The wisdom in your experience becomes more available when you stop presenting it as the only way.

LEADERSHIP

WHAT THIS MEANS

Experience earns the right to be heard and loses it in the delivery. Presented as the single correct route, it invites resistance, and the listener spends their attention defending their own situation instead of taking what is useful. The same knowledge offered as one account among several gets tried out.

Tell the next younger or newer person what happened to you rather than what they should do. Add the conditions that made it work for you. Then say plainly that their circumstances may call for something else, and mean it.
