Listen to the original audio · Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Timestamps stay in sync with the live audio
Today. What I want to talk about. Is people pleasing. Um just before we get going, I just want you to know that I want this to be the best experience for you and I will do anything I can so that you're happy.
Are you people pleasing with me? Yes. I'm so pleased. Think about the last time someone asked you to do something at work and you said yes. When you said yes. Did you mean it?
Was it like a real full bodied hell yes? Or was it more like a Yeah, yeah, totally. Did you say yes with confidence? Or was there a tiny voice inside you screaming, what are you doing? You don't have time for this, followed by total remorse or self-loathing as you slowly recognize that the future you now has more work than you can handle. If any of this sounds even vaguely familiar, then congratulations, you have people pleasing tendencies.
