Sheila Wilkinson - A Conversation About Expectations

Sheila is back!  Sheila Wilkinson, a seasoned coach, author, and licensed clinical social worker, dives deep into the psychological and social dynamics of expectations. Sheila and Jason unpack the impacts these invisible forces have on our personal and professional lives.

"When we expect of others what we expect of ourselves, we will always find pain."

  2. Communicating Expectations: Learn the importance of explicitly communicating your expectations to prevent misunderstandings and foster healthier relationships.

  3. Self-Reflection on Expectations: Gain insights into how reflecting on your expectations can lead to personal growth and improved mental health.
