Have you ever had to witness a couple in a heated argument in public? No fun, right? I believe they call that “cringe” these days. For good reason, too. And I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been in corporate meetings where heated opinions drowned out any hope of some productive talk.

But productive talk is a choice so many don’t choose.

And why would anyone prefer to avoid it? Well, I learned a long time ago, when communication is difficult for you, at least talk about that. Sounds funny, right? But here’s what I mean.

Be willing to let people know when it’s not easy for you to communicate what you feel or mean. That’s actually a great way to get communication, aka: a productive talk, started. And don’t be surprised if the other person shows a lot more understanding than you thought they would. Because there’s a good chance the feeling is mutual.

But if you’re worried you might lose your composure, stick to the following tips:

  • Remember to breathe. Anxiety can negatively affect your breathing and lead to more anxiety.
  • Communication isn’t a race. So keep to your rhythm. And you’ll keep your composure.
  • Be quiet. People who are comfortable with silence often appear to be the smartest in the room. Negotiations 101 says whoever speaks first loses. Don’t let that be you.
  • Listen. Pay attention to questions. And give direct answers. They don’t hand out prizes for the longest answer. And the more words you use, the more likely you’ll say or do something wrong.
  • Focus. When you get off topic, you lose your audience. “Just the facts ma’am”

Remember, you have two ears and one mouth for a reason.

You learn a lot more by listening. So, if you wanna be heard, listening more will help. And that kind of communication will help you make sure productive talk is one of the easiest parts of your business.

About Ronda

After 14 years in a management position for a large corporation in the same industry, Ronda decided to make a change. She wanted to explore something besides what her insurance background offered. The benefits of self-employment certainly interested her... * More time with her family, * Doing what she loved, and * Making more money Ronda looked for opportunity, and became a partner in a small business in early 2000. She observed how unpredictable their lead generation and profits were and decided to make an intense study of the industry. Before long, she mastered all the technical details of the business. Once immersed in formal training, coaching, and implementation...she discovered how to build a better business. She developed and integrated a new business model with an emphasis on referrals. Over time, Ronda's consistent, reliable, and predictable marketing strategies created clearly defined roles for all operational components of the company. And that lead to an increased overall production of 82% over the next 6 years. Gross annual profits increased from $310,000 to $1.7M in 4 years. The business opened second and third divisions. In 3 years those divisions earned over $4M. News of those successes got around. And Ronda was approached by several small business owners and entrepreneurs. They wanted to know her "business secrets". She started taking on clients who were willing to do what it takes to be true business owners and create business profits. Since then, Ronda has helped scores of clients convert their business owner dreams into reality.
