Episode 30: Stop complaining... It's like stirring muddy water
Description
Complaining feels good. We all get tempted to do it, because it can make us feel seen and validate feelings of frustration, but it rarely gets us anywhere.
Whether it's about traffic, the weather, tech issues or company culture, complaining may feel like taking action, but this act alone won't move us forward, and instead causes us to get stuck in a loop where nothing changes.
The energy you bring to your life and leadership sets the tone with others. Lead with complaint, and you invite more of it, which is draining for you and those around you. Next time you feel like complaining, explore what is beneath it instead. Is a boundary being crossed or a need not being met?
Join Tom in this episode of Tom's Life Lab to find out how to shift a complaint into positive change.
