Episode #33
What can I do to make you feel AWESOME?
Connect with us at QBQ! I talk a lot about asking better questions—but I loved the way my guest John Kirkman applies that idea: What can I do to help this person feel awesome? (check out https://awz.me/ for a creative way to encourage others!) John has made encouragement an intentional practice in his classroom, his family, and his community. And as we talked, I was struck by how naturally that connects to Personal Accountability. Instead of wondering what someone thinks of me, criticizing what they’re doing wrong, or waiting for someone else to change the tone, I can ask what I can do to make a difference. In this conversation, John shares what he’s learned from years of working with teenagers, how encouragement and accountability can actually strengthen each other, and a powerful story about a teenage girl who experienced his “You’re Awesome” challenge at exactly the right time. It’s a fun, heartfelt conversation about the power of our words, the questions we ask, and what can happen when we decide not to wait for someone else to go first. Thanks for joining us today!
