#35 – How to have good conversations and keep them going, even when it gets challenging

Imagine you go to a party or networking event, you don’t know anyone and you are really afraid of starting to talk to strangers, because after a couple of sentences of small talk, it happens what we all don’t like: This long embarrassing pause, because you don’t know what to say. Imagine you have to start a challenging discussion with your colleague or manager and you get confronted with a strange comment or even a verbal attach. And there is it again: This long embarrassing pause, because you don’t know what to say. What if you would have some small recipes or templates in your mind, that would you make feel secure, that – whatever another person says to you – you can always keep the conversation going and can always retain the upper hand in a debate?! You would feel so much more safe and confident, no matter to who or about what you have to talk. In this new episode, I share two of these powerful templates with you, that I have learned in my education as an NLP Practitioner, so that you can try them out directly in your everyday (working) life. And I would like to offer you to practice these templates and additional powerful communication hacks together with you on a 1:1-basis. Because knowing the theory about that is the first step, but you have to practice to get better and I would be happy to be your coach to offer you a safe space for that, provide you feedback and the necessary fine-tuning, so that you will get more successful and visible at work because you are the one who speaks up for her interests! I would be happy to get to know you in person in a first free-of-charge consultation: https://www.michaela-kettner.coach/book-consultation You can also find and contact me via LinkedIn, Facebook or Instagram (@michaela.kettner.fi).
