DD1 sent me this link to listen to the podcast about a great leadership approach and its impact. I found that Kat Cole is so succinct in her use of words.
She has a wonderful approach to people that I generally agree with. Thought you might enjoy some upbeat info about relationships.

"I really believe humans are mostly magic and that we are all just unfinished magic and we’re more likely to be the fullest extent of our magic if other people see us that way first. And I’ve learned that when I see people for their potential and their possibilities, that they seem to live up to that more quickly than when they interact with others.... So the upside of believing in people is so high and, not but, and some will let us down. And the frequency that I’m let down is so low compared to the frequency that I’m proven right in people’s potential. And so it just feels like this tax, it’s like a single-digit percentage tax that is a small price to pay for getting all the upside that comes from looking at people as the great things that they are and the possibilities that they have in front of them."

My dog thinks I am magic, that’s for sure.

Studies have shown that when kids are treated that way by their teachers they live up to the expectations. Unfortunately, it can also work in the opposite direction.
