Honesty...
Today I had to have a conversation that had to have some brutal honesty. I delivered it in a very professional and direct manner...but it still made me feel really sorry for the person I delivered it to.
I had been dreading this conversation for the last 48 hours. When I went to deliver it, it actually went a whole lot smoother than I had imagined in my head. The person was very receptive and actually appreciated my honesty. It still was a tough conversation...but I felt better for doing what needed to be done after.
I think even when you don’t necessarily like what you might be hearing...everyone for the most part appreciates honesty and the truth over either not getting the whole truth, side stepping the truth or lies.
I got a call later in the day thanking me for my honesty...which I really appreciated.
Until tomorrow...
