60: What we expect from others

The Highly-Sensitive Leader Podcast

Join me this week as I discuss how we as highly sensitive leaders sometimes set expectations for others to behave in a certain way to match our sensitive experience of the world. I show you how these expectations can hinder our wellbeing and performance.
Part of the reason why we get overwhelmed is because we are not taking responsibility for our own emotions and are relying on other people to give us safety, reassurance and a sense of belonging.
I show you what are the things we expect from others and how we do this to protect ourselves and to have control on how much we get upset and hurt. I teach you how this approach of setting expectations on others has in fact the opposite effect and keeps us in disappointment and friction with the world.
I teach you 4 strategies to reframe your expectations, re-align and learn from the non-sensitive world. I show you how much we have to learn from the non-sensitive world, as much as they have a lot to learn from us. I encourage a compassionate and skilful collaboration rather than constant friction and shares practical tips to achieve this.
