60 You Teach People How to Treat You

Did you know that you teach people how to treat you?

This was a hard lesson for me to learn both personally and professionally. I once asked a mentally and emotionally abusive boyfriend why he treated me the way he did. His response was…

“Because you let me.”


Imagine the surprised look on my face, but he was right. If I wanted the behavior to stop, I had to stand my ground and be willing to walk away.


While this lesson started as an eye-opening experience in personal relationships, it eventually became an integral part of my coaching practice for women, particularly Black women in corporate America.


See you on the inside…
