I can see the undeniable value of making the shift you're describing, but It would take me some practice to get out of the old habit. You have a knack for offering powerful distinctions [S], and you've done it again and again in your newsletters [A]. Clearly you are very optimistic about human potential [V], because you keep making the effort to lift us all up so we can be our best. [E]
Thanks Eric for sharing your 'make you stop and think' insights [S]. Seconding Rick and Silvio — it's not a helpful (cultural) approach, but one that's quick and communicates some acknowledgement, even if it's brief. Will defo take on the challenge :)
Rick comment above is so well thought out that I have to second it entirely. I wouldn’t know how to say it better. I found this very interesting, Eric. And eye-opening. Thank you. (I’d go ahead praising you but I don’t want to be so pathetic lol). :)
Ah, Silvio. I appreciate you for saying this. I'm pleased it opened your eyes. When I came across it as I learned about coaching psychology, it was one of those "OMG" moments.
Rick has a knack for bringing his dry sense of humour to his writing, so I third his comment, as well!
Another brilliant thought-provoking essay. You have a knack of making me stop and ponder about your writing. There are very few writers online that make me do that regularly. Your newsletter is quickly becoming one of my favourites.

Your comment Rick has made me smile many times this morning! I feel SAVE-d 😎
