Do You Realize that Your Relationships
Are as Healthy as the Things
You Can Talk About?
(Is that a Scary Concept?)
Let Me Explain Why You Need PowerPhrases Every Day of the Week
to Enhance Your Communication Skill
Welcome,
I don’t need to read your diary (or blog) to know that, like me, you are faced with challenging conversations every day - and you probably don’t always handle them as well as you could.
Do you ever delay risky conversations because you don’t know what to say or you don’t want to rock the boat? Do you ever dive into risky conversations with reckless abandon and later regret your words?
If you'd like to get your kids to level with you, if you want to get your spouse to openly (and graciously) discuss sensitive issues, or if you need to get your neighbor to cooperate with you: if there’s anything you need to say to anyone in your life, you need Power Phrases to Speak Strong.
Here's why:
Communication skill is your key to personal satisfaction and success.
If you don’t speak openly with your spouse, partner, kids, parents, neighbors and friends, resentments will build and fester.
If your words are unclear, confusion will reign.
If your language is inflammatory, you’ll be fighting fires.
It’s important to have words that work to build bridges and promote clarity.
But - you don't only need to know what to say, you need the words to say it.
I used to be silent in situations that screamed for clarity
I’ve experienced the pain of not knowing what to say. I’ve passed up communication opportunities at high cost to myself. That’s why I committed myself to become articulate and to help others find the words they need.
I used to stay silent when someone cut in front of me. I used to stay silent when someone accused me falsely. I used to stay silent when someone took credit for my ideas. Then I had a huge wake-up call. I stayed silent when my late husband didn’t want to consider the possibility (which turned out to be the reality) that he had cancer. If you want to know more of my story, click here.
I used to be aggressive too.
Like you, I’m not all one way. I've stayed silent when I needed to speak and I’ve used words as weapons to target people's weaknesses. If you ever overreact or speak up inappropriately, Power Phrases are for you too. My surprisingly simple SpeakStrong tools are as useful to aggressive people as passive people.
It’s easier than you think.
I offer formulas and the actual words you need to address those vexing and perplexing issues that affect you every day. But everything I teach is based on one simple formula. This formula is so straightforward you’ll wonder why you didn’t think of it yourself. This formula is so effective you’ll wish you had it long ago. Once you learn this formula, you’ll be ready to address personal issues you had resigned yourself to long ago.
I apply this formula to help you find the perfect words for the situations you face every day. My words have been tested around the world for their power and effectiveness in interpersonal communication. These words apply to thousands of situations you face every day. They have been embraced by hundreds of thousands of individuals, and they will add power to your personal interaction.
Are you ready to read the formula that is the basis of the most successful conversations you could ever have? People ask me, “What are your communication secrets?” My secrets are surprisingly simple. I have five concrete formulas that I apply repeatedly. When I need to Speak Strong I use a formula. When someone needs help speaking powerfully I use a formula. Speaking powerfully really is that easy.
I have five concrete formulas, but the most important formula I use…the formula that is the foundation of everything I say is…
here goes…
Say what you mean and mean what you say…
without being mean when you say it.
I hear you thinking – is that it? Is that all there is to it? Yes – and yet because you have been taught to say what you think others want to hear or you have developed the habit of aggression, that simple formula can be a challenge to apply.
PowerPhrases aren’t just about confrontation. They are also about connection. PowerPhrases! will help you make that connection.
Hundreds of people (I’m not exaggerating) have told me that just using that formula has transformed their communication. Start with that simple principle today. And search the site for more information to help with your specific communication challenges.
