Strong Counsel from Strong Council?

Seeking advice from those we trust is a great way to consider alternative perspectives to our experiences and internal dialogue. However, who is in the COUNCIL that we seek COUNSEL from can have a great impact on the outcome of that advice. Below are some questions to consider:

-Who do you seek advice from (who is your council?)?

-How do you pick those people?

-What awareness do you have of their values, biases, beliefs, judgments, and experiences…and the alignments of these with your own?

-How many different people do you seek counsel from? Do you change these people as your life changes?

-How do you decide what advice to follow? How might your responses to these questions be impacting your life and the choices you make?

-Are you best served with a wide circle of counsel or small?

My personal beliefs:

-I keep a very small council.

-I seek alignment in value from those in my council.

-I am selective about what I share and to whom.

-I aim never to follow counsel blindly. I check in to make sure the advice resonates with me.

-I remember that, ultimately, I am responsible for the consequences of my actions.
