In this 13th episode and season 1 finale we dive into Masterful Feedback. I unveil a powerful feedback formula called GROW that I finalized this past year after teaching hundreds of feedback courses, and struggling with my own ability to provide and receive feedback in a constructive way.
Picture this: a live feedback session where I become both the teacher and the student.
As you masterfully listen to my Masterful Listening podcast, prepare to have your mind blown as I masterfully listen to my own masterful listening podcast while inviting you to masterfully listen to me masterfully listening to me speak about masterful listening. Has anything ever been more META^^^ ???
See I told you I was funny 😄
Before we dive into the META^^^ experience, I'd like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to my incredible podcast producer Gogo, and to the amazing guests who have contributed to this season: Dikla, Anya. I could not have asked for more incredible Season 1 guests. And to Jonathon and Rafi, thank you for your compassion as I navigated the technical side of podcasting and totally messed up the episodes we recorded (which we shall re-record more elegantly for Season 2.)
Get ready to enhance your feedback conversations and embrace the transformative possibilities of masterful feedback you masterful listener you ;)

Full Episode Transcript
Speaker 1 I did it! I did it!
Speaker 2 Masterful Listers! Oh my god! Episode 13! That was the goal, the delusional dream, and it's here. Welcome.
Speaker 1 Doesn't it feel good to do what you say you gonna do?
Speaker 2 Ah, well, this one is dedicated to a me. I'd like to thank me for making this podcast. And I'd like to thank you for listening. Man, if you've listened to every episode this season, that means you are on the 13th episode plus a trailer. Uh that kept throwing me off on my spreadsheet all season. I was looking at the spreadsheet and the first episode trailer wasn't on it, but the platforms count the trailer as the first episode. So if you noticed because you were listening, I kept saying it was the wrong episode um number every time until I caught this. Which brings me to this last
Speaker 2 episode's topic. A topic near and dear to my heart. Feedback. I teach uh feedback courses, and probably consistently, I have to say, the one thing everyone I've ever met struggles with is receiving feedback and giving feedback, frankly, whether critical or affirmative. Like what's weird is I've found more people actually struggle receiving positive feedback than uh negative. And also, most people feel like when they hear the word feedback, uh, that it's like bad. I'm gonna tell you a funny story about that. In fact, I forgot about that until right now, and I'm gonna write it down because if you know me at all at this point, you
Speaker 2 know I like to take notes. Uh feedback story from the Dominican Republic. Yeah, this was something that humbled me but taught me so much about feedback, and now I get to teach it, which is the point. Feedback is a gift, it's a gift, it helps us grow. I'm gonna teach you my grow formula for feedback. My grow formula, grow is an acronym, was uh developed over many years and me teaching a lot of other feedback models. And yet this one is my own twist. The sweat, the sweaty twist, the sweaty tit. I literally almost just said the sweaty tits. Like that's what was coming out of
Speaker 2 my mouth, and I can't believe that I just recorded that. And I'm not gonna cut this because I also want to tell you I did every single episode in one take. That is how I do things. I am not saying it is the right way to do things. In fact, it might have been smarter for me to cut some places where when I listened back to the masterful listening school, I thought, I don't know if the feedback on that would be great. And I still learn. That's the point. So, what I'm gonna do today is I'm gonna teach you a feedback formula so that you have
Speaker 2 a better relationship with feedback when you gotta give it as a boss, when it's hard to give when someone's been uh really unable to receive it in the past. What if they get defensive? Uh, what if they don't agree with you? I'm gonna share some stuff that always helps me because feedback is so good. It's so important. I always want feedback, and I gotta say, I've been practicing this a long time. It can be still challenging to receive it, which is why it's very important to be intentional when going into any feedback conversation. I'm gonna get to that in a moment. But as we always do,
