COT: Men typically do not get their feelings hurt often, and when they do it’s most likely by someone you love or respect…because you have to care what they think in order for their thoughts to be valuable enough to “hurt” you. Your first response to hurt is likely to be anger or defensive. I challenged myself and the men to try and calmly process the situation and be introspective to see if there is something you need to learn. If someone important to you has something to say you do not like, then the leader must take that information and do something positive with it. It’s hard in the moment to do it, but I think it’s one way we can grow. Gave an example from my life recently.
