Let's Dig In.
Have you ever intended to compliment someone, but they did not take what you said as a compliment? Our words and actions can have a negative impact on others even if we have the best intentions. In this course, you'll learn the difference between intent and impact, and you'll find new ways to shift your focus to the impact you have on others rather than on your intentions. Recognizing these moments and responding intentionally can help build an environment that broadens understanding, promotes positivity, and creates a more well-functioning community. By completing this GEM, you will be able to:
-
Identify the difference between intent and impact.
-
Determine where the impact may have been different from your intentions in past experiences.
-
Develop skills you can apply to future situations where your intent may not align with your impact.
-
Add an exclusive credential to LinkedIn and other platforms.
