"She just sat there, arms crossed staring at me.
I felt so disrespected." - Rose
When someone has their arms crossed, it means they are defensive and not listening... right?
What about when they are looking away when you are talking?
Or doodling when you are trying to make a point?
Respect.
Disrespect.
Being over-sensitive is a trademark of the typical emotional eater.
I was constantly feeling less than, not enough, and taken for granted.
Until finally, I learned a simple communication key.
3 keys actually.
We each have different LEAD SYSTEMS! 👊
colors are important, things often match
need to look right / good before going places
see things differently
look at people first, then listen / feel
often doodle when fully listening
sounds are important / remembered
need things loud or quiet
hear things differently
listen to people first, then look / feel
often have their arms crossed when listening
feelings are very important
need to have a good feeling before acting
feel things differently
have a gut feeling about people first, then see / hear
often fidget or walk around when listening
Once we understand our LEAD SYSTEM and what it means, we no longer take ourselves or other so seriously.
Take the test - and let me know which of the 3 are your lead system.
