A conversation with Michael Reddington on I See What You're Saying (The Disciplined Listening Podcast) about the part of caregiving most families put off, and how the same dynamics show up in sales and leadership.
Also available on Amazon Music or Apple Podcasts in its own window.
Cory joined Michael Reddington on I See What You're Saying for a conversation about the part of caregiving most families put off: knowing when a loved one needs more help, and how to talk about it before a crisis forces the moment. The conversation moves between family caregiving and the parallels in sales and leadership.
Key takeaways
- Waiting is not wisdom; the earlier a family looks at what is available, the better the eventual decision.
- How families compensate and make excuses until a fall forces a 72-hour decision.
- Having a conversation is not the same as making a decision; it just opens the door.
- Expressing love through preparation, and why the foundation matters more than the folder.
- The When Readiness Checklist as a way to assess where a family stands.
