Three Words That Change Everything, feat. Mark Batterson (Type 3) Typology
-
- Health & Fitness
As the New York Times bestselling author of 23 books and lead pastor of National Community Church, Mark Batterson believes that the foundation of all healthy relationships and successful careers stems from our proficiency in these three words: Please. Sorry. Thanks.
All three of these words require a posture of humility. All three of these words unlock the law of reciprocity and foster connection and understanding. As Mark puts it, “to me, ‘please’ is a way of being others-focused and honoring others. It’s going against the tide of entitlement. I don’t want to operate in that way. I want to operate in a way that honors others.”
This week, Mark Batterson returns to Typology to discuss how these three powerful words impact leadership, relationships, and a healthy mindset. We also explore the distinction between self-awareness and self-consciousness, and the role self-awareness plays in allowing us to give a timely “please,” a sincere “sorry,” and a heartfelt “thanks.”
