In this episode Dr. Gaye Lang and Eddie Blaylark discuss:

  • Working at an individual level 
  • Fostering growth in yourself and others 
  • Knowing your end game 

Key Takeaways: 

  • Tolerance is a learning process that requires an individual to look within and cultivate a desire to change. It isn’t only self-awareness that’s necessary, but a willingness to go into different environments. 
  • Foster growth within yourself and then foster that growth in the people around you. The results that you want to see in others have to begin with you. 
  • Look at the end game in your position. Where do you want to be in the next three years? Create a life map from where you are to where you want to be and refer to it to see if you’re on the path to what your goal is. 

 

“Tolerance - the individual has to take an inward-outward approach, and they have to want to change and if that desire to change is there, then that that will be a lot easier for this process to take place.” - Eddie Blaylark
