45. The Danger of Empty Threats (And What to do Instead)
Manage episode 411251153 series 3561149
We’ve all heard the phrase ‘You teach people how to treat you.’ But did you know that making empty threats could be reinforcing a dynamic where you're not taken seriously?
It sounds counterintuitive – we usually resort to empty threats when we’ve reached our wits' end and finally stand up for ourselves.
But what happens when we don’t follow through? We signal to others - whether it’s our kids, partner, or colleagues - that there’s no real accountability.
In this episode, I’m teaching you how to break this cycle with 3 simple skills that will help you transform conflict into a catalyst for positive change in your relationships - not a source of strife.
