Yogi Patel: In your opinion, what are some key takeaways and action steps our listeners can implement after learning about various tools that you spoke about? Doing a consultation using the basis A, I think offers people the chance to to really understand this is who I am in a comprehensive, holistic way. This is what I bring to the table. This is and again, most importantly, this is how I use the things. So I know in our in our last podcast together, I I used the metaphor of playing cards, right? So if we think about you know, each of our traits or ways of moving through the world as a playing card. You get to decide how you play them, when you play them, how long you hold on to something. And so when we think about strengths and and traits and and really looking at am I working and using my traits in optimal ways, ways that support me being holistic, ways that support the contributions that I'm striving to make in my workplace and my relationships and in my community. Then doing B CSA consultation is one of the great ways to really get that information and very easy to understand format. Some other strategies and things like that for people in leadership positions is to really think about the fact that all of us have a unique thumbprint. And when I'm interacting with another person, they're bringing into that interaction their beliefs, their perceptions, their experiences. And so if I can stay curious and also kind of notice how am I feeling. in this interaction, then it can help you identify what's the purposefulness of this other person's behavior and and how they're approaching this situation, how we're interacting together right now. What is my purposefulness in this interaction? You're bringing your stuff, other people are bringing their, their stuff, their baggage into situations. Then we can sidestep it. We can set it down and be like, okay, to handle things this way, it makes sense to you. Tell me more about that. How did that come to be for you? It gives you a brief glimpse into why somebody is doing the things that they're doing. And so if we know each of us is doing something because it makes sense to us, then it's like, tell me more about that. I want to know why. Another funny analogy I use is you you want to put one sock on and one shoe on and then be barefoot on the other side for some reason. Like that doesn't make sense to me. How does that make sense to you versus doing one sock and one sock and one shoe and then the other shoe. Funny things like that can can really make us, I think, stop and stay curious and wonder, okay. This person is is coming at this from a from a place that makes perfect sense to them. Totally doesn't make sense to me, but I'm willing to be curious about it. I think that's important for leaders and and managers to be curious. And then I think the other thing is just really recognizing the purposefulness of behavior. Why am I approaching it this way? Am I feeling that sense of belonging or am I not feeling it? And that's why I'm using this trait in this way. Susan, this was a lovely conversations for anyone listening in any position. Because we talked about so many different things. And Dr. Susan Balanci, it's really a pleasure always to speak with you. And yeah. And I wanted to also share that maybe we as leaders, it's a challenge for you. Find time to reflect on our behaviors to others and understanding others' behavior. Because if you were anything like me, we fill our days with tasks, we take work home and in our busyness we forget the human connection and through connection and having a workplace. That is harmonious, as similar to our home place. What an amazing world this would be. Amen to that for sure. Yeah. The the more we all can pay attention to, am I helping to create spaces of belonging for others or am I taking spaces away? So I think if we can be on the side of creating space for others, then I think we'll we'll all feel a little bit a little bit stronger, a little bit more confident, a little bit more capable. Absolutely. Hopefully we are teaching this to our children. so they have a better future. Thank you again and look forward to hearing from you again, Susan, and for another podcast on encouragement.
