29 | Before you Speak: How to Build a Bridge to a Better Connection

from Confident Connections | Connect with Confidence Through Body Language, Verbal and Non Verbal Communication, and Leadership Development · host Lisa Arendell | Communication & Leadership Coach - Confidence Expert

I’ve got a little update for you! First, my book manuscript is out there with the self-publishing company and the wheels are rolling! The Energetic Leader: Five Qualities to Lead with Authentic Energy is hopefully coming by the holidays. Second, last night, life gave me a very real opportunity to practice what I talk about when my youngest and I ended up spending a few hours in the ER. Thankfully, she’s completely fine, but the long wait definitely tested my patience!   In this episode of Confident Connections, I’m sharing how I caught myself in real time and chose a different approach, and the lesson my mom taught me that is to build a bridge to the other person’s heart before bringing up the hard stuff. It’s a simple shift in communication, body language, and connection that can completely change the way a conversation unfolds.  As you listen, I want you to ask yourself: Am I building bridges with the people around me?Additional Links: Download How Not To Be Awkward Conversation Starters here: https://Lisalouimpact.com/connectionsIf you want to unlock signals that help you make amazing connections, get hired, become unforgettable, and feel confident walking into any room...in less than 2 hours, grab my 2 Hour Confident Connection Kit here: https://Lisalouimpact.com/kitEmail: [email protected]: @LisaArendellIG: Instagram.com/lisalouimpactFB: Facebook.com/lisa.arendellWebsite: https://lisalouimpact.com
