[quote=Anonymous]My dad - RIP - was the master of subtle coaching. He would say stuff to me and my brothers/sisters - out of the blue that was at first take random- but it was actually way to address things he saw going on without putting me or my sibs on the spot. All five kids remember this from our childhood. He was the master of giving great advice without calling situations out. Stuff like - if you don’t like a situation, it’s okay to speak up/walk away/ask what’s going on. “A coach can’t read minds- if you want a position, if you don’t know the rule- let them know”. “You can’t know why somebody is mean but it probably has nothing to do with you”. Anyway - highly recommend this indirect approach. I’m not doing it justice. He taught us so much without making it about us. [/quote]
