Show Notes

In my latest three solo episodes, I’ve talked about watching our spoken language, our facial and body language, and our written language. Often, we will have a choice about what mode of communication to pursue. It’s worth some careful thought. If we take advantage of the opportunity to carefully craft and review what we write, that’s a plus. Sometimes, our tone of voice and our facial and body expressions can soften a blow, express kindness in a way that is harder to do with written language alone. 

If we know the person receiving the message we are sending, we may know what mode of communication works best for them.

You may be familiar with what some call the three-email rule. If the topic can’t be resolved and the conversation completed in three messages, it’s time to move on to another mode of communication: phone, video, or in-person. 

Spinning your wheels in frustration is an invitation to conflict that you should decline.
