The Power to Communicate: Get What You Want by Knowing When to Listen and Making Your Words Matter
The other day, a reader asked how he could take his new confidence that he worked so hard to obtain, and use it to get his dream job. It occurred to me if my coaching clients were to learn my communication skills, they could benefit greatly.
It makes sense right? We all need to achieve something from someone at some point, right? How often have you been on the phone trying to lower your cable bill or deny a credit card charge?
It's an Everyday Challenge:
- Convincing the judge that you are in the right
- Trying to avoid waiting in a long line to get into an event
- Getting a job
- Asking for a raise
- Getting your landlord to drop the rent, or at least keep
from raising it - Getting out of a speeding ticket
- Avoiding a confrontation
- Buying a car and getting the lowest price possible
- Getting a woman to like you
- Getting your man to worship you
And on and on!

People, we need to have the power to communicate!
It is important to learn the power to communicate so you can get what you want out of life. When you learn to do it in a way that helps both people involved, your odds of success increase significantly. I realize that this is the piece of the puzzle I have left out of my coaching in the past. How can I expect people to continue to succeed if they don’t know how to engage in effective conversation?
As part of helping you gain the Power to Communicate, I have included a free workbook, which you can download for free by clicking the cover below!
Is There Such a Thing as Constructive Criticism?
We have all been criticized, maybe as early as in our toddler years if we grew up with harsh parents. The problem with criticism is that each time we are criticized, it takes a little ding out of our self-esteem. If we hear enough criticism, it begins to feel normal. Before you know it, we are not only accustomed to hearing negative thoughts, we begin saying them to ourselves, and worse, to other people.
Study after study have proven that animals react more positively to rewards than they do to punishments. The same thing applies to people. It’s like the old saying, You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar
. This is actually a 400-year-old quote by Saint Francis DeSales, who was born in France in 1567. Being nice is not a new concept. What is new, though, is the realization that humans have a component to our personalities which animals do not – we rationalize our mistakes.
We’ve all experienced a situation like Rob to the left. We have all had that person in our lives who just seems to suck the life right out of us by constantly finding fault with what we do. Whether it’s a spouse, a parent, a coworker or a boss, that person is there for every one of us.
A client of mine, Rob, was going through a divorce. It was impacting every area of his life, including work. Now sharing the child-rearing, Rob was now often arriving late to work and was distracted to a point which had negatively affected his job.
Rob’s boss, Larry, was critical. He was a busy guy whose boss was always coming down hard on him, so it seemed natural for him to just pass along the negativity.
After weeks of this workplace stress, Rob has grown to hate the job he once loved. He despises his boss and spends a lot of time just trying to avoid the guy all together. He often feels sick at work and is beginning to feel about as useless as his boss is telling him he has become. Every day, boss Larry finds something to criticize.
After a couple of months, good ole Larry finds himself out of a job and Rob’s new boss hits the scene. Rob is pretty nervous when the new boss requests a meeting.
Hey Rob! I’ve been looking over some of the projects you’ve spearheaded and I have to say I’m impressed! You have done great things here!
Rob is feeling lighter than air now! One thing I did notice, though, Rob. It seems as if your work hasn’t been quite up to your usual standard. I was wondering if there is something going on that I could help with.
Rob is now feeling as if he has a boss who cares. Immediately, his performance improves and he finds a way to get the kids to school and show up for work on time.
Our Physical Reaction to Criticism
Often, we don’t even see the damage being done, but it’s there and it’s real. Studies have shown that when we receive criticism, two areas of our brain kick into high gear – the amygdala and the medial prefrontal cortex . In case you’re scratching your head now, thinking something here sounds familiar, rest assured you’re right.
The amygdala also happens to be one of the areas
