet speak in a way that is receptive to others even with different views. They also encourage others to speak up.
Instead of wishing to be liked…aim to be fair, be authentic & be the best of ourselves!
