Why You Should Stop Saying Thanks and Start Acknowledging
It might feel a bit awkward at first, but give it a try
There have been a few podcasts that have had a profound effect on me;
- The focused, but diverse Learning Leader Show podcast by Ryan Hawk,
- The honest and emotive stories from The Moth, and
- The authentic curiosity of The School of Greatness with Lewis Howes.
I listen to the Learning Leader Show to gain insights from thought leaders and significant figures from around the world. It drives into that part of my brain that absorbs this type of information.
I listen to The Moth to understand what it is that makes a compelling story, and to refine my understanding of the power of the spoken word. I am also amazed at peoples ability to carry someone to a different place and time. This show is captivating at times, confronting at others. We listen to it as a family on some road trips (there is some adult language and concepts, so not for everyone).
And, I listen to the School of Greatness Podcast to get better at asking questions, understanding people, and pertinent to this article, understanding how to sincerely acknowledge someone.
