When someone comes to you with a problem, what do you instinctively give them?
A solution? A strategy?
Or simply a listening ear?
Sometimes people don’t want us to fix anything. They just want to feel heard.
Try asking: “Do you want empathy right now, or strategy?”
It could completely change the conversation.
