If time is precious then shouldn’t we be having conversations that encourage growth? Sharing experiences that are inclined to motivate. You possess the right skills to empower people. May as well put them to good use.
There should be little room for gossip or circulating in negative banter. This has no value. In fact the truth will have most naysayers backing away slowly. Speak louder, have authority in your voice, drown at any doubters.
While they’re removing themselves to a safe listening distance, hold firm. As time goes on people recognise what you stand for.
Empowering mode.
This is working in the flow of an individual’s thoughts and ideas. Stay on their topic of choice. Ask questions and show interest.
Don’t be in a hurry to have your say. Listen and enjoy others holding the floor. When you’re in empowering mode you’re going with the mood, attitude and behaviour of another.
Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply. – Stephen R. Covey
When the times right, share your observations. Emphasis their good qualities. Underlining what they do and how you’re fond of these particular abilities.
Assess their feedback. Their response is an indicator of whether you should continue. You’re not seeking approval or agreeance. You’re looking for permission to proceed.
Some people won’t want your help or guidance. Yet most individuals love to hear what you see in them. Especially if it’s a ‘feel good’ quality. Empower people, highlight their best assets. This will rev up the conversation and get them thinking.
