Excerpts from this conversation with David Reich:

 

Action Items

• Practice observation techniques to understand how messages are landing and tailor communication accordingly.
• Use phrases like "help me understand" instead of disagreeing to have constructive discussions.
• Focus on being authentic, candid and vulnerable in conversations rather than putting on airs.

The biggest key really is observation.

We have to look at other people, we have messages, we have things we want to say, we want to sell an idea, we want to convey a joke, we want to tell.

And we have to not only know what we want to say, but how it's landing. And that's actually how I came up with this whole tactical communication method.

Because as a magician as a mentalist, as you're going through your performance and your communication, you need to see how things are landing where people's eyes are.

And if it's working, and if it's not. And then and this, this takes a bit of practice, okay, can't do it overnight, just like anything good requires a bit of practice.

But you can start to tailor your message and tailor how you're communicating real time on the fly, to make your message resonate. And that's how you get people to want to hear what you have to say.
