Speaking of validation. I have been practicing this skill in many areas of my life for the past few months and it has blown my mind how much validating has improved my relationships outside of MR. My biggest weakness in my professional (and probably personal) life has been actively listening to someone when they speak to me. As a manager of several dozen people, my job is often very demanding. I constantly have to multitask and when team members need something from me, I have a bad habit of hearing them but not listening. Since practicing validation, I have grown the respect and depth of my work relationships tremendously. It makes me feel really great to know that teammates feel heard and feel important.
