This episode is a follow-up to a story I shared recently about a broken agreement with someone I’ve known and trusted for years.
But what stood out most in the aftermath wasn’t just what they did—it was what I could have done differently.
In reflection, I realized that part of the problem was how the agreement was made in the first place.
It reminded me of something I’ve taught for years: expectations are not the same as agreements, and when we confuse the two, we set ourselves and others up for failure.
In this episode, I dive into that lesson and share how I’ve started applying SMART agreements.
Listen now to learn how you can avoid the disappointment and frustration of agreements not kept!
🎧 Included is the link to one of my favorite recordings: Expectations vs. Agreements. It’s a simple but powerful message I keep coming back to time and again that has helped me have better relationships with EVERYONE in my life.