Speaker 2 let's stay to the format and the structure. This is a school, it is the world's first listening school. That's super rad that you really want to go to. That was my intention. And I'm so curious if you would be willing to take a few minutes and actually give me some feedback after this episode. This is a recap of the season. I'm gonna go through each one and I'm gonna share something in a form of feedback about the episode to myself. Honestly, I'm just gonna record it because I really do want feedback. And funny enough, I think the person we're most worried about getting feedback from is
Speaker 2 ourselves because I don't know about you, but I'm a lot more critical on myself than I think anyone would ever guess. I come off very confident because I am, and I think what's built my confidence is I've had to give myself a lot of feedback, but I wasn't exactly doing it in like a super helpful way. I kind of described it metaphorically as I was kicking the shit out of myself when I was already down. It's like that's the time to probably like give myself a hug, like I would a child that was scared or crying. And then, yeah now, kick their ass a little bit
Speaker 2 when they're feeling better. Uh, there's a time I always say as a coach, I am deeply masculine and eternally feminine. I will beat the shit out of you if I have to, not physically. And I will catch you gently right before you fall, because we need both. We need range. And feedback is also another topic where we need range. So here is how I invite you to listen today. Remember, I have been integrating skills, listening skills, tools, every episode. I've tried to keep the pace kind of slow, but moving along. I repeated a lot of things because again, the neuroscience shows, I think when we hear
Speaker 2 something, I always confuse is it 17 or 37 times? Point is we gotta hear things a lot to really have them sink in. So I'm actually curious in terms of feedback, if you choose to give it to me. Uh, how was it if you listen to a lot of episodes to kind of hear the same thing over and over again? The idea of masterful listening, what that means, but then adding on the different layers, right? What's it like to put on a compassion lens or what's it like to listen to two people talking in a super different tone or pace, right? There's so many nuances. And
Speaker 2 yet, yeah, I don't know if the pace works because the other thing was I did this for me. Like, I didn't, interestingly enough, want to be thinking about you at all. Because in my whole life, that's what I did. I was obsessed with thinking about the other. What is the audience gonna think of my writing or my video or my podcast? Not because I'm even worried, but like, are they gonna get it? Are they gonna like it? And if they don't, ooh, it's like a social media post that you think is amazing and meaningful and like no one gives a shit. It's like, have you ever
Speaker 2 had that experience? I mean, I feel like if you're, I mean, yeah, I was gonna say millennial, duh, Gen X, but I mean, maybe not a baby boomer. Maybe you're wiser than that. But the point is, we've all made a post at some point when we were overly obsessed with social media, I think, in an unhealthy way, where I used to post, it was always for me, and honestly, I gotta say, it's always been real. Like I post the good, the bad, the tough. I just stop posting when I go deeper in Word. And I post more when I'm more prolific and inspired, which makes sense.
Speaker 2 I'm just creating more and thinking more and producing more. Uh, and I'm also more confident because the feedback I'm giving myself at those times is helpful and it's productive and it's a good reminder. Um, because I don't want to ever post anything, including this, because I'm obsessed with how you're gonna receive it. It's about me. I'm having this experience, and my intention going into this was to enjoy it. I didn't want another creative artistic expression and endeavor to have the stress of it has to make me money. I did that with photography, didn't work. I've done that with a lot of different things that I was
Speaker 2 like passionate about, but somehow the pressure of like it has to grow and blah, no. I did this as a gift. I wanted to share so many pausing for some water, excuse me.
