Good morning
I will answer the first question now-I vent with the hope of the other person just listening. Once that is accomplished I can receive their advice or encouragement. April and Loris are EXPERT listeners and I love them dearly fir always being there for me!
I will share my takeaway from your Story Time when I wake up and can enjoy it😀
I have learned to be purposeful in my venting. There are some I know when I vent they will listen and there are others who will offer advice. Love the quote “work it until it’s worth it! My takeaway from today’s video is to focus on what I can learn or gain from an experience or task.
When venting I want the person to listen first & follow up with advice or supportive words.
And my take away from the video msg is ‘No regrets’ …you can get something out of whatever you do when you put forth effort & genuine intent to do your best.
It varies, there are times when I need a good listener and no advice but, there are other times when advice is needed. If you are a good listener you know which one is needed. My trusted friends have been spot on with what is needed for each situation.
2. You did great , those words on hanging on my wall and my son who is graduating with his masters in social work uses them frequently with his clients everything we go through teaches, if you are open to learning.
great stuff here boss👍the quotes, tips for happiness ( a( although I need to TAKE that trip I plan😁) I’m going to listen to storytime while I work.🙂
I only vent to people I trust and respect so I do want feedback after I vent, because it helps calm me down😌
sometimes I just want them to listen because sometimes I already know what needs to be done, I just want to vent. I usually ask for advice when I don’t know what to do about something
I feel it depends how n the venting..sometimes it just needs to be said to realize the absurdities.
Other times I’m looking for advice.
Loved your storytelling. I loved that April called in:)
“Work it, so it is worth it,” is great advice. You can take something away from every experience if you take time to reflect.
I vent only when I don’t see the other person listening after many attempts to address something.
My goal from this week is to handle any situation without venting. That helps me stay positive and that also helps atmosphere to stay positive.
Coach I love your Story time so much. It has a great message, humor and it’s interesting. Thank you!
The message I take from the story is “The journey and the process is so important. Don’t get disappointed with the result but enjoy the journey. As journey has a lot to teach”
1 When I vent I think it’s better if I get advice & opinion. I don’t want anybody to just listen.
2 I like your video coach! I always believe that when you try new things may be you will fail but you learn something new every day from your experience & when we don’t get success we felt bad but we learn more!
When I’m venting, I just first want the person to listen. Sometimes talking the issue out loud helps me realize what’s the main problem. And then if I don’t get it then yes please give me advice. Sometimes it’s hard to see another outlook than the one we have especially when we’re upset about something. So wholesome advice is well appreciated.
My takeaway from the video is NO REGRETS! Everything we’ve been through every learning experience we have can have lasting impacts in our lives and can be translated in different situations. Some experiences don’t need to be great to be worthy of keeping! Embrace it because something has changed in you for the better after going through it
When I vent, sometimes I just want the person to listen but other times I would want advice. I really like the quote “work it until it’s worth it” and my takeaway is that you can take away valuable lessons and experience from the journey and the past.
Hi everyone! Coach I loved story time!! I felt there was so much that I learned from just that 1 minute video. Most of the time I just want someone to listen, but depending on what I’m talking about I might want feed back. It really all depends on what I’m talking about.
i prefer someone to listen to me.
When I vent sometimes I would like to just get whatever it is off my chest so having someone just sit and listen to me is what I would like. But other times I have no idea what to do in a situation and in those times I ask them what they would do if they were in my shoes. What I took away from your video is that we grow through what we go through. I relate to that a lot specifically in my team and the events that have happened over the past couple of years
One thing I took away from the video was that any step in the right direction towards your goal is a positive move and something that can help you wether it is a small step or a large one.
I usually want advice.
Great presentation Coach! My takeaway is that every experience has the opportunity to be impactful. And it has all culminated and made me the person I am today.
Most of the time, I just want someone to listen, then after a few minutes, I start listening to advice. I think the story time was great – it was motivational and funny
1) Well, I definitely need my audience to listen when I’m venting. At some point, however, I need the person or persons listening to me to offer some sage advice or refer me to a person, text or tool that will help me solve the problem I’m venting about. That’s what I do for those who vent with me.
2) My takeaway from the video was that people learn from their experiences when they have the right attitude or mindset. Thanks for sharing that life lesson, Q.
When I am venting I want you to listen first so you can give good feedback when I ask. I will ask after I vent. I vent to hear what I experienced and how I am thinking about it. Then I need help adjusting my perspective to who I want to be in the situation and from the situation.
Thanks for the story time. I over analyze the opportunities I have and miss opportunities to grow. I am going to change that.
