“With a horse you give it orders, but with a donkey, you have to negotiate.”

“With a horse you give it orders, but with a donkey, you have to negotiate.”

I saw this saying many years ago and immediately I said to my self, “that’s me.”  I’m guessing it could be with others.

So how does this saying, fit in our Supported Self Management Plan/programmes?

This saying means that different people need different approaches.

In our Supported Self Management Plan, it shows that we might follow instructions easily, like a horse, while other times, we might need more discussion and understanding, like a donkey.

Important message for healthcare professionals: 👇

It’s important to adapt your coaching methods to help everyone feel heard and supported ‼️
