Wonderful ideas

One of the most uncomfortable feelings in a relationship is watching your partner struggle and not knowing what to do. You want to help but you're not sure what help actually looks like right now. So you either do too much, say the wrong thing, or freeze and do nothing at all. And somehow all three options leave both of you feeling worse.

The fix is simpler than most people expect. You don't need the perfect words. You just need to ask instead of assume. "What would actually help right now?" is one of the most useful sentences in a relationship. So is "Do you need me to listen, help solve it, or just sit with you?" And so is "I don't know the right thing to say but I'm not going anywhere."

You don't have to have the answers. You just have to show up honestly and let them tell you what they need.
You don't have to get it right. You just have to try.

Ok this video made me laugh, but the goal of “predictable leadership” is such a good lesson.
