Check Yourself: You are NOT Perfect


Listen Later

What do you do, think or say when you're wrong?

How about right in the middle of an argument when you realise the other person is actually right?

The deep 'need' to be right is very common and comes primarily from our survival and belonging instincts. At the primitive level, to be wrong means to be isolated from others and possibly death…

Today, however, the fear of being wrong not only increases our stress levels, but it also hinders progress in our change efforts as teams and individuals.

In this episode, Zanele Njapha, The UnLearning Lady, talks about how finding WHAT is right has to become more important than WHO is right if we are to make lasting behaviour changes and transform in big leaps as organisations.

In this eye-opening episode, we cover;

  • Unlearning the need to always be right

  • Challenging the fear of being wrong through reframing

  • Building awareness of being prone to error and fault, as humans and not judging self for this

  • 3 practical strategies for 'checking yourself' and employing humility as a tool for growth

Are you addicted to being right, but know it can get a bit much? Or know someone who could use some support with this?

You'll deeply appreciate this empowering and practical episode.
