To help, the Australian success coach, Lisa Stephenson, has shared her six strategies for success with people – whether professionally, socially or within your own family.
‘The most successful and happy people find healthy ways to work with those they wouldn’t choose to have in their life – professionally, socially and within their own family,’ Lisa told FEMAIL.

1. Be the grown up
The first tactic the success coach said you need to adopt is that you should be the adult.
‘People can’t make you feel a certain way. You get to choose what you think, which determines how you feel,’ Lisa told FEMAIL.
get to の使い方はここを参考にしてください。
‘Consciously choose the meaning you are giving the situation and the person. Rise above the child-like behaviours and identify a solution, which might be as simple as removing yourself from the situation.’

2. Respect (almost) everyone
‘Find what you can appreciate about the person,’ Lisa advised.
‘Don’t focus on the negatives and what they are doing wrong. Deliberately start positive conversations about topics you can both contribute to.’
The most important thing with this tip, she said, is to separate the person from their behaviour that you might not like.
Controversially, she added, we can, in fact, respect those we don’t like.

3. Pick your battles
While sometimes there are arguments that are worth having in the workplace or at home, the success coach said you need to learn to choose your battles.
‘If something that you highly value has been wronged, then constructively find a way to share your view and speak your truth,’ she said.
On the other hand, there might be something you don’t care about as much, and which might be better left alone.
To value (verb)

If you don’t have anything constructive to say, it’s better to say nothing.
He has played a valuable and constructive role in the project.
She was my most constructive critic.
4. Choose to be kind instead of right
As adults, we often struggle to come to terms with the fact that we’re not always right.
But Lisa said this is our ego talking, and successful people keep this in check.
‘There are occasions in life when showing compassion, empathy, and flex in your own thinking is so much more important than proving you know better,’ she said.
It’s worth giving a try the next time you feel as though you want to scream at someone.

5. Be strategic
A good workplace attitude is so often about being strategic.
But it’s not only your workload you need to be tactical with, but the people within your office.
‘Consider the outcome you want and do what’s required to achieve that,‘ Lisa said.
‘Perhaps this will require you to compromise or let go of something in order to get there.’

6. You are not that important
Lastly, the success coach said you need to realise that the world doesn’t revolve around you, even if you might think it does.
‘Acknowledge that sometimes you might be wrong,’ she said. ‘Everybody you meet and know is in the middle of their own story.’
Of course, you might think ‘if everyone was just like me, the world would be amazing’, but this isn’t always the case.
‘Being able to have healthy and respectful conversations and interactions with all types of people is a valuable skill,’ Lisa said.
‘Appreciating behavioural styles and thinking that’s different to your own could, in fact, give you new perspectives.’
