It's Not WHAT We Say, It's HOW We Say It!
The Secret to Everyday Communication (Without Argument)
Everyday communication works, until it doesn't. Whether at home or at work, when opinions, or what two people want differs, talk can quickly turn into an argument. Growing frustration can lead to words weaponized to hurt—all to prove one's point. There is a better way. This seminar takes a realistic look at an approach that moves everyday disagreement into a civil discussion (without argument).
Training Outcomes:
• Melt away defensiveness or arguments in seconds
• Ask the most powerful questions at the right time
• Get to the bottom of an issue by listening for the three clues
• Get cooperation without forcing your ideas
• Say what you mean without using the 12 words that “push people’s buttons”
"Fantastic class! Mark pushed my mind to open and run.
I learned a lot about me, and how I undermine myself in my daily conversations."
