This is Episode 22 of the VulnerABLE Podcast!From wanting control of everything and making her own rules as a child. To completely letting go and learning how you say things makes all the difference. Now she's teaching others how to Say Things Better!When she was a kid, she had opinions about everything. She would learn new boardgames and immediately come up with "better" rules. By "better," she thought, "more fun!" But friends who wanted to play the way they knew how would sometimes get upset. This began a path of her realizing that the way we communicate makes a big difference, and that "better" is only "better" if it makes everyone feel good. To this day she’s still learning and growing, and even considers herself a big kid. Her career in theatre is taught her so much about cooperation and letting go of control. Starting her own business a couple of years ago would be one of the scariest moments in her life. Then, shortly after,  she’d take another big risk in uprooting her life from New York to Dallas, continuing to push her own limits. Now she’s training people to Say Things Better, which is the name of her company. Helping individuals and companies harness the power of Intentional Communication. Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time to get vulnerable with Lila Smith. For more information on Lila Smith you can follow her and her company on social media or visit her company website:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lilasmith/LinkedIn (Company): https://www.linkedin.com/company/saythingsbetter/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lilalasagna/Instagram (Company): https://www.instagram.com/saythingsbetter/Website: https://saythingsbetter.com/
