157: Be Unoffendable: The Leadership Practice That Gives You Your Peace Back

Someone says something that doesn't sit right. Maybe it's a comment in a meeting, an email with a tone, a family member who's made you feel guilty or a client who went quiet after your proposal. You handled it and moved on, or so you thought. Then you replayed it in the car and rehearsed a better response through dinner. In this episode, I'm sharing a practice that has given me hours back in my week. Be unoffendable. When we take offense, the survival mind goes on the hunt for a threat and builds a case, and the story we tell about what the other person meant is what costs us our energy, our focus, and sometimes our best opportunities. You'll hear about the prospect who questioned my price, asked for special exceptions, and even questioned my integrity, and how choosing to be unoffendable turned her into a top referral source. I'll walk you through a five-step process for reframing perspective, and I'll explain why being unoffendable leaves your boundaries fully intact. The shift starts when you stop handing the rest of your day to whoever offended you last, and you take your peace back. Our mission is to help you become unstoppable, enabling you to do your best work of your career while enjoying more visible peace and freedom.
