As the New York Times bestselling author of 23 books and lead pastor of National Community Church, Mark Batterson believes that the foundation of all healthy relationships and successful careers stems from our proficiency in these three words: Please. Sorry. Thanks.

\\xa0All three of these words require a posture of humility. All three of these words unlock the law of reciprocity and foster connection and understanding. As Mark puts it, \\u201cto me, \\u2018please\\u2019 is a way of being others-focused and honoring others.\\xa0 It\\u2019s going against the tide of entitlement. I don\\u2019t want to operate in that way. I want to operate in a way that honors others.\\u201d\\xa0

\\xa0This week, Mark Batterson returns to Typology to discuss how these three powerful words impact leadership, relationships, and a healthy mindset.\\xa0 We also explore the distinction between self-awareness and self-consciousness, and the role self-awareness plays in allowing us to give a timely \\u201cplease,\\u201d a sincere \\u201csorry,\\u201d and a heartfelt \\u201cthanks.\\u201d
