Imagine you are one of the most powerful leaders of all time. Your influence has been felt by thousands of people and you were specifically chosen by God for this role.
Now, imagine your father-in-law pays you a visit and while he’s there he offers you some advice. Yeah. Talk about having the potential to go really, really wrong.
But, what if it didn’t go wrong? What if, in fact, the advice was given and received in a healthy way?
Today we are continuing with our series called ‘How to Give and Receive Correction’. If you missed part one you can watch it here.
And today we are jumping into part two…How to GIVE Correction.
So, what about you?
Was there a time in your life when you feel like correction was given the right way?
What about a time when it wasn’t?
Have you ever given correction to someone else and used some of these steps?
Let’s talk! I’d love to hear from you!
I would love to follow your blog, At the Picket Fence but can’t find a link to join.

I think these are good and wise steps to take when giving correction. Would you say, then, that we should withhold from giving correction on social media? (I’m enjoying this series, and it’s timely for me:)
Hi Suzanne! I’m SO glad that this is timely for you! When it comes to social media I guess it all depends on what kind of correction you are giving, but I find that it rarely goes well when we correct people online. I think handling something in a more private manner is always a better option but that’s just my opinion. 🙂
