We’ve lived in our house since 1989. At that time, I covered the walls with wallpaper that I loved – but am weary of now. Every year, I’d select a room and put it on my “to do” list to strip the wallpaper and then paint the room. And every year, for the longest time, nothing would happen.
Intention and perception often run a collision course. I think I am being helpful, my employees see it as micromanaging. I think I am empowering someone, they think I have abandoned them. I believe we’ve had a solid two-way dialogue, the other person believes that I talked too much and listened too little.
For much of my life, I flung myself blindly into each day. I typically asked myself at the beginning of the day, “What do I need to do today?” Then I had two different friends ask me two compelling questions that stopped me dead in my tracks.
