Every once in a while I get asked how I keep my cool on set when something unexpected happens, and this question is largely the reason why.
Bad attitudes, unforced errors, even seeming hostility; from my perspective it can feel like a bunch of nonsense, BUT - when I pause and ask myself this question, it suddenly becomes SO much easier to deal with the moment in front of me.
This question often reframes the entire situation, because it frees me up to stop seeing the person in front of me as the problem. Truth is, they are a human who could probably do with a little empathy.
The truth is, most people don’t spend their mornings eating their cereal while plotting of ways to p**s us off 😂.
I have never regretted asking myself this question, and nearly every case, adding positive energy into the situation was THE thing that kicked off the process of finding a solution.
So, next time you’re dealing with nonsense, ask yourself this question. It will make a difference, I promise!!
