So what we'll do is I'm going to check and see just in case. So eat it or miss lucky. Do either of you have anything you want to share before we go? It's such a good topic for me because I am naturally an aggressive person and not because I am boyish, but because I was a first born and I was responsible for a lot very young.
SourceAnd so I always work into action. If I see a problem, I fix it. And I started realizing when I would go into certain spaces, some people who don't have that energy or are not as assertive, they'll be put off.
They'll think that I am maybe overdoing or trying to take over or I have ulterior motives. And it's not that I'm a fixer. And I had to realize that sometimes allow other people the opportunity to speak first or to figure out the situation and not to take it so personal when some people won't come to you directly and say that, oh, I want to speak.
They'll just be rude. And I'm like, why are you rude? Why did you speak? And I have to realize that I'm not just dealing with people. I'm dealing with trauma.
I'm dealing with energy. I'm dealing with past experiences. I'm dealing with so many things more than a person.
And so the first thing I do when someone says something inappropriate is I do what you said was pause. And this is if I'm in a business situation. And then I'll ask him, can you repeat that? Because I noticed that sometimes people say things without thinking, just like I do.
And when they repeat it, they can probably change the structure of what they were saying and it won't come up as abrasive. Right. Or I realize they just need more content.
