#41 Are People Shoulding All Over You with Speaker, Author, leader Lisa Edwards Hutcherson
Manage episode 359888767 series 2895935
Ever feel like there’s nothing “obviously” wrong with your job, but by the end of the work-week you end up exhausted and feeling bad about yourself?
You worked hard and gave it your all. You followed the rules and did everything you were “supposed” to.
But you still felt like it was not enough.
When it comes to career (and life) there are a lot of people standing on their soapboxes preaching what you “should” and “should not” do.
Your friends say you should stand up for yourself and tell people to back off.
Your boss tells you that you shouldn’t take what your coworker says personally.
And HR has come up with a list of things you should not say. And if you say them there will be consequences.
There’s a big problem with all these “shoulds.” They come with the hidden implication that you’re “bad” if you don’t do what others say you “should” do.
It’s like when a dog gets into the trash. And then you drag it over to the mess, stick its nose in it, and tell it that it’s bad. After enough of this “teaching,” the dog stops getting into the trash to avoid getting in trouble.
But this is not teaching. What’s really happening is that the dog becomes scared. It doesn’t like it when you tell it that it’s bad. And it learns that it must obey in order for you to accept, love, and feed it.
We train dogs this way because they don’t have to cognitive understanding that humans do. They don’t have the capacity to “understand” why they “shouldn’t” get into the trash. So instead of teaching, we bully and shame them into submission.
The problem is, many people, bosses, coworkers, and even leaders will treat you like a dog. They tell you what you “should” do and make you feel bad if you don’t do it.
It’s so common that EVERYONE does it sometimes. And most people have NO IDEA they’re doing it.
Getting “should” all over often leaves people feeling bad about themselves. And when you don’t feel good about yourself, it’s hard to do your best work. It’s hard to thrive in your job and career. It’s hard to thrive in life.
As a career empowerment coach, I know how important it is to empower people to be their best selves without “shoulding” them into it.
And this is why I am so excited to talk with speaker-author-leader Lisa Hutcherson on my podcast. People know her as the “Velvet Brick”, due to her soft yet effective way of teaching people how to be a better version of themselves. When people do better because they WANT to, the effect ripples, and lasting change becomes possible.
