Ever been in a situation where you're totally in the dark and it just makes everything worse? Turns out, what makes uncertainty feel truly scary isn't the unknown itself, but when it's brushed under the rug! A brilliant psychologist suggests a simple 3-step approach for anyone trying to guide others (kids, colleagues, anyone!). First, clearly state what IS known. Then, openly admit what ISN'T known – no pretending you have all the answers! Finally, anchor back to something solid and reassuring you DO know. This honest approach helps everyone feel more at ease, even when outcomes are out of our hands. Think about it: 'You've practiced hard, you want this team, there are other good kids. I don't know if you'll make it. But I do know we'll get through it together.' Powerful, right? Imagine applying this at work during big changes! 💡 #psychology #parenting #leadership https://www.cnbc.com/2026/06/21/use-a-3… 🔗
