Integrity

A definition of integrity:
Behaving in an ethical way. Being worthy of people’s trust.
I had a client who told me in their first session that he had been “working on integrity.” He said it as if to declare that integrity was something he had made great strides at and was proud of his level of the quality. Just about the time of his 3rd scheduled appointment he called and said that he had guests and could not make it to the appointment. I reminded him that the contract he signed with me said that clients must pay for an hour if they do not give 24 hours notice of cancellation. I also reminded him that we had a conversation about the policy. I make exceptions for sudden illness etc, but this last-minute re-prioritization of time was not an exceptional circumstance. That was the last I saw of him & he did not pay for the missed appointment. He was right about one thing: he needed to work on Integrity.

Working on building Integrity, some things to think about:
Have you had an opportunity lately to work on advancing your skill with the quality of Integrity?
Do you see an opportunity in the near future?
Have you had challenges with Integrity in the past?
Do you know someone who demonstrates Integrity often? How does it impact their life & the people around them?
How would Integrity, or lack of Integrity, impact your relationships?
