Tina and Kate have years of experience in the NHS, Hospice sector and lots of Nursing and leadership expertise and want to share everyday wisdom's with you.Its a little bit of yoga for the mind.
So Hop on in the back and get a lift to work.
Everyone has these in their lives. What makes a conversation a tricky one ? is it how you feel?
How you make it into a Greek Tragedy, a bit of Feta gets a mention, sending food back in restaurants. An example is given of Annual leave requests .
A list of tips is talked through. A major part of NLP and the study of success is how we communicate with ourselves and others. Did you know that most of our communication is done through bodylanguage? A whopping 55%! 38% is via the tone of the voice and only 7% is attributed to words. This Is not to say that words are not important.... they are.
“have you got a minute” is discussed.
Using a gentle tone, making a list beforehand, keep to the facts, don’t generalise.
Start with the Why, Your Why. The ownership and using I statements. What is that your aiming for? Your desired outcomes.
Be a good listener. For a good two way conversation. So have those Bridging conversations.
