My Bill of Rights

Following is a list of my non-negotiable Bill of Rights. These are the essential things you need to know about me if you are in my life, and this goes for clients, friends, family members and even people I barely know.

1. I value the truth. I vow to always tell the truth to the best 

     of my ability and expect the same from you.

     That includes telling me if I have toilet paper stuck 

      to the back of my shoe or if I have spinach in my teeth.

2. I value promptness. I will make every effort to show 

    up on time, whether it is to a coaching call or to 

     meet you, I hate waiting and I don't enjoy 

     making you wait. 

     I would appreciate the same from you.

3. I value meaningful and kind interactions. 

     This precludes speaking badly about people 

      behind their backs. If I have something to say to you, 

     I will make every effort to say it kindly to your face, 

     even if it is difficult. I expect the same from you.

4. I want to be appreciated for what I do for you. 

    That includes saying please and thank you and doing 

    random acts of kindness. I will make every effort to 

    be grateful and kind to you.

5. I need to trust that you will be there for me in a crisis. 

    I will be there for you. 

    That includes making food for you, giving you shelter, 

    taking care of your kids, lending you money, etc. 

6. I value sincere apologies. If I do something wrong, 

    I will apologize and have a productive conversation 

    with you about future wrongdoings. 

    If you do something wrong, I would appreciate the same.

7. I value being valued. To be loved for being me, 

    not for someone you wish I would be. 

    Right back at you.

8. I hate being yelled at and reprimanded. 

    Nothing good comes from 

    shaming me or anyone else. 

    In return, I won't yell at you.
