Episode 34. How you treat people
Welcome to another episode of S*%! People Say! Today, we’re talking about what you can learn about someone from the way they treat others.
I really hate it when people treat others poorly because they think someone is beneath them… And it’s almost worse when people treat someone better than others because they think that person has some power over their situation. In personal and professional relationships, it’s important to remember that how you treat one person is how you treat everyone.
We all have examples of people who have shown us their true colors, and in this episode, I share two recent stories about what I’ve learned from the way people have treated me and my team.
Episode highlights
00:41 - I think we have the tendency to give people a pass when they treat one person poorly but treat other people well.
03:04 - In every business deal, there has to be a baseline of being respectful and kind.
04:01 - Pay attention to anyone who treats power differently than they treat others—they’re going to be a pain in the butt to work with.
04:54 - People who are kind to everyone are kind to everyone. People who are unkind, even if it’s to someone else, are likely to display that behavior towards you.
