Leadership Communication Coaching
Angie Flynn-McIver
For several years, I sent out a blog to readers a few times a week. These posts gave pointers about how to practice, shared relevant stories, and provided a way for people to connect with my coaching approach. In 2022, I wrote my book, Before You Say Anything, which brought many of these ideas together in one place. The blog posts have continued to resonate with clients and readers, and they're useful as a quick reminder, so I'm including them here!
“I’ll take care of that next time.”
“I’ll work on it next time.”
“I’ll make sure that happens next time.”
When we do something and learn from it, knowing we can improve when we do it again, that’s a great use of “next time.”
But when we already know we could do better and we don’t, putting the improvement off until another day, that’s not such a great use of “next time.” It sounds a little like, “I won’t take care of that now, even though I could.”
How does “next time” show up for you?
