One of the advantages of working in a field where I help a lot of people deal with a lot of problems is that sometimes, their challenges mirror my own.
Handling your own challenges is thorny. You’re close to the point of myopia. Your emotions cloud judgment. It can be difficult to work through the details of a plan in this context.
But others? I can be dispassionate and objective, energized and strategic. I can ask questions without assumptions. And then when I’m looking at the finished product, I realize…
…dang, that might just work for me, too.
