Today's coaching question is quite straightforward, and yet often incredibly difficult to answer.
Even if it looks like a question about others and their behavior, it's actually about us: Our standards, our expectations, our perspective, our way of looking at things, our benchmarks when defining consistency, transparency, and honesty.
It's about us: What we could consider a sign of two-facedness or dissimulation could be seen as a sign of spontaneity or emotional agility by someone else.
We could disapprove or be offended while others could find the very same behavior inspiring and refreshing.
[That's one of the most difficult questions
I've published so far. And it's worth thinking about it]
It's not about how clever we are or how ingenuous others may be.
It's not even about whether or not we are perceiving someone else's behavior properly.
It's way more about what we do, think, and feel when we have the impression that someone else is being deceitful. How are we going to react, if at all?
Coaching question of the day:
"How do you deal with others' two-facedness?"
