Asks and Offers | Less Stress, More Fun

We’re in relationships constantly. With our families, with our careers or businesses, with ourselves. A key way to enjoy the less stress, more fun way of life is assessing times when a relationship is lopsided from either too much giving (offers) or too much taking (asks).

In this week’s podcast episode, I talk about:

• The concept of “asks” and “offers”
• Ways to detect when one of the relationships in your life is out of balance
• Practical suggestions for assessing and reacting to out of balance “asks” and “offers”

Resources mentioned:

• “The Importance of Reciprocal Relationships” (The Center for Growth)
• “Reciprocity in Relationships: 3 Types of Reciprocity” (Masterclass)
• “Honoring the Rule of Reciprocation” (Psychology Today)
• “Generous Accountability” (another lovely “Less Stress, More Fun” podcast episode)
