In this brief solo episode, I discuss the (bad) idea of trying to change people. Good intentions don't always equal good outcomes, especially when the person you're trying to change hasn't sought your advice, feedback, input or help. In fact, in many cases, trying to coerce (guilt, threaten, leverage) a person to change will create more disconnection than connection, and more resentment than compliance. I've encouraged, supported and educated lots of people, but l've never changed anyone. If they did change for the better, they did the work, not me.
