Do you give when asked?
If a person asks you for money, do you give?
My friend asked me this question, and had to admit that normally I don't. I thought that was normal, so only felt a little guilty in my response.
Sometimes, however, I'll give generously. I explained to my friend that sometimes I'm asked for change, and I'll give $20 or $50 at a time.
It makes me feel good every time I do it.
The conversation ended there, but my behavior stuck with me.
I'm not sure that's what I should be aiming for when interacting with someone less fortunate than myself. In that situation, why is my feeling good a measure of success?

Executive Coaching for Entrepreneurs
There’s a reason every elite athlete in the world works with a coach. You need more than one perspective to see your best work.
I’m an executive coach and the founder of Inside-Out Leadership, a boutique leadership development agency that supports entrepreneurs to step fully into their lives, and transform their companies into their masterpieces.
Leveraging 15-years as a founder/CEO, along with deep training in mindfulness, psychology, Neurolinguistic Programming, psychedelic integration and more, I have helped leaders from some of the fastest growing companies and VC funds in the world design a more conscious life and make key changes to improve their performance and satisfaction.
I coach leaders how I want to be coached:
Focused on the person, not the role.
Focused on results, without the fluff.
