    Hi,

    I just wanted peoples thoughts on the % attribution of positively encouraging someone to not PMO vs being a bit more ‘forceful’ and pressuring them against it.

    For example if someone is close to PMO’ing and say reaches out to you.

    What I see the difference is;

    Encouragement - ‘you can do it, try not to quit now’

    Pressure - ‘You’re really going to regret it if you go down that path. You need to go out for a walk NOW’

    If someone posts on a forum or get a call they’re are about to start- do we try to be positive or give them a jolt and wake up call? Or is it a bit of both?

    Interested to hear what people think please?
