People Work
The most helpful thing that I have begun to practice when working with others is to try and understand them. Understanding creates connections and connections create sympathies. If I can understand where a person is coming form or why they approach a situation the way they do, I then have a foundation to build my interactions with that person on. By seeking to understand the person rather than the position they are taking, I can then find areas were we relate and create a relationship without having to conform or agree with any particular view point or ideas
When we try and understand a person, we start to grow in the process. Our experiences broaden, and we can begin to see a person’s motives behind their choices and reactions. When we start to see others motives we can begin to work together with others productively and in a health environment.
