Meet People Where They’re At

Connecting in a way that’s effective for them.

“Meeting people where they are is about giving others what they need, when they need it.” — Tom Epperson

It’s a hard lesson to learn if you’re on any sort of path that involves trying to help other people.

Sometimes you want the other person to heal/grow/learn/advance more than they want it for themselves.

Teachers see it with students, doctors see it with patients, parents see it with children, and friends see it with friends.

If we’re really in the vocation of serving others, we have to learn to meet them where they’re at.

I had to learn this as a chiropractor, and I still have to remind myself of it today as a coach and transformation consultant.

Sometimes people are ready to change and sometimes they aren’t. Some people are willing to take one or two baby steps and others are ready to jump in full force.

There are stages of change, and people don’t jump from step A to step Z.
