🎙️ EP 3 : Why we LOVE solving for others
Listen to this Podcast
This episode is part 1 of a 2 part series on the question why we love solving problems so much. We explore some very interesting basic human tendencies that are well-meant but have less than a positive result. A perfect example of positive intent that leads to a negative impact.
Why are often so quick to tell other people what they are supposed to do?
1. We genuinely want to help! It’s instinctive.
2. It helps us rely on our knowledge and expertise; we tap into our resources and the reasons for our seniority
3. It helps us to feel valued and appreciated and accepted.
4. We feel the need to help the person in front of us right away! They need help NOW! There is no time to ask questions.
5. Giving advise keeps us in control of the conversation.
6. Solving something right away gives us a feeling of closure. No more open ends.
7. Solving right away feels fast!
Listen in to hear all that and more!
