Episode 341: A Graduate's Gift: Empathy and Predictability

Listen Later

What do people in transition need the most? Well, the greatest gift we can give them is empathy and predictability. Ted breaks down how to give a gift that will be meaningful and needed for the people graduating or transitioning as well as describes how to support people as they take on their newest challenge. 

Simple process:

  • Give clear expectations of how you will be there for them
  • Recognize how hard they've worked to get where they are
  • Tell them you love them
  • Provide praise for the way in which they live their lives.
