Circling back, pain points, pivoting, deliverables… how many jargon-y words can you remember hearing in a business setting? Probably a lot more than 7. And yet, despite being designed to energize and motivate team members, have you ever been inspired by one of those buzzwords? Have some of them left you even MORE confused?

This week on S4N, Gene explores how we can move from communication gimmicks, trends, and tactics to real, effective conversations. Using Habit 5 from Stephen Covey’s renowned book “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People”, learn how to build on classic mirroring and labeling, retire autobiographical listening and its pitfalls from your business toolbox, and practice both clear communication and empathetic listening.

Plus, discover the “bar rule” for communicating, learn strategies that will make it easier to understand your negotiating partners, and identify the difference between sounding smart and being smart. Remember: negotiation is life.

 

Mentioned in this episode: 

  • "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" by Stephen Covey
  • "Win Every Argument: The Art of Debating, Persuading, and Public Speaking" by Mehdi Hasan
  • United States v. Marshall
