Day 3: Deferential disagreement
Today, don't argue with your person. Unless it is something that is life-or-business-altering, defer to them instead. (Yes, we know that can be difficult!) Politely and positively let them know that although you disagree, you're fine with doing it their way. ("Although my personal preference is to log the students' science fair projects this other way, I know you've thought this through so let's give your way a try.")
Coach's Corner: Simple disagreement is not the same thing as negativity. But all too often we are in fact negative without realizing it. What is your unrealized negativity pattern? Regular arguing? Exasperation? Something else? See Chapter 6 in The Kindness Challenge for the seven different types of negativity.
