What’s your gossip culture?
To gossip is part of human nature – it’s how we connect, bond, and relate with others.
However, we gossip for two reasons: to build others up with kindness or break them down with cruelty. So, what’s your gossip culture?
To create a kinder gossiping culture, here are two questions to reflect on before you next gossip:
Is what I’m about to say of any value or benefit to the person I’m talking with or about? If not, don’t say it.
Would I be prepared to say to them what I’m about to say of them? If not, don’t say it.
COMMITMENT
When you are next with your team, talk about the gossip culture. Then commit to only ever gossip with kindness. See what happens.
May you flourish.
