Most of the time people don’t want advice. They want someone to listen or bounce ideas off of. They don’t need another person to save them. They need to be reassured that they have the power to save themselves.

200,000 years ago one Early human said to the other "I think we should move our shelter in that direction closer to the fruit trees we eat.. " the other said "that's a bad idea, the predators always walk in that area.. we should deal with the minor inconvenience of walking over there, or even find other fruit trees.." That's the history of human conversation. One person says something, the other agrees, disagrees, says their experience, etc. Who knows what game changing information you might hear.. grow a pair.. In academia you want to absorb as many perspectives and data as possible to form your own views. Other people may have good reasons.. Grow a pair.. being a real friend is about sometimes speaking hard truths sometimes..

I decided to stop giving advise a long time ago, mostly because no one took it and got them selves in deeper water despite all my time and effort. But what I found amazing was that my relationships improved so much after I stopped advising and directing the people in my life and started listening. Suddenly I felt the weight taken off my shoulders- their well being was no longer my problem and I could just focus on enjoying my time with them. And they started sharing much more openly and honestly. If only I could have had such a succinct way of explaining that phenomenon way back then. Great talk!

As usual, Michael brilliantly combined his subject matter expertise with his some facilitation talent to make everyone internalize what he was trying to get across. Thank you for a great presentation and for continuing to keep us all in the habit of staying curious a little bit longer.

Very very helpful! I know I also spend a lot of energy trying to solve everyone's problems, too. And now I have some tools to help them find their own answers. Many thanks for this talk.

I get where you're coming from, but I feel like sometimes advice is exactly what's needed, especially when someone is genuinely lost and looking for guidance. Not all advice-giving is counterproductive.

3:37- Yes!! I am guilty of assuming that the elements of a situation that I would consider challenging aren’t necessarily what the other person would see as the challenge. I have learnt to wait till the end…I wish I had seen this talk 10 years ago! Would have saved me a lot of trial and error.

and now more than ever we need to be able to give each other a space to vent and be heard... like Miachel said, we need to know we can do it ourselves, the sense of competence and confidence... but we still need our support networks

Wow! This hit home! I have all 3 advice monsters, saver was my biggest! Giving advice really is a waste of time, people aren’t going to take it, they are going to do what they are going to do.

Thank you. Totally needed to hear this. My advice monster is strong (like the force) I am definitley ‘tell it ‘ and need to not :) and will stay curious longer and use these questions as much as I can. New habits :)

We all do it! What a great talk, I think every single person who watches it will be able to relate and hopefully will use these helpful hacks to not be such a knowitall!

I hope so. I've found that if you interact with other human beings, the Advice Monster can show up!
