Have you ever experienced an encounter with someone that you didn't want to see and you didn't know what to say or how to respond? (Or wish you'd had better responses in your back pocket?!) This is for you!

Perhaps you've removed that narcissist or toxic person from your life for good reason and you've done everything you can to avoid an encounter, but you've found yourself in the same place at the same time.

Or how about that person that says insulting, passive-agressive or offensive things or asks inappropriate questions -- or the person that just won't stop talking about politics?

This HOW TO GUIDE is FREE and gives you tons of options of how to respond in uncomfortable situations. You'll get tips on things to say, manage your body language and options to exit these scenarios. DOWNLOAD it now, refer back to it often, and practice to keep it fresh.

Maybe you've had a situation where you left thinking, "UGH, I wish I would have said something different." or "I wish I would have known something better to say." or "I sure wish I had a HOW TO GUIDE on this!"

This FREE DOWNLOADABLE is for you!

Kyle Robinson is our inspiring guest this week! He shares his journey of growing up with an abusive step-father, a troubled childhood littered with hanging out with the wrong crowd and making bad decisions. At 17, he entered drug rehab and then got a DUI in college. Throughout many setbacks, he started to see glimmers of his potential. Ultimately, he overcame all of this adversity and persevered to become a licensed attorney and an ultra marathoner.

Do you have some memorable advice you've been given? It could be the best advice or the worst advice -- drop yours in the comments!

We've all encountered people that love to give their opinion or advice. And often this is unsolicited. Sometimes people give unsolicited advice as a projection from their own experiences.

This ties into a recent episode on 5 things we do that hold us back -- which is dimming ourselves to make other people comfortable. And don't let others tamper your dreams either, even if it feels like a risk. We have to take risks, sometimes calculated ones, in order to grow. Take it from Oprah!

Resource: Oprah on taking risks

Regardless of getting good or bad advice, we can always use them as lessons.