Speaker 2 Ah, see self-care. I hope that you appreciate that I took a sip of water when I needed one, versus, oh, she caught what she was saying. So how is that to listen to? Guys, I really think listening is the one skill we're never taught. And when you see something's lacking, you can either complain about it, as I did for a few years, like, wow, I'm shocked, or it's like, just do something. You wish you went to listening school. Okay, why don't you start one by telling stories? So thank you for joining me on a journey of not only something I've really enjoyed, but that when I
Speaker 2 noticed kind of midway through I wasn't enjoying, I masterfully listened to one of the episodes about pivoting. At that point, it was in my soul, right? Because I know the episodes. And it worked. I had a person come back into my life that I really thought would never come back into my life. It was shocking, it was wonderful. I mean, in a way, I had healed the situation, and I chose to masterfully listen to him. And I think what could have been truly uh a very real, brutal end to a very meaningful relationship, it turned into like a beautiful FaceTime with someone who was such a
Speaker 2 big part of my life. And we had a massive falling out, and I was so confused by it, saddened by it, and then I just like was angry. I went through all the emotions and I decided you don't actually need anyone else to complete with them. I think often we're like, we need to have the completion, and sure, yes, and no, maybe not. And once you've completed something, even if they do come back, it's just like an unexpected bonus. And it was masterful listening that allowed me to genuinely want to hear what was his perspective, because we were in different universes. That's the thing. You could
Speaker 2 be in the same space with someone, but in a completely different story. Has that ever happened to you where you look back on a relationship, you're like, oh no, like we were totally together? And they're like, No, we weren't
Speaker 2 situationship. Anyway, I'm not gonna veer off feedback, but here's what I want to say again. I want to ask you a question. Do you really want to listen? Are you authentically interested? Because when that person called me, I checked in. There were so many things. Water overboard. I'm gonna pick it up with my toes. Let's see if I could do that while talking. Oh, and I just brought myself back. Yeah, there were so many things in my mind and my heart through the years that I'd like to had questions about or wanted to say, but in that moment, I was just like, what would it be
Speaker 2 like to masterfully listen right now? And then I just did and got the water. Metaphor. I got the water. Yeah, I just listened. I asked questions and I was on every word. And then I asked more questions and deeper ones, and I looked at his face, I felt his tone, and I totally just was like, wow, this shit works. Anyway, I don't even need to sell it. Here's the thing, you get it, right? Like, I think one of the reasons I was always literally the number one sales performer in any job is because I never tried to sell anything. I was just talking authentically about something
Speaker 2 I really loved. And then people just wanted it. That's how Rad Hats for Rad Human started itself. Oh, yeah, that'll be one of the episodes. All right, let's dive in because I also want my intention is to keep this one like around, let's go 33 minutes. I'm gonna just put that out there and then detach. Let it go. Uh, little quiz. Which episode was the one about delusional dreams and detachment? If you get it right, you get the prize of being a more masterful listener. How cool. Man, if someone could gift me like an ability to just be like the greatest listener in the world or
Speaker 2 like a million dollars. Which one would I really say yes to? Because it's so easy to be like, no, I wouldn't. I mean, yeah, I'd probably actually take the million dollars because then I could just like do nothing but masterfully listen and keep making podcasts. Huh? No, you get it. Listening is important. I think that's why you're here. Thank you for dedicating your time. And with that, I'm gonna teach you a formula. Okay, so simple. And as I'm teaching this formula, I'm literally trying to pull up on iTunes my own podcast so that I can literally in front of me visually see the episodes. Because when
Speaker 2 I give feedback, one of the first things I always say is be prepared. Have an intention of why you're doing this. And right now I'm gonna do this for a few reasons. Excuse me, I mentioned in the last few episodes that please pardon my coughing because, or I not even, I'm not asking for uh permission or no and acceptance. Wait, I apologized and um anyway, I'm not trying to apologize. I'm just acknowledging. It's really important to just acknowledge what is there, right? And I know that I feel like I sound a little stuffy and I'm coughing because I listen to every episode and that's what I
Speaker 2 heard. I'm also a little more critical, so I'm just being real. I always have acknowledged the thing. Like at work, if I messed up something, I would just go to my boss and be like, hey, I messed this shit up, and here's what I think I could do to fix it. Because it's like when you own it first, what then can they say? I mean, sometimes I didn't know I messed up, but usually I did. Because I was kind of paying attention. I just didn't know how to give myself feedback in a way where it could actually land, right? That's the beginning of masterful listening. Are
Speaker 2 you creating a runway where someone's plane can land? You could have the best flight. You're flying. And it's like, what if your plane can't land? What if it like gets super turbulent and then it like, have you ever fallen through an air pocket? Yeah, I have over Paris, I think. Those were the longest 10 seconds of my life. So when we're speaking and listening, imagine that metaphor again. I mentioned at the very beginning, and let's land it now. Are you listening in a way where someone's words, the airplane, can land on a runway? Are you providing them the presence like right now? Are you ready to
