• When someone’s upset I jump straight to fixing it, and it always backfires
• My instinct the second someone shares a problem is to start fixing it, and I’m learning that lands as me dismissing their feelings
• Someone comes to me upset and I’m already firing off solutions before they’ve finished, and it lands wrong because they just wanted to be heard
• The moment someone brings me a problem the answer is already on my lips and I just hand it over
