I'm a BIG believer when you identify you core 5 to 10 confidante type true friends in either your business or personal life touching them ALOT with your communication. Communication NEEDS to be a two way street to be effective and if they don't reciprocate eventually they should seriously not be considered one of those rare confidantes in life. It is their problem if they go away, not yours, as you wanted them to stay. But....
Have You Told Your Friends About Their Blind Spots?
This is an invaluable mirror back to your friends of things they just are not self aware about themselves. Like their incessant fidgeting, always playing the role of the doormat or DIVA, talking over people, talking too loud, how about body odor problems? Someone has to speak plainly too them, and WHO other than a great friend? THE TRUTH hurts sometimes but a good friend or confidante WILL ALWAYS give it to you straight!!
Likewise, have you learned of blind spots of your own, close others have told you about?? Did you take the necessary steps to address them?
