Every human interaction, every movie, every book, every podcast, every experience can allow you to learn something new, to cherish beauty, to discover powerful input, to embrace change, to enjoy the power of serendipity.
Well, if you are open for it.
While getting to know systemic coaching a couple of years ago, what stuck with me, among other things, was the question "How do you invite people to interact with you?", referring to the unique and very personal way each of us has to strike up a conversation, to work a room, to talk to someone for the first time, to set (or avoid setting) boundaries with the people around us.
[How do your invitations look like,
when you are interacting with new people?]
How do you invite people into your life and how do you like them to stay?
Which kind of behavior is acceptable to you?
What if someone is going to be rude, to attack you verbally, to do name-calling, to let you down, more than once?
What if someone should treat you poorly from the very beginning, for no reason?
What if they would not respect what is important to you, even after you said what you need?
Would you stay and welcome them in your life?
The constant cascade of new technologies will continue to create a more empowered population. We will be increasingly connected and isolated at the same time. We will demand more self-expressions. Within this topsy-turvy context, we all will have to learn how to leverage humanities to connect, inspire, and influence others and ourselves.
