Turn Off Your Lens

Attention is one of the greatest gifts you can give someone. One of the best ways to give attention is seeking to understand their goals without editing them to suit yours.

We automatically put others’ goals through our own filter and lens, which may be too big or too small.

Your perspective is important, but the point here is not to project or predict. The point here is to empower them.

Listen to their reasons, what motivates them, and why. You will learn from this, too.
