💡 You know what I mean. No... O.k. Ever meet someone who sounds polite, but the undertone stings? That’s the “nice-nasty” at play. It shows up as sugar-coated criticism, backhanded compliments, or a smile with daggers underneath. It makes me suspicious of intent, others simply uncomfortable. It’s not just about personality — it’s a self-esteem issue. 👉 Aggression wrapped in niceness is often a shield for insecurity. I know this to be true I was the champ. Yes, I was trying to hurt you and I knew it. 🎯This week I'm going to talk about Self esteem.🎯 Resource: Worksheet Case Study: My words were polished, but my tone dripped with superiority. “Oh, you did it that way? Interesting.” I wasn’t cruel outright — but everyone felt smaller around me. The truth? My self-esteem was shaky. I didn’t trust that my worth stood on its own, so I armored myself with subtle jabs to stay “above” others. Always on the lookout for an intruder that could bust my huge ego bubble. Not today sir....... 🎯 How to Recognize “Nice-Nasty” in yourself. 1. Compliments that cut: “That dress looks good… for your age.” 2. Polite tone, disrespectful content or reverse. It leaves you feeling smaller, not supported. 3. Sarcasm passed off as “just joking.” 4. A smile that doesn’t match the eyes. 5. Feeling like you have to be armed and dangerous, at all times. 6. Listening for ammo not understanding. 7. Deciding that your past dictates hurting others. 8. Inconsistent body language — smile + dismissive tone. 🔥 4 Action Steps to Stop Being (or Tolerating) “Nice-Nasty” 1. Pause before speaking. Ask: “Is my tone empowering or diminishing?” 2. Name the pattern. If you hear it, calmly say: “That felt dismissive — can we try again?” 3. Practice kind directness. Replace passive-aggressive hints with clear, respectful requests. 4. Strengthen esteem. Daily self-acceptance practice reduces the need to tear others down. 5. What is my intention (honestly). What is the speakers intention? Ask if your not clear. 6. Be honest about your feelings and know what they are.

Please join me in welcoming @Debbie Fillinich , a Certified Professional Coach whose work in training, career development, change management, leadership development, and life coaching has already touched so many lives. Before fully stepping into coaching, Debbie spent two years co-founding and building NR Women Coach Community, working alongside talented coaches who helped spark my own passion for empowering others. I’ve seen firsthand the depth of her wisdom, her ability to motivate teams to exceed their goals, and—most importantly—her gift for meeting people exactly where they are. At a pivotal retreat, during a session called “The Motivation to Success Tree,” Debbie discovered her deeper calling: not just to help others, but to help them win—to break limits, reach new heights, and thrive. That clarity led her to pursue formal training, earn her certification, and launch her own practice. Beyond her professional brilliance, Debbie is a proud grandmother who treasures family, finds peace in gardening, and joy in the walk group that keeps her health and spirit moving in the right direction. I deeply respect @Debbie Fillinich heart, her dedication, and her ability to bring both compassion and results. She’s a coach who doesn’t just guide—she cares.
