Are you able to hold the space?
Sometimes in business, we don’t know what to do when one of our co-workers speaks or acts outside of the norm. We interpret her/his behavior or energy through our own lens. Rarely do we have the complete story. Often, we forget that we have our own communication styles. Some of us are external communicators, while others are internal communicators. We each see the world through our own lens, and we process the world through our own filter. If we can hold the space for co-workers and direct reports to be who they are, without judgment, we may open up new potential and greater insight, which can only be an asset to our business and our ROI.
