Episode 822 of the Final Season: They Don’t Believe You
#knowTroy #DWUpodcast #behavior
I work with high and middle school students and often they tell me adults don’t believe them. In some cases, the student has done a bad thing yesterday and now made up their mind that today, and tomorrow, they have changed.
This statement of their truth can sometimes come with an apology. It’s at that time that I tell them, “Don’t apologize. Show me the change through your behavior.” Changing behavior can be an extremely difficult task, especially without a compelling event.
When experiencing change there are two drivers that spark the change: fear of loss or desire for gain. Most of the time it is the fear of loss that results in lasting change.
If you are in a situation where they don’t believe you, stop talking and start changing by using whatever compelling event you can find that results in a loss.
