In July, we traveled to Rhodes, one of the Greek islands, with my son. Since everything that is different has always attracted me, different languages, different people and different lifestyles have always been good for me.
Since we stayed on the island for almost a week, we had the opportunity to get to know the Greek culture and people more closely.
The last time I received so much appreciation from my coach friends was at a coaching training, and that was because we coached each other for a week.
After the training, the most appreciation I have received in my life occurred during my visit to this island.
– Bravo!
– Bravo! word
The car I used to rent a car on the island was very unfamiliar to me. The “Rent a Car” owner said “Bravo!” to me at every stage of use while introducing the car. For a moment I thought to myself, “He must trust me more than I trust myself.”
When I make the waiter swipe my credit card to the right place while taking payment at the restaurant
- He said, “Bravo!”
When I introduced myself as a single mom to a woman I met on the beach and chatted with a lot, the woman said to me,
- He said, “Bravo!”
In every conversation I had with the owner of the hotel I stayed in, he always gave me advice on topics that I understood.
- Bravo! he responded…
“Bravo” is their expression of appreciation and they are incredibly generous in using it and they use it so often in very simple events in the flow of life that it makes one feel understood, valued and understood.
Appreciation is a tool that we use a lot in coaching, just like the Greeks, but we crown it by doing it appropriately, sincerely and to the essence of the client.
While encouraging and emboldening the client, it also reminds him of his strengths and values, thus creating a great space for understanding and being understood.
Bravo!
Appreciate yourself! You took the time to read this article to find something about yourself, for your own development.
