#503: 5 Minute Fridays – Be Straightforward (Podcast)
Manage episode 80065401 series 74311
Today we’re going to look at a bad communication habit that can minimize your effectiveness both at work and home. You might recognize this habit if you’ve ever heard someone say to you “just spit it out!” Yes, you got it…the habit is called padding or hedging your words. Hedging or padding your words can create a lot of misunderstandings. The practice also takes away from your credibility.
Most people pad or hedge with the best of intentions, but what happens is the opposite.
Lesson: Avoid Hedging and Use Power Phrases
You’ll have to listen to get them — too boring to write here.
Encouraging Word for the Weekend: Matthew 5:37 (Phillips) “Whatever you have to say let your ‘yes’ be a plain ‘yes’ and your ‘no’ a plain ‘no’—anything more than this has a taint of evil.”
