You’re Not Broken

It’s not unusual for clients to call me and after giving me a run down on their issues asking “Can you fix me?” My usual response is: “No, because you’re not broken” It may sound like I’m being glib and not listening to the person talking to me, but it’s neither.

This actually gives me an insight into how they will view themselves and their achievements…

Which of these activities would you prefer to do? I’m not going to tell you what they are just the net effects and you can decide from there. And no looking at the photo on the left because that kind of gives the game away. I’m not good with building up suspense. Activity #1 – Can cause sleeplessness and…
