Handling INTERRUPTIONS when you're speaking
"Ever been hit by those 'stolen spotlight' moments? They're like unwanted guests crashing your party. But hey, here's the scoop: interruptions aren't just a nuisance, they're a chance to shine. Yup, you heard it right! There are savvy ways to tackle them head-on and still ace your message. Whether you're chatting one-on-one or leading a group pow-wow, there are hacks to keep from being steamrolled. Here's the deal: when you're constantly cut off, keep on talking. How you handle those interruptions? That's your moment to shine, baby. It's what sets you apart and gives you that speaker swagger. And hey, interruptions aren't always bad news. They could be questions from your audience – a golden opportunity! Take it in your stride. Just like Bill Clinton did when his own phone rang during a speech. Talk about smooth operator! So, embrace the interruptions and show 'em who's boss." Now, after 25 years of training folks in communication skills, I've noticed a common thread. It's not that people are bad at communicating because they're inherently bad at it. Nah. It's more about the disconnect between what they're saying and who they truly are.

The power of POSITIVE communication!
Do you struggle in making people agree with you Or listen to you? So, let's talk about positive communication, because that’s what you need! It's basically all about spreading good vibes, making sure everyone gets where the other person is coming from, and making sure everyone feels good about the convo. When you communicate positively, you're being constructive, supportive, and just generally bringing those good feels into the mix.   Now, when it comes to getting your point across at work, being assertive is where it's at. Assertive communicators are like the champs of respectful and productive talk. They're confident in sharing their ideas, but they always keep it polite and respectful. And hey, they're not afraid to tackle challenges head-on, but they also know when to put their foot down.   And let's not forget the power of stories!

Magic Trick to Stop Rambling- Part I
Hey, got a big presentation on the horizon? Feeling overwhelmed by all the content you have to cover? Worried about whether what you say will actually be valuable to your audience? I get it, starting can be tough when you're drowning in information and unsure where to begin. And I know, the clock is ticking, adding to the pressure. Top of it, you worry that you might end up rambling or waffling on! It's a common fear. Rambling occurs when you haven't prepared well or when your notes aren't helping you stay on track. It's like talking a lot without really saying anything substantial. Let's call it the "Waffle Trap" – speaking without a clear point or going on when you've already made your point. So, how do we avoid this trap and speak engagingly and in an impactful manner? Learn this, and a master strategy which works wonderfully well to control all that unwanted rambling!

STAR method of PUBLIC SPEAKING- PART I
Someone rightly said, "The mind is a wonderful thing. It starts working the minute you're born and never stops working until you get up to speak in public." Do you think these stars were always stars? Do you think people always let up for them when they walked on the stage? Do you think the huge round of applause is that they hear today always existed? Nope! They used the STAR method! According to Nancy Duarte, a STAR moment should “dramatically drive the big idea home” Your audience should always leave your presentation with something they’ll always remember. Having said that, what does it actually take to create a memorable STAR moment? This episode is all about that, just with some add ons!

How to 'CONTINUE' conversations- Part III
How often are you speaking to someone new, feeling like the conversation’s going pretty well, and then… Silence hits. You don’t know what to say. They don’t know what to say. This is so awkward. What do you do? Conversations are a dance of words, where each person knows when to step forward and when to step back. Chances are, those conversations moved smoothly from one speaker to the next, and naturally from one topic to another. There was no sense of "What do I say now?" or "Am I supposed to talk next?" You and the other people in the conversation felt free to enjoy spending time with each other instead of worrying about how to make the conversation work. This is a skill that you need to master because it is a real life skill! I shared two strategies in part I & II of this series. Today, I'm sharing the super cool strategy, mastery of which will ensure your conversations keep flowing naturally and never run dry!

