If you want to be a better communicator…then look no more. If you’ve been waiting for “the magic silver bullet”…it’s here in the form of “Talk to Me” communication technology that just takes a few minutes a day to learn as you use it. Only downside: If you don’t use the new talk technology…the new talk technology cannot work for you.
WHAT MY TALK PASSENGERS TELL ME ABOUT THE “TALK TO ME” APPROACH TO GOOD COMMUNICATION
Don’t wait “until” you lose out big to spend a few minutes taking care of YOU with help of the “Talk to Me” approach to strategic communication. It’s like putting on your oxygen mask first during an in-flight emergency, before you help your children or elder passengers with theirs.
According to my esteemed seminar members, what will they do differently after the seminar?
-
- Try to determine which type each one of my colleagues are and try to use that approach with them.
- Change what I say/do depending on who I’m dealing with (E- or I-type) not necessarily to win or outstrategize them, but for a better reason…to grow and be more effective at a win-win.
- Growth comes through learning the strengths of your opposite.
- People operate from 4 basic modes: Emotions, Beliefs, Behaviors, Talks. I will try to establish from observation which mode someone is in when I interact with that person, and respond accordingly.
- Approaching each person I know looking for their personality type and mode–not just “they believe as I do (or don’t).” They aren’t annoying–they’re just E’s and I’s.
- Look at my children differently when I correct or punish them as they may be a different communicator type. A new way of looking at where a person is coming from.
- I (an E-type) can use information on the modes to determine where I am and how to best communicate to my I-type co-worker.
- Determine each person’s type at work. I need to identify I-types, and work better with them. Dr. O’-Thanks for today. Being an E-type you have helped so much by helping me deal with I-types.
- Realizing that the two types of communication styles, although very different, can be blended together well to form better forms of communication.
- Develop the inspiration to challenge I-types to communicate more openly–rather than writing them off as close-minded. And develop more trust and confidence that opposite communication styles can be bridged with good coaching!
- I will be able to sum up others’ communicator styles to avoid hurt feelings and resentments from occurring.
- I will spend some energy seeking to understand the communicator style of the person I am engaged in conversation with.
- Memorize the 4 modes of communication and it will change your life.
- Honestly, I will stop feeling like a victim to “annoying people.”
- I will let go of automatic “knee-jerk, me-jerk” reactions.
- I won’t allow my energy to be drained by negative people who act like they want my help–then steal my life energy.
YOU CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH?
No, this talk stuff isn’t work…it’s fun, pleasurable and stress reducing. Your positive attitude will be boosted, your mood improve, junk get ya’ down less long, etc.
ARE WE THERE YET?
Why wait until you “get there” to enjoy the ride in your communicator car? First, care for yourself. Know whether you are driving an ocean blue Empathizer-type communicator car, or driving a burnt orange Instigator-type communicator car. If you don’t know (and work with your type) your communicator type…than you are still driving a horse and buggy in the age of space travel.