Speaker 2 listen to my words? Look at me if you could see me on camera. Hello, I'm waving. Hello. Oh, waving? Whoa. See what happened there? I was trying to go like this, but then I made a wave. I'm taking a little detour, a little really awesome detour. Rad, rad life. I want you to live a rad life. I feel like my life is rad. I feel like my doggy rad showed me that. Not like my life got rad. It's that my life has always been rad. It's always been a really awesome detour. I am probably the riskiest person that I know, but I'm not reckless. And I
Speaker 2 think that's a big distinction. Risky versus reckless, very, very different things. Anytime I enter the ocean, I say, Ocean, I honor you. I bow down to you. Please keep me safe. Like I am not reckless. I know the power beyond me, but I also know the power within me. And with that, I invite you to listen masterfully. And this is also a deeper lesson. So if you have a pen and paper and you want to jot down the word grow, that in itself, uh, that in itself, I think will be super powerful because I love short acronyms. They're easier to remember. I also love the word
Speaker 2 grow. And also, I just noticed that every time I cough, I feel like I'm saying something profound where it's smart to take a little pause, like grow. Hmm. Maybe not. I find it's more fun to think things are profound than completely meaningless, you know. Okay, G-R-O-W. So this is the grow formula. So I invite you to listen like you're in a class, you're in a workshop, you paid a thousand dollars. I'm gonna teach you a feedback formula that's gonna change your life. Your business skills will get better, you'll probably make more money. Probably your honey will be even sweeter because they'll be like, oh wow, you're
Speaker 2 providing me feedback in this super loving way where I feel cared for and it can land. Oh my God. Yeah, I think feedback, like masterful feedback, is like the new black. Okay, super hot. Okay. Masterful feedback. Here we go. So that's how I invite you to listen. Listen masterfully normally. Oh, hopefully, my sinuses will get less stuffed up as I talk more. And uh take some notes, write down the formula, and then we'll come back, we'll talk about how that was. So let's start with the G. Get present. Get present. What does that mean? Prepare a little bit before. Like get present on why am I
Speaker 2 even doing this? What is the intention? I always say before you give someone feedback, check in on why you're doing it. Are you doing this because you kind of want them to know that they really fucked up and you're like, but it's important? Or are you doing it because you genuinely care? Love the person, want them to succeed, love them either as like a deep relationship in your life, or like love the fact that you want them to succeed as a employee of yours. Just like, do you care? Are you giving it for the right reason? Because if that is not a yes, that's probably not
Speaker 2 the right time to do it. It's like listening to this podcast. They always say, is now a good time. If you really are not curious or feel like, this is not the time, I don't really want to listen, turn it off. I actually had one of my favorite coaching clients, this man I respect deeply, listen to a bunch of episodes. We had a coaching call and he said, Hey, do you want me to give you some feedback? I'm like, yes. And he was like, Well, this one I was listening to, I actually realized like eight minutes and like I didn't really want to listen. And so
Speaker 2 I turned it off and I'm like, great. And then I was like, Did you come back? And he's like, Yeah, I'm like, amazing. So like I'm not offended. I would always rather someone say, Hey, Svet, I can tell this is super important. I really want to listen, but I'm super distracted. Can we talk in a few hours? It's like, is it an emergency? And I'm like, yeah, totally. I
Speaker 2 really don't appreciate when people are half-assing listening. If you're my friend, if you're my colleague, I will always notice that. And so do most people. So please listen more masterfully because you can. And if you don't and you mess up like I do, I'm sorry, own it, come back. It's okay. Get present. Okay. I'm gonna get present. I'm gonna show you this formula, and then I'm gonna do it. This is what I do in my classes. I explain something and then I show you, and then I want you to practice, okay? R seriously, again, the next word, remember. I cough. Remember. What's the remember? Uh remember
Speaker 2 what actually happened and get clear. Remember and remind. Okay. This is where we always, or no, not always. I guess we sometimes, we often might even forget what happened exactly because don't forget what we think is happening, how we think we're talking or being isn't always how other people experience us. That's the whole point of masterful listening. I was told, honestly, it's not like I. I was shocked by this, but I didn't realize the impact of this. I was basically told that in groups, you know, my face is like has a mind of its own. So if I was in a like I was in a
Speaker 2 leadership program, there's 25 of us. And I gotta say, a lot of these people, all of them were incredible in their own ways. And I was drawn to more of them, and I was less drawn to some of them, which is normal. Not everyone is drawn to me, which is good. I think people are um, they feel me. I'm because I vibrate energetically super high. And here's what they said. And this was to help me. So I received it. They said, My energy is so powerful that when I walk into a room and I'm big and I'm excited, I shift the entire space. However, if I
Speaker 2 walk in and I'm like in a bad mood, I can fucking tear down an entire space and I have unintentionally unintended impact. So, first, we're gonna get there in a sec, but remember, remind what happened. Be clear about the feedback.
