Reality Check/Straight Talk

Pay it
Forward

25 value - Virtual OK - Posted Mar 27, 2018

Sometimes you need somebody to tell you what they really think of something, no holds barred.

Particularly in work, family & relationships, many of us are conflict avoidant or are in high context cultural environments where no one is ever supposed to say what they really think directly.

I've seen this kind of frankness help people shift their reality in heart circles, recovery groups & other workshops.

I will do my best to be frank but gentle. And can help you try to come up with other solutions to your problem using strategic questioning & appreciative inquiry techniques.

If you need some straight talk about an urgent or intense topic from a disinterested party, give me a shout. Hopefully an outside perspective will give you a breath of fresh air and we can come up with some new avenues of transformation for you to explore and move forward.

Training & Qualifications


I was raised in a low context cultural environment which valued straight talk, honesty, and directness. I am the youngest child which made me a truth teller. I have supervised hundreds of employees in diverse contexts & sectors at multiple levels.

See the tone is his review versus mine? His message: “sorry again, I need more than a couple hours notice if you want to schedule tomorrow or after.... i 'm no longer available this afternoon. this have been overly comp,licated but we should be able to make it work. thanks marty” I followed directions and I did send my resume. After his message, I went to check and my resume was uploaded but didnt send and he never said anything until his review so kinda catty. So based on his review, he seems mean hearted- do not recommend.show more

He has a online calendar that said he was available but cancelled 3 times on me 😢. Never got to meet up with him. I have a tight schedule so when I s...chedule a time and he cancels it’s a huge inconvenience to me. But it’s okay! Hopefully it works out for someone else. I will keep looking for the well needed support. show more
