Did you know there are different types of questions? Annoyingly, we often default to the question type that doesn't actually help move us towards our goal.
Take a few moments to watch my short video and you'll learn a few of the different types so you can be more conscious of your speaking habits and bring the correct question type to the situation at hand.
Do share this video with the rest of your team to help them make the same change - it's my little thank you for having you join my mailing list.
Being polite is important in communication, but it can feel contrived and not authentic if you pour it on too much. The right amount is like the subtle spicing of a good dish. It needs to be "just right".
A classic example of politeness we can use on a phone call are what I call the first and last response.
After a caller tells us why they are calling, instead of beginning with, "What's your name?" let's insert a polite and courteous, "Glad to help." Then you can ask, "May I have your name?"
Then at the end of the call instead of saying, "Ok, bye," try, "Have a great day."
Watch and see what I mean.