Speaker 2 And then own, own, own the impact. You can't own the impact though, unless you know the impact. So the impact that I was having was people were literally usually drawn to me or like terrified of me. Uh I made people uncomfortable. I think I triggered people. I think I'm probably still going to because I think that frankly, when you do more healing, when you do give feedback, when you are more direct and confident and a big presence, people somehow who are still working on those things, I don't know, they get triggered by you, but that's a chance to keep working on those things. Because I obviously
Speaker 2 still get triggered by some people for other reasons, for my own reasons. So we're all doing this. I think we do it less and less. So the point is be around people you like to be around who you feel like challenge you in good ways. That's sort of my advice on that. But we cannot shift our behaviors and be better for our communities, for example, if we don't first understand the impact. So be kind to someone you love and tell them. Because if they're not knowing what their fucking impact is, especially if other people ever talk about it, that was a hard thing for me to
Speaker 2 hear a few times uh from my community. And yet I'm so grateful. The key is how do you say it? And what do you do with it? That's the W. What now? What now? Because if you're just gonna say a bunch of shit, but it doesn't matter, like what are you gonna do differently? That's the coach in me. What now? I told you this, I got present because I care about you. Before I give feedback ever, even if it's to someone I've spoken to a million times, and one of my best friends or a colleague, or I'm teaching it, ever I say to them, hey, because
Speaker 2 I really care about you or I really love you, or fill in that for you, I want to tell you something. I want to bring something to your attention. Um, because I really think it might benefit our relationship or it might benefit you, like is now a good time. And if they say yes, which 95% of the time they do, then I proceed with the rest of grow. If they say no, which is my favorite word, great. You don't want to give someone especially critical feedback when like their kid is sick and they're already tired, right? Like checking in with my friends about um, hey, do
Speaker 2 you need the friend or the coach right now? Or hey, are you in a space where you can get some feedback? Or can you give me some affirmative feedback? I've just gotten so clear and direct, but also unattached. Because if someone says no, that's great, right? Don't take it personally, uh, unless it's an emergency. And then you're like, no, no, this is an SOS. I need five minutes. And then you know what? If you have someone in your life who loves you and I know you do, and you've made your VIP crew because you've been doing your homework, they can say, okay, cool, five minutes. But
Speaker 2 then I say, but I need you to really focus. I don't need, but I appreciate if you can. Know what I mean? So that's the formula. G-R-O-W for feedback. Get present, remember, remind, own the impact. And what now? So let me do that to my podcast, and I'm gonna do it quick. It's we're at 26 minutes. Yeah, I'm paying attention to the time a little bit. Ah wow, the first thing I saw was the trailer with the brave um photo of me standing by that bus sign. That's funny if you see that. That was that was a stranger who shot a photo of me looking exactly
Speaker 2 like Merida, brave, like my big curly hair. And I've just always thought that was a really cute photo that someone came up to me and just gave me on the streets, said this was super cute, which is something I've done for people, but it's very rare. So thank you to whoever did that. And then that's what I first remembered. So when I want to give myself feedback, first of all, I'm really present to the fact that like I want to do this so that I feel excited about what I've done. And also I want it to be the best. It could be for me, for you.
