Helpful Ways To...

Give Advice
Have you ever been approached by someone you know whohas asked you for advice about a situation they can't seem to figure out? Sometimes, we don't know how to give advice to those people because we either don't know or we're not sure of the best course of action ourselves. However, in this edition of "Helpful Ways To..", I'll be giving you tips to give advice that can work in any situation.

After hearing the issue that the person seeking advice has come to you with, it could be beneficial to talk through the options with them and let them decide which one would be best for them in the situation. This also lets the seeker know that there is more than one choice they can make and doesn't make them feel pressured into making one decision.

Expressing confidence in the seekers choice in the matter is also a helpful way to give advice. Not only does this offer emotional support to the seeker, it offers them trust in themselves about the decision that is made. This may also be helpful in addition to the advice given.

That concludes this edition of “Helpful Ways To. . .”! I’ll see you all next time! Have a wonderful day!
