Communicate101

Someone rightly said,

"The mind is a wonderful thing. It starts working the minute you're born and never stops working until you get up to speak in public."

Do you think these stars were always stars?

Do you think people always let up for them when they walked on the stage?

Do you think the huge round of applause is that they hear today always existed?

Nope! They used the STAR method! According to Nancy Duarte, a STAR moment should “dramatically drive the big idea home”

Your audience should always leave your presentation with something they’ll always remember. Having said that, what does it actually take to create a memorable STAR moment?

This episode is all about that, just with some add ons!

How often are you speaking to someone new, feeling like the conversation’s going pretty well, and then…

Silence hits. You don’t know what to say. They don’t know what to say. This is so awkward. What do you do?

Conversations are a dance of words, where each person knows when to step forward and when to step back. Chances are, those conversations moved smoothly from one speaker to the next, and naturally from one topic to another. There was no sense of "What do I say now?" or "Am I supposed to talk next?" You and the other people in the conversation felt free to enjoy spending time with each other instead of worrying about how to make the conversation work. This is a skill that you need to master because it is a real life skill!

I shared two strategies in part I & II of this series. Today, I'm sharing the super cool strategy, mastery of which will ensure your conversations keep flowing naturally and never run dry!

"When ever I talk to someone new. It always dies after the introduction.

I have no idea why.

I literally feel awful because I know that I can talk to people and I have the confidence to approach people. But I never have any idea what to say." .......

I hear this from clients, all the time!

The best conversations always have both interlocutors bouncing off one another's statements. So, if you're struggling, just remember that it might not be your fault, at least not completely :). This podcast and particularly, this episode is for you if your conversations keep running dry!

Who said it was easy to keep conversations going! However, it's not all that difficult if you use the strategy I'm going to share today! In most cases, you can use what the other person says to keep the conversation going. In communication lingo, “what they give you” is called free-information. So, instead of constantly thinking up new things to talk about, you simply use what they give you. People leak free-information all the time. You just need to be more open to hearing it. When you notice something of interest in the conversation, comment on it or ask a question to open up a new path in the interaction. You’ll be amazed how liberating it is to enter a conversation knowing they will give you what you need to continue!

If you’ve never learned how to keep a conversation flowing, it most likely has hurt your social life and even your work life. We want to help you improve this part of your life. And once you know how to keep the thoughts and words flowing, you’ll be surprised at how many more doors open to friendship, activities, and joy in your life.

I shared one strategy last week. I'm going to share one right here. Another follow up strategy will finally complete the top three strategies on how to master the art of never letting your conversations run dry!

Starting a conversation is one thing. Continuing it, without letting it run cold, another. This podcast is all about mastering that skill! The secret to keeping up a conversation is to be interested in the person you're speaking to.

"When ever I talk to someone new. It always dies after the introduction. I have no idea why........I literally feel awful because I know that I can talk to people and I have the confidence to approach people. But I never have any idea what to say."

This episode is an answer to just that! It'll help develop meaningful connections with friends, partners, and co-workers. Once you master this skill, you can easily have long conversations, with the other person doing the heavy lifting of talking. No matter who you are, it can be hard to have interesting conversations—even the best talkers run out of steam every now and again. Let's learn it right here! this episode has three parts. Don't forget to check out the next two, in the following two weeks. There's an intentional segregation, so that you can practice the technique shared, and share the progress in the comments!

You’ve waited patiently in line for hours, and you’re next up. Only a minute ago, you were as cool as the proverbial cucumber, but now your breathing is speeding up, your heart is thumping, your stomach is churning and your palms are beginning to sweat. You feel a bit dizzy, and your legs are going numb. What’s going on?

You’ve got stage fright, also known as performance anxiety. Many people experience a mild nervousness before giving a speech or doing a recital. But for some individuals, the thought of performing can cause panic attacks. Feeling nervous before a performance is natural — and part of your body's way of helping you do your best. The "stress hormones" (like adrenaline) that your body produces at times like these can actually help you focus.