Speaker 2 And reflection is such a value of mine. Reflection versus rumination. One's like uplifting and creative, life affirming, and rumination is just like a fucking shit spiral, which I hope you've started noticing in yourself if you've been listening to Masterful Listening. Tune in, blah, blah. No, I'm not gonna do a sales pitch until the end, maybe. So first I want to see, or I want to say, wow, I updated all the covers. They used to all be one. And then at one point I was like, wait a minute, I love photos and I have all these amazing selfies. Everyone's been making fun of me my whole life.
Speaker 2 Oh, the selfie queen. But legitimately, I mean, my selfies are amazing. I know it. I've taken thousands because I was usually alone. So it was actually a very practical reason. Um and
Speaker 2 if you look at them, I just know angles. If you take a photo from above on the side, and you know your face, you always kind of look great. That's why I started a collection a few years ago where I would take them from below and like make my face really like, you know, yeah, like that. Uh please watch that clip of the video. It's great. And then I would post a side by side of like, you know, the like, mm-hmm, perfect selfie, and then the like, you know, they're both real. It's perspective. So first I want to say I do like that I updated those.
Speaker 2 I've been thinking, like, should they all be the same or blah, blah, blah. I'm not gonna shittle over myself for now. This is good. And also, you can always change it. So, first, uh, yeah, I just want to give myself this feedback because I want to remember how honestly proud I am of just this is crazy, insane, amazing, and like the best use of those words, because I actually did something I said I was gonna do. So, actually, that makes me really want to do a shout out to my amazing podcast producer, a go-go. There's so many things I could say about you, but you are
Speaker 2 truly uh A, great at what you do, and B, such a pleasure to work with. Like having fun doing things is something so important to me. And this was really fun and it was a great collaboration. I feel like we had amazing conversations, some difficult, some inspiring. So I want to also own the fact that like I freaking practiced these skills, and that was awesome. That is awesome. And I think the impact has been twofold. One, the impact has been I've really heard from honestly so many more people than I thought about how much they're loving and enjoying it. That's incredible because I haven't marketed this,
Speaker 2 like really. I shared it on social media a little bit and I uh shared it with some friends, but I didn't do like a big push because it wasn't about that. So the fact that people I haven't even spoken to in years are reaching out saying, hey, I've been listening to your podcast and I learned this or I love this. And I was like, oh my God, amazing. Thank you. So I'm happy about that. The negative impact has been at some point I did get a bit obsessed with like, oh my gosh, do I want people to see it? And how many people are gonna see
Speaker 2 it and what's gonna look good? And I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I caught it and I was like, no, that's not what this is about. And I pivoted. I found peaceful productivity and pivots. Those are the first two episodes. I remembered why masterful listening matters to me. That was the first one. I interviewed an incredible human being, Dekla. Oh, heart over matter, my dear. Thank you for bringing compassion to the Israeli health and mental health system. Oh my gosh. Yes. Lose your shit, find yourself. I mean, I've been doing that for a long time because I'm a delusional dreamer who's learned how to detach
Speaker 2 and dance. Those are the next two episodes. Do no harm. The mantra totally saved my life. So simple. And then Anya comes on the show. She was in that leadership group. She helped me learn about my ability to manifest and create and evaporate and destroy. And that when we give feedback well and we receive feedback well, we can control who we want to be, which is the only thing you can actually control. So let go of the rest. That's a little bit of stoicism from what is it, episode 10? See, I don't know the uh the correct number, but yeah, and then the singing love songs
Speaker 2 to myself, where I invite you to start singing love songs to yourself. I attached Spotify playlist. I'm so glad I made that. That was a cool episode because I put a bunch of links. Like I actually started taking it seriously more seriously at some point. And I'm like, oh, I have all these videos and workshops and playlists. Why don't I just share them? Because again, this is my gift. So that's the other thing. As I get to this final episode, the values one, I was like, I just want to share my coaching tools and wisdom. Because what now? Excuse me, the impact. And I'm still moving
