Behind Those Harsh Words

Trip to KL with a few of my team. I was being aware of keeping my energy as high as possible as I know I affect my environment. Energy is contagious.

Great real life example from this trip was when my staff encountered her counterpart in the Malaysia office, and for no reason, she was snapped at and spoken to very harshly. We always think we know someone but really we don't even know what's behind their smile.

My staff took the words to heart and was left dazed and confused, almost in tears. One of the great things about CV was the alignment in sharing. I started it, knowing something was up, and another one of the great things about the CV journey was I knew exactly what to say to advice my staff.

And I used the CV language, she got it straight away even though she probably couldn't fully grasp the meanings, but she got it.

Another great thing about being in this journey for long was that I could guess what had happened. Her counterpart was probably in a bad mood, being pressured was probably a normalcy in a company that big. Plus they don't have the kind of support system we have, or the kind of self-understanding we have gone through.

True enough, that person called up my staff the very next morning to apologise many times, all due to stress at work. I just hope that my staff could understand from this whole experience, about herself and about negative energy and negative situations. And that negativity inflicted by others are not about one self. We just have to not take things personally.

My intention for today is to keep my energy up because of a restless night. I will not let that affect me which will in turn affect my own environment. I am my environment. I am a creator. I am my authentic self.
