Only Trying to Help
Join Dr. Kate Watson, of the Advocacy Academy, LLC, and Leslie Ballway as they help every day people better advocate for the ones they love and cherish. Dr. Watson has traveled the world speaking to large audiences about basic helping and communication skills. All over the world, informal counselors walk among us. These kind-hearted and well-meaning people are trying to support friends, children, spouses, and coworkers through life’s challenges. They are hair dressers and bartenders doling out relationship advice, parents and grandparents hoping to comfort the family through grief, and managers or coworkers attempting to motivate someone to aim higher. Every episode includes cutting edge research, humor, and case examples. These strategies are not tricks, nor traps. More accurately, they are a form of scientific kindness.
