O'talkin' with Dave
Join Dave for positive and humorous insights into increasing your personal productivity, where he blends the art of storytelling, humor, and clever analogies to make the pursuit of productivity an enjoyable experience.
Each episode is approximately an hour-long casserole of laughter and learning, as we navigate the world of to-do lists, time management, and conflict management, and taking out the mental trash with a jovial twist.
O'talkin' with Dave
BARKING DUCKS
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have you ever found yourself disturbed by someone's behavior when it is absolutely predictable and expected? Yeah, me too...
There’s a strange little trap we fall into as human beings. We get frustrated, angry, jealous, hurt, disappointed, or even depressed by the behavior of people who are completely predictable.
They do the same thing. They say the same things. They react the same way. Over and over again. And yet somehow, we are shocked every single time.
Join Dave for some PREDICTABLE talk about:
- Why Some People Trigger Us and Others Don’t
- People Most Susceptible to the “Barking Duck” Trap
- People Who Weaponize Predictable Behavior
- Why We Put Up With It
- The Barking Duck Realization
- Five steps to start today
Life becomes a lot lighter when we stop expecting impossible things.
Dogs bark. Ducks quack. Some people behave exactly the same way every time.
Peace doesn’t come from changing the duck. Peace comes from changing your expectations and your response.
Once you understand that, you stop waiting for barking.
And suddenly the pond gets a whole lot quieter.
Giddyup!!!
