Why is it so hard to set boundaries? Oftentimes, it signifies a deeper value set.
Once you start establishing healthy boundaries, you can expect others to react negatively. This is a sign that the boundary is necessary and that it's working effectively. It's also helpful to visualize your boundaries getting crossed and imagine how you'll address those situations. That way, when a moment like that arises, you’ll be able to handle it rationally versus emotionally.
Employees who are the happiest and most productive are those who set boundaries. People who set limits gain respect because they show respect for themselves.
“Having the courage to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves, even when we risk disappointing others. “ Brene Brown

Barry Forward suggests The Five Steps to Establishing Work Boundaries:

1. Prioritize your values
2. Communicate your boundaries clearly
3. Bring up a boundary or violation right away
4. Focus on concrete rather than personal explanations
5. Be ready for boundary breaches - have a game plan

Dagmar Meachem on Boundaries:

1. Trust your gut
2. Be Courageous
3. Take Personal Responsibility
4. Explore Lack of Boundary Motivation
5. Practice Reframing - to give you freedom to set the boundary
6. Speak up - make choice to do something rather than be a victim

According to Matthew, we are in a constant state of change.

AND....we should focus on being present regardless of the changing that is taking place.

PAST - PRESENT - FUTURE

can't control or change the past.

can't control or change the future as the future never comes.

one zone to be aware of our impact on change...the PRESENT. (now is forever)

Replace WTF with SWN (So what's next?)

I have been laid off....focus on SWN

I have been impacted by covid...focus on SWN

I have heard the words 'you have cancer' spoken about my family members...focus on SWN

CHANGE is life. To not change is a lack of life (Death)

In business, individually AND as a team, HOW we intentionally create change and HOW we respond to the changes that have happen is one of the keys to thriving at work and at home.

CHANGE is feedback. Listen to the feedback and you will see what you need to STC

stop

start

continue

and where do you take action?....a) past (impossible) b) present YES c) future (never comes)

Matthew is also the co-author of “Lead from Your Heart: The Art of Relationship-based Leadership”, one of Amazon's top 5 best new releases for business and leadership.

Feedback. Leadership Coach Dagmar Meachem joins me for a Courage Confab discussion on Feedback. We look at creating a culture where feedback is welcomed, encouraged and trusted. How to give good balanced feedback and strategies to incorporate feedback as a leader.
Randall Stutman founder and co-head of the Leadership Practice the Admired Leadership Institute states that Balanced Feedback requires a person to give both positive and negative feedback in an equally vivid, elaborate, and detailed manner.
Radical Candor - 11 Ways to Get Feedback From Others:
Tip 1: Have a go-to question
A question like, “Is there anything I could do or stop doing that would make it easier to work with me?”
Tip 2: Embrace the discomfort
After asking for feedback, stop talking and “embrace the discomfort.” Count to 7 and commit to allowing the other person to speak first.
Tip 3: Listen with the intent to understand, not to respond
Don’t interrupt or argue when someone gives you feedback. Just listen, focus on understanding what the person is telling you, and try to learn something from it.
Tip 4: Reward criticism to get more of it
When someone provides feedback to you, treat it like a treasured gift!
Tip 5: Ask for public criticism
Another way to show that you appreciate the criticism you receive is to ask those who are most comfortable criticizing you to give the same feedback in front of others.
Tip 6: Criticize yourself in public
Criticizing yourself in public is a great way to show that you feel comfortable acknowledging that you aren’t perfect, that you have room for improvement.
Tip 7: Call out body language
Even if people aren’t telling you what they really think with their words, their body language may still be sending a more candid message.
Tip 8: Relish being wrong
Show people that you are happy when they prove you wrong.
Tip 9: Show that you care
When you show you care, you build a relationship and you build trust. People will stop seeing you as the “jerk in charge” and assuming the worst.
Tip 10: Don’t try to change your style
Figure out how to use your personal style, be it very vocal or very quiet, tough or gentle, approachable or intimidating, to invite criticism of yourself, to remind people that you want to be challenged.
Tip 11: Get theatrical
Sometimes you have to be really over the top to get feedback.
