Inside-Out: Interpersonal Transformation at Work

What's Behind a Fight or Flight Attitude?


Listen Later

When we "fight" or "flight" with our difficult & stressful relationships at work, it doesn't mean that we literally go running away through the hills and hide in a cave OR slap someone in the face with a leather glove and challenge them to a duel!

At the core of "flight" is avoidance, which shows up as canceling meetings, not replying to emails, or anything else where you're AVOIDING interacting with this difficult person. 

At the core of FIGHT, is a very polarized view: right/wrong, good/bad. It's about protecting what's important to you. 

Both of these methods WORK, but they are very costly in terms of your mental, emotional, and physical health. 

So if you REALLY want to change from a "Fight or Flight" attitude, you need to become aware of what's going on INSIDE. 

The two MAJOR contributors to a Fight or Flight attitude lies in, what I call, "Mirrors" and/or Values. We explore these two sources and WHAT TO DO ABOUT them in this short podcast.

Enjoy!