In this podcast,

We’ll understand

Why n how

You’re not alone

And I’ll show you

THREE MANTRAS

That you can personalise

And make your own

To master this

Performance anxiety.

Its GAME ON!

I lost my dad in the February of 2023. So, this podcast is dedicate to him, in celebration of the life he lived well. I don't know if this podcast is appropriate to share with everyone because it's very personal. Having said that, I have never been 'politically correct' and always spoken my heart out. So, sharing this, is like sharing my grief, my pain, and how I'm coping with it. I thought about my dad's meaningful contributions in my life, and put the top three in this podcast. I hope this resonates with some of you. A lot of sections, in here, are spoken impromptu, because my hand trembled in pain, as I attempted to write it. With gratitude

to all my listeners.

With love,

Sarika

Who likes blame? No one....right! and who blames.....well, all of us blame others more than we think we do!

Blaming other people is an easy way out. This denial of responsibility also denies us control of a given situation. Blame means less work as when we blame, we don't have to be held accountable.

Some of us perpetually get blamed. Especially for things we didn't do! What's the way out? What do we do? How to handle the toxic blame-game? 

This episode brings in smart strategies to handle the situation when someone blames you. Believe me, these are not rocket science, and yet, they help us become better communicators!

"Make me laugh & I'm your friend!" someone rightly said!

Humor proves highly effective in creating a human connection between conflicting parties, thereby diffusing tension. Mahatma Gandhi once said,

"If it was not for my sense of humor, the continuous disharmony and animosity would have pushed me towards madness long ago."

Humor, a crucial cognitive skill, possesses the ability to address conflicts in unexpected ways.

Improving relationships entails mastering the art of employing humor and play to navigate through disagreements, alleviate stress, and foster communication that strengthens connections.

Okay, so it's no replacement for going to the gym, but one study found that laughing for just 10 to 15 minutes a day can burn approximately 40 calories—which could be enough to lose three or four pounds over the course of a year. :)

When used with the right intent, consistently succeeds; it provides context to disputes and humanizes even the most severe circumstances.

Conflict is an inherent aspect of life, emerging in various forms like interpersonal relationships, discussions, and debates with unfamiliar individuals. Despite our best efforts, complete avoidance of conflict is impossible. Consequently, the ability to comprehend and address conflict is crucial for day-to-day interactions. As we introduce our moods, perspectives, needs, and personalities into our work environments, differences with colleagues may surface. If these conflicts go unaddressed, they have the potential to disrupt collaboration and diminish productivity. Nevertheless, it is imperative to acknowledge that conflicts can be resolved and, furthermore, they can yield positive outcomes by bringing underlying issues to light, fostering collaboration, and igniting innovation. Let's delve into exploring how to navigate and glean lessons from conflicts.

This episode is in continuation with the last one where we talked about

why we hesitate to ask for help

each one of us has a unique reason why we shy away from asking anyone for help

we also talked about 

when to ask for help, 

where, that is best people and time to seek that help 

& most importantly,

We talked about how to seek help

And understood 

the SMART WAY to seek help

a way which is 

Specific. Meaningful. Action-oriented. Realistic, Time-Bound

In this episode,

We will talk about THREE effective

Communication Techniques 

Practical

Tried & tested techniques

To Ask For Help!

 

When your back is up against the wall, you will do what is necessary. You will ask, isn’t it!  This is true, at least, for some of us. Every day, we're in situations where being assertive can help us — like asking someone on a date, approaching a superior with a question, or asking for that glass of water. But asking for help often makes us uneasy because it requires surrendering control to someone else. You don’t want to hear a no, or look weak and needy. You don’t want that embarrassment! The worse thing is – if you have gathered the courage to finally ask for something, and your request want even paid attention to- then what! Ouch!

You just need to ask the right way

It is a completely learnable skill. So instead of pretending to have all the answers, confidently ask for help. Learn to ask for help! We talk about all this, and much more!
