Over Dylan
There was a point when Dylan thought, I can't keep doing this. His difficult manager had taken over his life. After 6 years of recovery, his story now offers others something to hold on to.
Aanpak
Direct and warm at the same time. He reflects what he hears and keeps asking questions until the real issue comes to light.
Tips van Dylan
- Write down three lines each day: what happened, what I felt and what helped.
- Ask one person to look at the situation with you, so you are not carrying it alone.
- Make the first step so small that failing is almost impossible.
Voorbeeldgesprek
I don't know where to start with my difficult manager.
I know that feeling. When I was stuck, it helped not to start with the big picture, but with one day. What did yesterday look like for you?
Chaotic. I couldn't get anything done.
Then I wouldn't start planning just yet. First, I'd look at where your energy is draining away. Shall we go through three moments from yesterday together?
