No one has ever won an argument or made things better by telling the other person…
‘It’s not a big deal’
I’ve tried. You’ve tried. We’ve all tried.
Only to find that expressing the size of the deal doesn’t matter.
If someone brings up an issue, it probably matters to them. It’s probably a big deal to them and trying to convince them otherwise isn’t helpful.
We need to be willing to listen past what we think is the size of the deal and respond in a way that is more caring and thoughtful.
It’s a big deal.