Speaker 2 through growth if you're paying attention. What now is I just want to keep doing this. I'm so proud of myself. I had a vision of 13 episodes because 13 has always been my number. And I see we're at 33, 13. Um yeah, I don't know. I wanted 13 episodes, and when I decided that I was at like three, and I was not uh go, go. Uh, yeah, if you're hearing this, I was not functioning like I've been recently. I was just still at the beginning of an engagement, right? Where like I'm a great starter, but then like building that discipline and momentum. It felt like a
Speaker 2 delusional dream to get to 13, but I set that number and guess what? I did it. I'm doing it with you in this moment. This is literally it. This is it. Aw. All my loves who know my this is it mantra. This is it enterprises. I had to turn that into the corporation because this is it. I'm showing my arm, my tattoo. It this is it, guys. This is it. This is life in this moment. I am grateful to me, to Gogo. I'm grateful to Jonathan and Rafi, my two other dear friends who recorded episodes with me who were supposed to be posted now that were
Speaker 2 four hours in total, but because I hadn't prepared the tech of having a live guest and having a guest who happened to be sitting in a glass office, which I learned is not the best thing for podcast recording. They gave me their time and I couldn't get the episodes out. So what now? I have done my research, I ordered the right equipment, I'm going through, I'm updating titles, I'm looking at the content, I'm realizing that people are listening. And thank you for that. This is honestly something I usually this is my living. I'm a coach, so I make money doing this, and I want to and
Speaker 2 know I will, and am grateful in advance for all of the abundance that's coming to me for me sharing my skills and the education and and doing this work. Like as a coach, I love holding someone's hand and being their co-pilot as they're igniting the multidimensionality and brilliance of their, you know, kaleidoscope of humanity within them and then the life they can build. Holy shit. I love words, I love stories. I love doing this. So what now? I'm gonna keep doing it for me, and I'm gonna keep doing it for you as long as I know what you love. So, my invitation, please, once again, as
Speaker 2 we wrap up, we're past 33, but you know what? I always give myself a little bit of a leeway. Have a plan and then be ready to take a really awesome detour, right? Rad. Be rad. I feel rad. I feel like when I have a really awesome detour, I remind myself that a no is a yes to something better.
Speaker 3 And I hope you make your own mantras. You know I'm a fan of mantras.
Speaker 2 And I remember that I'm exactly perfectly on time. My second mantra. I'm exactly perfectly on time. So 36 minutes, 25 seconds, perfectly exactly on time. That is my feedback lesson. That is my reflection of me masterfully listening to myself speaking about masterful listening on the podcast and sharing real-time feedback showing this grow formula. I didn't plan how this was gonna go, but I knew the vision. I had a note, you know, because I always have my notes. I hope you keep taking your notes. I had a little note up on my screen. I stayed present, I got lost, and I came back. This is all a
Speaker 2 metaphor. This is an experience. This is very meta, meta, meta. I love when things are meta. And subscribe and share with everybody, okay, guys. Guys, gals, humans, all of you. I'm learning about microaggressions. I'm learning about communication. I'm gonna keep deepening my neuroscience. I freaking want to learn. Let's keep learning, okay? And the more we can learn and teach for free, let's give it out as a service and a gift, okay? Yeah. Yeah, let's do it. And let's also pay people for their expertise, for their wisdom, for their brilliance. So if you've been enjoying this recorded, you know, you can pay me to spend time with
Speaker 2 you one-on-one, and it might just change your life. Because whether it's me or another coach, invest in yourself. Find a creative way to do it. I've taken pro bono clients. That's why I charge a lot of money to the corporations, to the businesses that have it, because it's time to invest in our mental wealth. Right, guys? Our mental wealth is our health. May you be mentally wealthy. May you be peaceful and productive. May you pivot at the perfectly wrong or right time and have a really awesome detour. Uh, may you keep loving yourself and others and dancing. Dancing in this moment. Thank you for dancing in
Speaker 2 this moment with me. And uh happy, healthy, and fill in the adjective for whatever kind of 2024 you want to have. For me, I'm gonna go with super chill and super rad and peacefully abundant. Yeah, you can have as many adjectives as you want.
Speaker 1 You get to create it.
Speaker 2 See ya next year.