How to 'CONTINUE' conversations- Part II
"When ever I talk to someone new. It always dies after the introduction. I have no idea why. I literally feel awful because I know that I can talk to people and I have the confidence to approach people. But I never have any idea what to say." ....... I hear this from clients, all the time! The best conversations always have both interlocutors bouncing off one another's statements. So, if you're struggling, just remember that it might not be your fault, at least not completely :). This podcast and particularly, this episode is for you if your conversations keep running dry! Who said it was easy to keep conversations going! However, it's not all that difficult if you use the strategy I'm going to share today! In most cases, you can use what the other person says to keep the conversation going. In communication lingo, “what they give you” is called free-information. So, instead of constantly thinking up new things to talk about, you simply use what they give you. People leak free-information all the time. You just need to be more open to hearing it. When you notice something of interest in the conversation, comment on it or ask a question to open up a new path in the interaction. You’ll be amazed how liberating it is to enter a conversation knowing they will give you what you need to continue! If you’ve never learned how to keep a conversation flowing, it most likely has hurt your social life and even your work life. We want to help you improve this part of your life. And once you know how to keep the thoughts and words flowing, you’ll be surprised at how many more doors open to friendship, activities, and joy in your life. I shared one strategy last week. I'm going to share one right here. Another follow up strategy will finally complete the top three strategies on how to master the art of never letting your conversations run dry!

This denial of responsibility also denies us control of a given situation. Blame means less work as when we blame, we don't have to be held accountable. Some of us perpetually get blamed. Especially for things we didn't do! What's the way out? What do we do? How to handle the toxic blame-game?  This episode brings in smart strategies to handle the situation when someone blames you.

How to use HUMOR to deal with CONFLICT- PART II

How to use HUMOR to deal with CONFLICT- PART II
"Make me laugh & I'm your friend!" someone rightly said! Humor proves highly effective in creating a human connection between conflicting parties, thereby diffusing tension. Mahatma Gandhi once said, "If it was not for my sense of humor, the continuous disharmony and animosity would have pushed me towards madness long ago." Humor, a crucial cognitive skill, possesses the ability to address conflicts in unexpected ways. Improving relationships entails mastering the art of employing humor and play to navigate through disagreements, alleviate stress, and foster communication that strengthens connections. Okay, so it's no replacement for going to the gym, but one study found that laughing for just 10 to 15 minutes a day can burn approximately 40 calories—which could be enough to lose three or four pounds over the course of a year. :) When used with the right intent, consistently succeeds; it provides context to disputes and humanizes even the most severe circumstances.   Stay tuned and enjoy!

How to Ask for Help- Part I - THE SMART WAY!

How to Ask for Help- Part I - THE SMART WAY!
A dumb question, is the one that you don’t ask.  Usually, if you don’t ask, you don’t receive. Very few people know how or where to ask for help.  Why do we hesitate? If you fall in a pit in a jungle, probably only thing you’ll scream is ‘HELP’. It’s a different thing that only the tiger will hear it. But we hesitate  because of the is social conditioning. Somewhere along the way, we learn that asking for help is weakness, that you should be strong or at least *look* strong. So we are embarrassed or we fear rejection. We feel we’ll look stupid or weak asking for help. At some point of time, we all need of something from someone. This something could be information, assistance, support, money or time from someone else. Have you asked for it? And if you have, have you asked it effectively? If someone tells me 'I would be happy if I had more money', I would happily give them $1 and ask them ‘Now you have more money, are you happy?’  After that initial confused, and then amused reaction, he usually gets the drift but it is true that vague requests for help, have vague outcomes. In this podcast, we will learn how to master this skill in all social setups.  We’ll also learn how to come across as someone helpful.  We will understand why seeking support isn't a weakness,  and can in fact prevent costly or embarrassing mistakes.    Together, we’ll evaluate  why we hesitate to ask for help and we will learn when, where & how to seek help THE SMART WAY with insights on What worked for me And  What worked for my clients.   This podcast is in two parts So don’t miss out the second part of this podcast,  next week,  that is next Friday, where I share  the right Communication Techniques  To Ask For Help!   ******************  Stay tuned and enjoy!
