Vocal Vision Jeff Anello + David MC

So it’s talk about stock sentences that you can use at any time of the interaction to continue the intention so that the conversation can lead to being complete. Today we would like to discuss the types of sentences you can use and the two different types of ways to use stock sentences.

1. I do want to be clear here 2. Ok, what you are saying is 3. So you're committed to 4. And our goal is to.

Two types: Dismissal of the idea and Acceptance of the idea.

What your life may look like does not change based on how someone responds in the discussion so take on listening and using these stock sentences when your stuck to say what you need to say and be heard! 

S2 EP 16 - Holding focus on what is important - Strategies

We apologize for being away for a few weeks, with the Hong Kong Lockdowns and health concerns it's been a while since we posted. We miss you all and are excited to share this LONG podcast unedited just for you the Vocal Visionaries!

In this episode, we talked about how to hold focus on what is important. It is a fun exercise, we mentioned earlier which is being able to listen to someone be able to listen to yourself and self reflect, and find out the intent of the conversation identify the problems these things are important. 

Then we discussed why focusing on the conversation and what the point of this conversation is,  to not derail yourself don’t do not allow yourself to be derailed by your thoughts of rejection or concern for yourself that you’re not saying what you need to say but in terms of just being with the conversation if you can focus on what’s important on that it doesn’t matter the outcome of the conversation because it’s an ongoing thing especially if you’re planning on having this conversation is for the future relationship to continue, You will have time to revisit these conversations in the future knowing that if you’re focusing on ally then that you are not listening to you so what is important is what’s important to the conversation

In this episode, we discuss: Keeping the conversation on track - redirecting techniques.

We all want to keep the conversation on track so know where you’re at within the interaction. We share how many times the conversation will go off track because the other person will redirect the conversation, for multiple reasons, maybe because they feel uncomfortable having a conversation at that time or oftentimes whether not we realize it odd chats also seem to take the conversation off track. If we’re scared to say something to bring it back we miss the opportunity to drive this point home especially if you’re talking about something it’s very difficult. Today we talk about to help you get back on track

In this episode, we talk about how to lead the conversations where it's going, why identity and context are so important. Now we can lead the conversation in the direction it goes, not as some sort of manipulation but in an effort to make sure the tactical chat becomes valuable for both involved.

In this episodes Next Actions we ask you to answer these questions before you have the conversation:

1. What is the outcome you're looking to achieve?

2. What is the best-case scenario?

3. What is the worst-case scenario? 

4. What would it look like if the conversation was never had, whats the impact of that?

In this episode, we talk about. what is the context? It's the overall theme of the message, the place where we are coming from where anything said in this space is allowed yet also geared toward why we are even having this interaction in the first place. It's a space to always go back to if needed.

in this episode's Next Actions we discuss what you can do to create the workflow to know what to say within the context of the conversation. 

(Apologies for the audio buzz in the episode)

In this episode we talk about how to identify what needs to be said, I mean we all struggle with saying what we want to say, right? Maybe it's because we fear the reaction of someone else, or we don't know what that means for the conversation. Let's dive into both ideas and are clear on what needs to be said before we chat. So today we talk about ways to see how it will go and then we can be clear about what we want to say to get an intended result.

In this episode's Next Actions we ask you to write about the fear you have going into the conversation by clarifying the best and worst-case outcome and then providing a thesis statement, one sentence that would explain the conversation.
