I know — as introverts, having SMALL TALK can sometimes feel like a struggle. We’d much rather have a deep, one-on-one conversation with someone and talk about things like our hopes and dreams, not surface-level topics like the weather or questions that only require one-word answers.


But, unfortunately, #smalltalk is necessary at times, whether we like it or not. In fact, sometime small talk can turn out to be more than useless chatter. It can serve as a bridge to other, more meaningful topics — which introverts appreciate.


Check out this #video to learn 3 ways that have helped me to master small talk, even as an #introvert💡


Truly,
Trish

Being a good #LEADER takes frequent, open communication with your direct reports and supervisors. This can feel draining for self-described #INTROVERTS, who typically need time to recharge their social batteries.

Leaders who tend toward introversion may be more hesitant to speak up in a group, and they will often listen and process information before speaking. While these traits may seem like obstacles to be overcome by those in leadership upon first glance, such attributes can actually be leveraged and used to a leader’s advantage.

Check out this video to learn 3 ways to leverage the advantages of introversion💡

Truly,
Trish

Have you ever tried to SAY all the right words during a high stakes #negotiation or challenging discussion with your partner, but somehow, the END RESULT turned out disastrous?🤯


Back in 1967, psychologist Dr. Albert Mehrabian from the University of California, cited based on research, that 7% of #communication is conveyed by our #words, 38% comes via our #toneofvoice, and 55% comes through #bodylanguage. 


💡This rule is important and very useful because by learning how to apply the 7-38-55 rule in a negotiation situation, it will help you understand what your negotiating partners are communicating and better control your own messaging, thus resulting in a more fruitful #conversation.


However, it is important to note as Mehrabian explained on his own website, "Total Liking = 7% Verbal Liking + 38% Vocal Liking + 55% Facial Liking" and other similar equations were derived from experiments specifically focused on the communication of #feelings and attitudes (i.e., like-dislike).


The bottom line is Mehrabian's rule applies only to FEELINGS, not factual content. And it only works when DIFFERENT SIGNALS are in conflict. The good news is, this encompasses a whole lot of situations that are really, really important in life. 


I’d love to hear your thoughts. Have you ever tried this rule before? What other #communicationtips have helped you achieve a calm and impactful conversation during challenging moments?


Truly,
Trish

CHARISMA - Some people just seem to have it. The way they communicate energizes others and causes people to want to be around them. This special trait is referred to as 'charisma'.

This is no small matter because #charisma improves the likelihood of success in almost every area of life.  Charismatic people, especially very confident and persuasive leaders, are able to inspire others to take what they say seriously and act on it.

Because of its importance, charisma has fascinated social scientists for decades. The good news is, that charisma is no longer viewed as a mysterious gift that only a few people are endowed with.  Today, research shows that it is something that anyone can learn and develop.

Ready to boost your level of charisma? Try out this simple hack today ✨

Truly,
Trish

Instantly boost EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE with this simple hack👉 https://youtube.com/shorts/DfpbJvk-tDo


#Emotionalintelligence (otherwise known as emotional quotient or EQ) is the ability to understand, use, and manage our own emotions in positive ways to relieve stress, communicate effectively, empathize with others, overcome challenges, defuse conflict, as well as help us to connect with our feelings, and turn intention into action. On top of that, it helps us build stronger relationships, succeed at school and work, and achieve our career and personal goals.


With all these benefits to reap, it is obvious to see that when it comes to happiness and success in life, EQ matters just as much as IQ, especially during challenging moments.
But, how can we boost our EQ instantly?


Check out this #video to learn a simple mindset hack that you can try out right now💡


Truly,
Trish

Does making #LIFECHANGING decisions make your head spin? 🤯 If yes, try this 3-step framework by #TonyRobbins to help you start making #toughdecisions quickly and with less stress:

📌 Step 1: Evaluate your options
If you attempt to do everything in your head, or computer, your brain will end up LOOPING over the same things.

Put everything on paper removes this #pressure and helps you #focus.

Review each of your option’s upsides and downsides. As you think about the potential #consequences, ask yourself:

a) What are the possible outcomes if I take this option?

b) How important (on a scale of 0–10) is each upside/downside in terms of meeting my outcomes?

c) What is the probability (0–100%) that the upside/downside will occur?

d) What is the emotional benefit or consequence if this option were to happen? This is an especially important question for emotionally tough decisions such as those involving your relationship or children.

e) After jotting down these answers, you’ll be able to eliminate some options from your list.

📌 Step 2: Mitigate the damage
The reason we fear tough decisions is because of what could happen if the WRONG decision is made.

In a #business, we could lose customers or even the business. In #relationships, it’s the difference between finding a passionate relationship or settling for less than we deserve.

That’s why you must review all downsides in more detail. Brainstorm alternative ways to eliminate or reduce those downsides.

📌 Step 3: Resolve
Based on the most probable consequences, select the option that provides the greatest certainty that you will meet your desired outcomes and needs.

This'll help you beat #procrastination and avoid the deadliest decision of all: #INACTION

Resolve that no matter what happens, this option will give you a WIN. Even if it ends up in #failure, you can choose to view it as a #learningexperience or a point to go in a different direction.

The ability to find the #LESSON is an essential part of developing #innerstrength and making better decisions in the future.  

Best,
Trish

Do you ever find yourself rambling on during a conversation or struggling to get your point across clearly and succinctly? Whether you’re in a business meeting, job interview, or casual #conversation, the ability to speak more concisely is a valuable skill.

Speaking concisely is important for a variety of reasons in our professional and personal life. First, when we are #concise in our communication, we are more likely to get our point across effectively and efficiently to our audience.

This is particularly important in professional settings, where time is often limited and we need to convey important information quickly.

Additionally, speaking concisely can help to build our credibility as a speaker. If we are able to get our message across in a clear and concise manner, we are more likely to be perceived as knowledgeable and #confident. Finally, speaking concisely can help to avoid misunderstandings and miscommunications in our personal relationships.

Ready to learn the art of speaking concisely?
Check out this video to learn 5 practical strategies you can use to speak more concisely to sound more persuasive and confident now.

Truly,
Trish

SPEAKING UP is hard to do😶 Would you #speakup if you saw something ethically questionable? Run up against offensive speech? Disagree with an opinion that’s all too quickly become consensus?

While we’d all like to think we'd say something in these situations, but #research suggests that most people tend to NOT act, and then rationalize their #inaction.
But we’re not really doing our job — as a diligent employee, #compassionate colleague, or thoughtful #leader — if we don’t speak up when it matters.

So what can we do?

First, realize how psychologically difficult — and worthwhile — speaking up can be.
Research on “#realisticoptimism” shows that when people set out to do difficult, personally meaningful things, they’re more likely to follow through if they expect that the task will be challenging. In speaking up, as in life, one must appreciate the difference between BELIEVING you will #succeed and ASSUMING that you will do so easily.

Second, try to lessen the social threat that speaking up creates.
Social motivation comes in 5 flavors: #Status, certainty, #autonomy, relatedness, and #fairness.

When you speak up to someone, any one of these 5 buttons might be pushed, but most commonly it’s STATUS, especially when you’re communicating up the chain of command.

Make it clear that you’re not attributing ill will to the person or people you might be speaking about. Show that you are providing feedback on impact, without making any assumptions about intent.

Third, #makeaplan.
Though you won’t be able to predict the specifics of every situation, creating a plan for how to speak up can significantly increase the likelihood that you do so when the moment presents itself.

What other strategies have helped you to speak up when it matters the most?


Truly,
Trish
