Say what? Say how!
In life, real communication is not the same as talking. It\u2019s a skill we don\u2019t often think about but that we use all the time. Imagine the last time you had a disagreement with a loved one. What did you say? What was your tone? Were you able to reach a happy medium?
\nAll we want is to get our point or message come across more effectively. For this, we need just to soften the blow, be credible and genuine. How is it different from sugarcoating? How do you convey your message and yet not create a conflict or stir?
\nThe key is to soften HOW you say it, not WHAT you say.
\nIn this episode, I\u2019ll share how I learned the hard way that most often, saying what you have to in a better way could lead to healthier relationships and better outcomes. It\u2019ll be a guidebook of my personal experiences that taught me how to master this ability.
\nI share with you:
\n\u25cf How I got out of friendships that did not respect me, and how I ended up creating non-negotiable terms for my dealing with people.
\n\u25cf Holistically looking at an entire situation when some happening of the present triggers a bad memory from your past.
\n\u25cf Non-negotiable terms could work in business, but in real life, sometimes you have to evaluate it better.
\n\u25cf How I soften situations and say what I have to without hurting another individual.
\n\u25cf Learn how sugarcoating is different from softening the blow and why the latter is more genuine and works better.
\n\u25cf Using sandpaper as a metaphor to soften the blow. You gradually make it appear soft and smooth.
\n\u25cf If someone feels hurt by you, they are going to do something to retaliate. No matter how nice a person is or how kind they are. That is human nature.
\n\u25cf My top 3 supporters in life and how a personal memory with them taught me the importance of conveying a message in the right way and not to hurt another person\u2019s sentiments, no matter how true your point is.
\n\u25cf I read out the letters I wrote to 2 old friends of mine whom I couldn\u2019t stay with any longer - excerpts from my book, A Spiritual Guru Walked Into The House Of A Cash Master.
\n\u25cf According to science and the hormones, when our hormones are all over the place, sometimes we're up and sometimes we're down. So it's important to know that it\u2019s not what you say. It's how you say it that matters more.
